My thought exactly.
I intend to either be killed by a jealous 20 year old boyfriend of some 19 year old gal when I’m 100 or so or go in a stolen helicopter around 120. But slamming into a wall at a drag race ain’t bad.

I want to die fighting lions.
I read a book years ago about a guy who was a famous lion hunter in Africa.
The author noticed that the hunter had a rather motley looking group of dogs. He asked the hunter if he used those dogs to hunt lions.
The hunter said that he did use those dogs.
The author was amazed. Some of the dogs were quite small. He thought the hunter would use large dogs bred to fight lions.
The hunter said he just went down to the dog pound and collected up the stray dogs.
The author said that was uncaring and cruel.
The hunter disagreed. He told the author to look again at the dogs. They were all well fed and happy and lazing in the sun.
Then the hunter said,
“If you were one of these dogs, would you want to die whimpering in a cage, or would you rather go down snarling and fighting a lion?”
Me?
Dear God....please let me go down snarling and fighting lions. Amen.
I hope he beat his previous record for the 1/4
As a former skydiving instructor with hundreds of jumps, I always thought the same thing: go out enjoying yourself in the fast lane, instead of watching days go by while horizontal and timing out.
