Years ago I saw a quote attributed to Eddie Murphy, "I bought a new red Porsche sports car so women will see me driving it and want to f&ck me." That is the world's second worst reason to buy a car. A car is NOT an avatar for a person. To the extent that it projects an image of the owner it is an unflattering one.
A car is less, and more than this. For a true "car or motorcycle person" the machine communicates with the driver/rider on a level that defies explanation. There is a symbiotic relationship in which each participant is tuned into the moods and needs of the other. I know it's probably TMI but think of it as sex with a soulmate, Out of the 30 or so motorcycles I owned, probably 3, maybe 4 fit that description. I've owned, I guess, 12 cars. The BRZ is probably the second of those that I've gotten that close to.
It's not an "age thing," it's a mechanical "soul" thing - one either has one or one does not.
