Fountain of youth: 107-year-old Florida man drives red convertible, has fiancee

SARASOTA, Fla. — A 107-year-old Florida man keeps his wits through a debate group at his senior home, spending time with his fiancee and periodically driving his red convertible.

Joe Newman, who made a bid for Congress in Sarasota when he turned 100, runs a discussion group at his senior facility. Keeping up with current events keeps him going, he told WFLA.

“It is my contention that mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise,” the centenarian told WFLA. “Just getting out of bed in the morning and figuring out something to do that is worth doing the next day and that is it.”

He spends time with his fiance, Anita Sampson, 99. They have yet to set a wedding date.

“We are waiting for my fiancée’s mother’s permission,” Newman told WFLA. “Of course, we have had trouble getting an answer but we will wait.”

He can also be seen behind the wheel of his red Mercedes convertible that he bought from his podiatrist.

True love springs eternal. My guess? She’ll outlive him.

Gold digging Sugar Baby. Can't you see she's only into for your money? The second you're gone she's probably going to hook up with some Stud Muffin ten years her junior.

Joe has a LOT of snap.

He runs circles around most folks twenty years younger.
