You know the best thing about being 46+?

Most of the time, you pay for stuff with CASH!

One of the features I like the most about my 8? No payments

Even when it was new, you could buy the lower end models for ~25k. It's really not an expensive car.

I was 26 when I bought mine.

My car was my 40th present to myself...never owned a new car before. Actually as a rule, I never owned a car newer than 3 years. I always wanted someone else to take the depreciation hit.

Why does the poll top out at 46+?

Some of us grownups don't like being lumped in with callow utes of 46.

Put me in the paid cash, love having no payments category. The only upside down I have to worry about is if...

I'm very pleased to see that 46+ is currently tied for second place.

Us 46+ ers may be third place here but we are the ruling majority in the world. If not for us there would be no rx8. We are the original rotary enthusiasts.

True, except that all the other age groups span only five years. 46+ spans 20 or more, so we're not doing as well as it first seems…

I can relate to the late 30's, early 40's group. I owned an '85 RX-7 when my kids were growing up and I had to sell it because they were getting too big, not to mention out-numbering the seats. The day I sold it my eyes got a bit wet as I watched it go away.
