Reading this forum for the last couple of weeks it seems to be a younger crowd. Please don't take offense but I was just curious as to the average age of the forum. I just bought my 2005 RX-8 and have not had a sports car since my 20's and it feels good to own one again, so I was wondering if I am wierd for my age to own one again

 

I think there was already a thread on this...I'll see if I can find it...
I know in the lounge there are threads for different age groups

here's yours :-P

thanks at my age one doesn't like to search for things like this

 

What gave it away? "How much should I tint my windows?", "I was owned by a Mustang"… or was it "LegHumpers Pt 2"?

 

17

 

I'm 48, or 336 in dog years, and bought my '05 as a balance between wants and needs. The wants were met by the overall perfomance and uniqueness of the car, and the needs were met by a usable back seat for our 10 and 12 year-old daughters. After 30,000 miles, I'm proud to say all objectives continue to be met now, as much as they were two years ago. Zoom-zoom!

 

46. Thought I had gotten the sports car thing out of my system, but I was wrong. It may've been being stuck in an SUV for the last 7 years. As soon as the kids were grown and out, the SUV went out along with them.

 

No offense, but what's with all the older people? Rotary Revolution!!! I'm 21 by the way :D

 

I am exactly 7860 days old.

 

I am 26. I think it is great someone twiced my age drives the same sports car I do. When I am that old, I hope I still have great taste in cars like you, and I'm not driving a town car, lol. Or worse, a pickup truck.

 

im 21...i think the car is great for all ages! but my dad doesnt like ot drive it, complains about his head hittin.

 

I'm 26. I hope when I am in my 50s that I'll still be young enough at heart to buy sports cars. All things in moderation - including pragmatism.

 

While I'm sure you are one wierd dude, I doubt the 8 is the deciding factor.

31; not quite 1/2 your age.

But when you start getting close to "retirement age", imo, it's the perfect time to get back into sports cars and *****. Much more time to enjoy such toys.

 

I'm 18 @_@

 

26 in august

 

Oh wait--I drove one in high school...


I am 26, and this is my 3rd rotary powered car. Just broke 2,300 miles on it.

 

I wouldn't feel weird about your age.

It's not like you're hanging out with these people in person or anything.

Besides, internet is where someone's true personality shines through. There are 17 yr olds on this forum who come off as being 30-something, and vice versa.



...and you can never be too old for sports cars

 

I'll join you at 58 in September. You really owe it to yourself to try an autocross with your new baby.

 

39 and 1/2, but I'm holding fast.

Rotary Fun is ageless - just enjoy

 

im 20. ive seen all kinds of people and ages driving this car. some race it out, some are stock except for 20 inch chrome, some kited out all for show, too many middle aged women with stock base automatics tho

 

Yeah Rotary Revolution All The Way!!! I Just Turned 20.

 

none of those around my area shinka213 is on the other side of the world from me lol

 

actually we have an older guy that hangs out with us at every meet he drives a 7 and can out drive the best of em...hes also in a rock band

 

I'm 25. I've owned a few rear wheel drive japanese "sports cars" now, and I have discovered I have a real taste for them. Owning a rotary just seemed...natural to me.
