I'm sure the majority of the owners are older but they're not active on the forums

Turned 60 recently, no college degree, business owner and no debt. It's the NO DEBT part that makes me feel like 40 especially when the govt. and the economy hits the "reset" button in the next two years.

I will be able to drive this car and two more like it when good paying jobs become as scarce as an Akrapovic exhaust system for $ 299.00.

Such a profound quote...

C'mon, I respect the fact that some of you don't want to answer but when you come across like you're reserved due to a higher level of wisdom it's condescending to everyone else. This is a forum, we are not strangers at a bar where it would considered rude or impertinent. We are a group of people from all over the world that share a common interest. This was a interesting thread. There's people of all ages sharing in this post, and some younger guys too. It seems that most of you worked hard and busted your ass for it and earned something special from the fruits of your labor, and that goes for the older gentlemen too. It's really nice to see and admire that quality. In my line of work I see my share of hardworking people, and then I also see parasites that just take from the Gov't and feel that they are owed something...and I'm sure if they saw what I drive they would hate me for it. Congratulations to all of you.

Damn


Congrats to you young guys!



I am 43 - going bald, working hard for every dollar & paying WAY too much in taxes -


I can't imagine how fortunate one must be to be getting into such a wonderful car as this at such a young age.


However, I feel lucky, buying my first car, a Honda Prelude, right after my post graduate education, then slowly advancing up the m5 now.

Hopefully you guys know realize how fortunate you are.



Now feeling really old at 43!
