that can make me lose my mind rocking out in the car. I often wonder what people think when they see a middle-aged woman bouncing up and down in the seat and pounding on the steering wheel.

I don't really feel much different overall than I did when I was in my 20's. A bit more achy and slow, but not much different overall.
