Lol, you should have seen what it was like when my dad was piloting a boat at the age of 80 ... he has this thing about people raising their voice at him, so sitting next to him and yelling "YOU'RE HEADED RIGHT AT THAT [boat jetty sandbar pier]! STEER RIGHT!! STEER RIGHT!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STEER RIGHT!!!" would set him off ... so when he was piloting the boat I would turn my seat around, facing the stern ... figuring if we both died in a fiery crash it was the least I could do for him after he had done so much for me. He never did run into anything. I talked him into selling the boat and not driving at night but every once in a while he will clip part of a parked car ... he will be 85 in a month. I think without the chemo he would still be a pretty good driver.
