Then have 1 or 2 longevity potions near the end of your life, which would get you there. or maybe you're actually 1/8th elf alreayd and our illustrious DM could figure you will live to max age for a human.
Well the bonuses still accrue, just not the penalties.
Additionally, I was thinking of Prestiging into 'Ruathar' (from Races of the Wild). My character would have some of an elf's lifespan that way. As much as my character is raised by humans, he has also been raised by elves. It'll make a whole lot more sense when you read his background, but he mimics many elven ways of life, though he was born a human.
