So what would you call an R8 or a Porsche GT or a Ferrari 599 owner? Would you consider those cars to be restricted to a certain age?

I'm just curious because I see our cars and those cars mentioned above being driven by all different ages and genders.

I know one guy who is a multi-millionaire, in his mid 20s driving a Prius, but I also know of a guy who makes mid $100s in his mid 30s driving our cars.

The truth of the matter is that there are more older people who can afford nice cars than there are young people who can afford nice cars. In a way its kind of sad because it seems like these cars would be more enjoyed by younger people....but, that probably isn't true; I'm enjoying the heck out of mine. It also seems like younger people would be better drivers with better reflexes, etc.....but my own experience and my own observations don't bear that out. Younger drivers often take more risks and rag their cars out more but that doesn't mean they are more talented drivers.

And when you really come to think about it I think I'd rather see the stereotype middle aged man or woman in these performance cars that some spoiled, silver spoon rich kid or some half witted pro athlete who is going to wrap it around a tree before the first oil change.

I don't know about a majority. Alot of sports stars, rappers, movie stars, and the young guy's who made millions in the computer industry own at least one ferrari in addition to a Lambo a custom Rolls Corniche, a Bently pink in Paris Hiltons case. Yes, I am completely envious. (except for Paris).

The older dudes, are into G37s and vert Lexus IS's

Yes, you're driving an old person's car, you should probably go kill yourself now

Or the old bitty is driving a young person's car. OMGIJUSTDONTKNOW!

Who cares? You like your car you like your car, G35, Civic, Ferrarri, same rules apply.

I almost got a G37. I was really thinking on that. I am making my car fit for me and making it look like it was made for the younger Generation
