average age of RX8 owners

Love to know the average age of RX8 owners.
Would be good to get a poll going i.e age ranges

I'd expect a lot of older owners due to high price, insurance costs and appeal of "child seats" in the back. On the road i mainly see old people driving RX8s and young people driving 350Z etc.

What u think guys ?

i'm 26. i don't see enough rx-8s to really say whether it's older or younger guys driving them though. the few times i've noticed, they were guys who looked to be in their 30s or 40s

my guess would be late 20's early 30's. The rx8club forum probably skews young just because I'd think the older ones wouldn't be online as often (in large numbers anyways), whereas most of the younger owners would. I'm 28 just to weigh in.

Well Nico and vasomaya,

I am 31 and I think I am about the youngest here! Well maybe nojooc, 8aby8, the Elites, K r a i z e, WPNRX8, playa....

Our average age of active members in this region forum (a... ham), has been draged up by one man and one man only... he tried to stay young by having a lot of young mistress

I think there are a lot of wise rotary people here is in the mid 40s... Hymee is young (me thinks). Timbo is in his mid 40s, so as mikeyr (who just past 40 right mike?)... no sure of the others.

Getting old is not the problem - it's the alternative that's worse!

You could be right. Several owners in their 50s or so have made brief appearances here but not stayed for long.

It's the same with online games forums - mostly younger guys doing the chatting - but when they have an age discussion thread all sorts of ancients come creaking out of the woodwork. I guess "how old are you?" is the one question that most people on a forum can actually answer. :D

I'll be 60 next year.

(and BTW, I'm not the older guy with all the mistresses that Taka referred to! )

I was 16 years 3 months old at the purchase of my RX8. Now im 17 years 1 month old.

I guess I would be the youngest 8 owner.

WPN is still the youngest Aussie owner since we don't have our license until we are 18

Do we really care how young or old we are on this forum.

I remember reading a thread where all the younger yanks got in quite a tizz trying to demonstrate who was the youngest - I suggested the winner should receive a tiara! :D :p

And let's not even go down the owned outright/still paying it off/gift from Daddy line.

It's the car that matters people - not your age or how you saved all your paper run money to be first in the high school carpark with an 8.

Revolver's right.

I'm young, ruthless and reckless on the road. I admit it.

BURNOUTS RULE!
