Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age....
 

So before I bought the FR-S 3 weeks ago, I was kinda of hesitant thinking " am I to old for this kind of car, I mean I am a 35 year old dad." Reading on hear it looks like there a few of us out there.

So just as the title says....How old are we?

52

51

36, married w/2 young boys (3/5). I might have bought the BRZ over the FR-S had I understood Scion's marketing demographic upon moving to the US, but who really cares. Kids are young enough to fit in the car, old enough to enter/exit without assistance yet I don't need to lug around strollers etc anymore. The car's a joy to drive, I'm entertained and looking forward to a few more years like this.

35? "Too old"? LOL

I think you are in for a surprise on here!

35 too old, LOL.

Was 44 when I bought it nearly 4 years ago ... My wife actually claimed it as being a mid-life crisis decision.

64 going on 17.

Going on 38! But driving this makes me feel 21 again!

Where's @humfrz at?

He will be along. Can't type and use the walker at the same time especially with those large key keyboards he needs.

45

My kids are teens and though they won't fit in the back with my wife up front, I can with [reasonable] comfort fit 2 passengers. The rear passenger has less leg room but more head room than my Genesis Coupe had.

One thing that surprises me is that after a long drive, I spring out out of the car (OK, I kind of climb and shamble LOL) and I feel great. Most cars bother my back and legs after a long drive and I have to take 5 or 6 steps before I walk right again. These seats are great.

About to be 36. Age can be defined by the number of scars, broken bones, and your attitude about them.

I have a broken back, but feel great! (And know enough now to not do it again) Young forever! Lol.

54

Ok. This is awesome. I don't feel like I'm tiring to hard to hold on to my youth. I love my new FR-S RS 2.0. I liked the 1.0 but just seemed a little to Fast and Furious to me.

That's funny. My wife said the same thing. I was on the fence between a Focus ST or the FR-S. My wife said " if your going to have a mid life crisis, get the car that looks the part." Lol.

If you buy the car when you're younger you're a "try hard ricer drift racer wannabe" if you buy the car when you're older you're "trying to hold onto your youth"... So going by what society tells me there's never a good time to buy this car :lol:...

(28 going on 29 btw...)

Wow you look way younger. I thought you were early 40's!

61 officially, but I started counting backwards 4 years ago so I'll say 53. At this rate, My daughter will be older than me in about 12 years.

53, and i have two 86's, but I also have a Fiesta ST.

Youre never too old for an '86 in the UK. It has a lot of respect here, but is renowned for being underpowered.

Well at least the furious part.
I am so sick of hearing "ohhhho mid life crises eh." It is an inexpensive econo coupe not a freakin' Ferrari or Vette.
This ^^^ all day long. The car was targeted at the younger pre family crowd AND the older empty nesters with some disposable income and no need for passenger room or have a second more "practical" vehicle yet we are the two groups that take the most flak for owning it.

I'm 41, my dad got his FRS before me.

Get off my lawn.

LOL

32. I have a 5 year old son and 2.5 year old daughter. I have a booster for my son and when I take both kids out I just take the minivan.

I also cross shopped the ST siblings but got the FRS because i wanted a more pure sports car. Both the Subaru and scion camps have their fill of undesirable enthusiasts and there is literally nothing on the BRZ that makes it go faster or handle better. I got a smoking deal on my Halo 15 w/ cpo warranty so I jumped on it.

Another one of these threads? I'm an undead vampire lord. 3012 tomorrow.

Honestly, age is just a number. Always enjoy life and don't let the number hold you back from things you love.

As long as your healthy you will always feel young!

So don't do drugs and get drunk everyday and look after your body.

Sorry, need a bit of clarification. Are you saying 'don't do drugs and get drunk everyday', or 'don't do drugs' and 'get drunk everyday'.

Just trying to figure out whether I should be heading for the liquor store or not.

Oh, and 55 (BRZ though). This car brings me back to my '85 Honda CRX and '92 Integra GSR days in terms of a blast to drive.

Age is just a number.

When I bought my first car at 18, my dad told me I would be tired of a manual tranny in six months. He did not share my passion for sports cars. Still driving manuals. Still driving sports cars at 55. Second FRS, just bought last week.

Wow I am shocked at some of these ages I am seeing on here. Not just with the fact that you all have this car but also the fact you all know how to use a computer.


Joking. Lol

I know your joking, but seriously, I was probably building PCs before you were born.

Oh, don't be so grumpy, you old curmudgeon.

LOL @Dadhawk we got another one!

I have internet since 1994 and this is my 12th computer (not counting the Commodore 64).

Just wait. The really old guys are still napping and haven't shown up here yet.

Or they fell asleep waiting for the page to load with their 56k AOL.

Holy crap! There is 56K now??? Why didn't anybody tell me before this. Ohhhh all the posts I have missed out on.

still on that 9600 baud?

52 Remember this? You gotta here the end when the printer kicks in. :D

Oh, is it morning time already .......... :sigh:

I'm moving a bit slow today ....... damn walker lost a wheel (I reckon I should have used a torque wrench) ..... oh, that was the other thread.

Then, I dropped my pill box ...... had to count them out all over again.

The internet is slow today ....... I had a hard time kicking my neighbors off the party line, so I could sign on.

Oh, yes ....... age ....... what about it .. ??

hmmmm........ best wind this post down, the tea kettle is whistling for me to make my oatmeal.

Oh, I almost forgot ...... I turned 73 on my last birthday ..... best I recollect.
