Okay, since I fit the mold (65) of what your "friends(?)" are saying to you, I'd just like to say "SO WHAT?!?!" Like most of us are saying here, if you enjoy driving the car, that's all that matters!! I remember when I sold my '66 Chevelle SS396 when I got married in 1971 and the heat I took for that... They were just ignored. Now my "friends" just don't say a word.
And lets not forget this U-Tube video... I don't think she'd agree that this is an "old man's car"!!!
