Current car you drive and your age.

Hey all,

I thought it would be a fun idea to see what cars you guys drive and your age.

Considering many of us may/may not be rolling in 86 in a few months

Let's get the ball rolling.

Age:22
Honda ep3r JDM

Stock as a rock.

i used to have a FL EP3 too. sold it in April 11 and bought an Odyssey.

so i currently have an Odyssey (lowered with 19s) and a Golf GTI (pretty much stock).

will sell the GTI for the 86 sometimes in the next 18 months.

btw i'm 35.

it's definitely a big change from the EP3!!!

yeah K24 but with a 1600kg body it's slow but a pretty comfy cruiser.

since it's not fast i only bothered with comestic changes.

can't wait to get back into a manual car...

82 Corolla AE70 2 door notchback/hardtop

mods being 4age 5spd in place of 3au auto.

Has done me proud through my uni days but with a job and steady income an 86 would be a natural upgrade plus AE70s are going for stupid money these days so could go some way towards paying for it (the deposit, that is ).
