Now we're getting into occupations as well??!!
Before we know it there'll be no mystery left and none of you will respect me in the morning.
Gotta say it's no mystery why the IT and science guys love the 8. You need a bloody degree just to figure out how the Bose stereo works!!
I'm still finding more buttons to play with.
And as for the obsession with recalibration of the ECU and analysing every conceivable function via the scanalyser - hey, whatever turns you on right? :D :D
Just kidding.
And Kalli - don't be tempted to reveal our little secret!! :p :D :D

The 20s have control...so far
Well good response so far guys to the thread
have done a tally of ages so far and so far the majority of Rx8 owners in Australia are in their 20s.
Under 20 - 4
20s - 13
30s- 9
40s - 3
50s - 4
60s - 2
I reckon as the RX8 ages and becomes cheaper it will attract even more young people like the old 300Z, 180s, supras and Rx7s etc
But remember, as has already been stated, the majority of users of this forum/ computers would be in the younger age bracket.
i'm not going to get into the sex statistics.........thats male of female, not how many times you have had sex in your car (which would probably be quite difficult with the big centre console and limited head room)
Youngest OWNER in Australia is aged 17 but there seems to be some controversy over who that is?

IMHO, this kind of situation is when the electric seats really prove their worth.

I agree. Many people over a certain age believe this sort of thing (i.e. internet forums) is a waste of time.
It isn't, is it?? :D
Guys like Nojooc who sell them are best placed to give an idea of demographics. Despite the tabulation in this thread, I'm betting the majority are over 30 and there are more over 40s than under 25s.
Still, it doesn't really matter to me how old you all are or what you do, etc. We all love the car and want to trade info and the odd gag and that's enough for me.

I was being tongue in cheek xxup re: whether it was a waste of time - mainly referring to the time I cruise the forum when I should be working. :D
Absolutely no doubt that a complex car like the 8 takes some learning and I've picked up loads of useful info from the more experienced members.

Hey get back to work...
It's a public holiday up here today... I'm about to take Miss 5 to the park and the Finance Director to Coles.. (What will really happen is that Miss 5 and I will be dropped at the park and the Finance Director will switch off the DSC and ROAR off to Coles!!) :D

I bought my first PC about 20 years ago, and have been building my own for over 10 years, but I can only think of one friend of my vintage who does the same. Whereas the 20's age group grew up with them, and many were hooked in by games and stayed for the other benefits.
Of course, some of the older guys have the excuse that they work harder than I do and don't have the time. :D
(PS I can't resist a smile at the typo of "litteracy" for "literacy" - kind of an unintentional George Bushism.. :p )
