Question Simple Question- how old are you?

I have been on and off this site for a few months and was wondering what is everyone age on here.

Check the upper right corner of each post, most people already have it listed there just like in your posts.

And if it's not there, they probably don't want people to know. :P

I'm at least 34! I think. Is there an age limit?

Just seems like owners of the crossfires are a little older crowd. Don't see to many 20 something's here...

I'm 20 something. That would be 20 - 38.

Maybe true. And, it seems you are a little older than a 20-something yourself! In all honesty, we've got our share of those who are not yet twenty, and there are also plenty of folks who are empty nesters on this forum. Good taste, it seems, is a quality that has nothing to do with age.

That said, I would imagine that people in their thirties and forties are a rarity here, because two seater sports car ownership is somewhat at odds with those child-rearing years! But, I have a plan figured out that will allow me to keep my Chrysler into those years when I will be raising kids.

GodofWar,...You pique my curiosity, so I did an (unscientific) random survey of 100 forum members over the age of 20. Now there is no way to tell for sure if they all actually own a Crossfire or not, but I figured if they were out of their teens, the chances are greater that they're more likely to be owners and not dreamers.
Over all average age turned out to be 36.5 years.
This is how the individual #'s broke down.

Ages

20-29........38%
30-39........27%
40-49........15%
50-59........12%
60-above... 8%

If I would have had more time, I would have taken a larger sample of members.

Wow, there's a sixteen year old Crossfire owner??? Well, I'm 19 and was 18 when I bought mine (no disrespect intended to the sixteen year old, but I place emphasis on the word "I" in the phrase "when I bought mine")... In my area (Salt Lake City, Utah) I haven't found any other Crossfire owners ANYWHERE near my age with the exception of a 22 year old college girl that owned (rather, her father owned but allowed her to drive) a white Crossfire... Regardless, I fell in love right then... Just kidding.

By the way... sorry to the older guys but I must say - we younger guys just look better in these cars. And honestly, at my age, do you really think I have passed up the chance to take my Cross out on the boulevard (I don't know what you call yours where you're from, but every area has one - whether it be State or the "vard" or whatever...) and steal all the cute little girls from all the CIVIC owners... Do you really? Yes, the Crossfire is teenage cruising tested... and, well, let's just say it's seen it's fair share of "action" lol... Hey, at least I admit to it??? I'm young, so what...
And yes, as stated before in the thread age has nothing to do with taste... I just can't make any sense out of those that are into the generic middle class muscle cars and such - or the ricers so much - it's all about high-end luxury, with beautiful, classic lines to last... I would love to keep this car in pristine condition to take to car shows fifty years down the road and to show to my grandchildren... This is one car that will be a classic - and a rarity at that.

That statement is undoubtedly true. However we old guys look better in these cars than we would look in a rusty '53 4 door Chevy. I'm not sure I would have survived if I would have had this car when I was 19. A car that goes 150 while the ***** to brains ratio is still tilted heavily toward the ***** side. Good luck. ;-)

I'm 58 and it beats the alternative.

Haha... actually that's one I'll completely agree with you on - I wrecked my car four times in the first half a year of owning it... along with many, many, many tickets... and a few reckless driving ones in there also... The car is a miracle to even exist lol...

My company is looking for a CFO- with your ability to actually come up with these numbers- this should make you a shoe in... lol

I have to admit that regardless of age, look, height or weight, this car does something to me that only a few have in my life. (Grant it I am not like Uncle Al at 58), but I have owned a variety of cars. From a Boxster to a Escalade to even a 1965 Mustang Fastback. All of them looked great but did not give me the feeling I have found in this car.

One thing for sure is- we must all have a certain passion about these cars- regardless of age.
