any other 40ish people here?

GREAT TOPIC. No offense to the younger ppl but my perception of the Scion brand was "young ppl's car". I'm 43 and did not want to look like someone trying to recapture their youth. The FR-S/BRZ seem to transcend all the preconceived notions and stereotypes as I've seen quite a few older men and women in this car since I acquired mine. That is extremely encouraging on a number of fronts but mostly for me it says "been there, done that" AND THIS IS A GREAT CAR. Which is exactly my thought because it is. It is reassuring tho to see peers who echo the sentiment. Having said that so far I've added 18 inch wheels and tires, TRD exhaust and "86" center plaque. I wrestle/vacillate with the idea of adding about 50 horsepower DAILY. I don't see myself making many more cosmetic changes unless they accentuate...but the allure of adding more power to this chassis, DAMN!!!
My FR-S is not my daily driver. I have a 2006 Accord Sedan for that and I saw Star Wars when I was 7 years old at a Drive-in movie with my parents.
