fixed!

there is NO way I'm reading all the pages of the other thread to find out.
a poll is more useful.

subatoy · 01-04-2012, 11:15 PM

oh crap I meant to put 25-29! instead of 24.

Not to be a negative nancy but that was hardly your biggest problem here. Why does everyone over 30 get grouped into the same age range?

I see you're from Georgia. According to IndexMundi, the average life expectancy for Georgian is 73 years and 80 years for males and females respectively (1). Now if we're going to be myopic enough to believe everyone over 30 deserves to be in the same age bracket then I'm sure we're oblivious enough to believe that the life expectancy for people is the same regardless of state/country. This means that you effectively put up to 62.5% of the possible ages into the same category. That seems like your poll is fairly biased and useless in determining demographics.

Now this is especially interesting when we consider that Autocar claims during an interview Tetsuya Tada said the target age range for this car is in the 40's (2).

Ah but what do I know? I'm probably just some old man that became upset upon realizing that members on this forum genuinely believe people over 30 are a very weak minority on this site. Maybe I should stop saying phrases like negative nancy.

Yes. Exactly why the previous such thread should just be used as I posted above. Better parameters for answering.
