45, paid cash, I have had a cool car or bike every year or two for many years.
I see this alot "how old is everyone" on here, on Harley boards, on other sports car sites I go to.
I never understood why.
There always some kids, a bunch of 20 somethings and a few older, then a couple of guys over 40.
You are as old as you feel you are and what you drive has nothing to do with age.
I drive and ride whatever I feel will be fun for a while, I never think about the demographic is was designed to hit.
young guys who work hard and pay cash or finance on their own, good for you, you are learning good life lessons and earning good credit, (hopefully), guys in their mid to late 20's early 30's working and buying the,selves a z, nice, why not right? guys who have been busy raising kids and working and nit had time, money or credit to buy one and are now in their 40's getting one, goof for you, you deserve it., etc..
A kid who's parents buy it for him on his 16th or other younger birthday good for him too, yeah it isnt earned but wtf wouldnt you be glad to be that lucky?
I think those fortunate enough to have money, and the ability to drive anything they want get a lot less enjoyment out of any vehicle that a guy who cant afford it or can barely afford it but works hard to make it work, at any age.
my first car was a 77 Ford Pinto all decked out lol I used to race 4 cyl mustangs of the same era and destroy them.
Ill have a Z for a year or two then on to the next thing, whatever that might be.
