The oldest owner? BRZ, FR-S, or GT86
 

After scanning through one of the threads, I starting thinking, "Damn, I most be the venerable and grizzliest person who has ordered one of these cars." Well, maybe Tetsuya Tada, the man behind the car, might be as old as I am.

Btw, I am 56 now, I hope and expect to get the car before I turn 57 (which is around the corner).

Anyone here older, more senior, august, and experienced at driving fast?

my dad is 57 and we are sharing/building the car before i ship out to the military

I'm not older but I just turned 49 in April. :bow:
My Asphalt FRS will be here in June.:happyanim:

I saw one or two old timers around your age with the first86 winners in Long Beach, but yea your numbers are few and far between. ;D

You're not alone -- I'm 56 too. One of the other enthusiasts I met during a dealer demo was justifying buying the car as his 50th birthday present to himself. Hey, somebody's got to buy these things new so we can sell them to the younger crowd once the depreciation has knocked a chunk off the price. ;-)

If my dad likes my car, I've thought about getting him one in a year an a half as a 60th b-day gift... I'd love cruising with him somewhere, maybe racing him too.
The cool thing about the good drivers car that comes along every once and a while is that their appreciation transcends generations.

I'd prefer to rebuild a 68 mustang for him which was his favorite car, but he sold it cause I was coming along about 30 years ago...

61 here, second chilhood or mid life crisis whatever

I turned 57 two months ago. Life time car and bike nut. Been waiting for a car like the BRZ/FR-S for a long time.

It will be parked next to my '89 Carrera 3.2.

Iirc there's older member here... I'm trying to member his SN... But can't remember. I think he had a Fit & Miata? Anyone remember or ring a bell?

Yeah, I remember he was posting in off-topic a while back... I'm not 100% sure but he was in his 70s or 80s I believe. I think it was an age-related thread, I'll see if I can find it.

And here I thought I was old when I joined the quarter century club a few months ago:P

Guess I am the young buck here at 50 this past May 1st.:lol:. Car is a B-Day present from the wife..:)

Bill

Did a quick search and he is @whaap, running at 70+ years old and retired but still enjoying driving. He has a Fit and a Miata.

Great respect to him.

I think it's great to see that we have some more "senior" members on this forum. It just goes to show how broad this car's appeal is. It's got great driving dynamics and creature comforts that anyone can enjoy. :thumbsup:
