Meh. Be real crowded if they were all still around.

I'm 72 and have a 2016 FRS 2.0. I enjoy when being closely tailed by a mustang,camero,etc. when I take a tight cloverleaf exit. They can't keep up then blow by on the straight. I have a friend who has a Corvette,he says ,what can you do with only 200 hp? I said,pull away from you on really twisty roads! Anyway how fast can you go on the highway and not get a ticket and getting 39 mpg on a road trip shut him up.

I'll see your Ducati and raise you an MV Agusta!
(But I'm still going to sell 'em. Not because I'm old in the head but because my body won't do what I what it to anymore!)

Nice! me too, sort of. Guy traded in his M900 for my bike. Road it around the block in February and then wanted his Monster back. I bought with 18 kilometers on the clock. The only way I was able to buy it was that I promised the wife that my next bike would be able to carry a passenger. The Final Edition only came as a solo but I converted it to two up. The next year she bought her own bike...

Wow... I'm a 'youngin' 48 in this group. Bought myself a 2013 BRZ from a friend's son, got me laughing how old I am. Mid life crisis?

I was in the EV bandwagon with a BMW i3, but decided I should do one last manual car. After testing the newer ones, eg. Honda Civic (too smooth manual), I found that the BRZ/FRS/86 is the perfect one. Feels like a manual car from the early 90s, but made in the 2012+. So here I am.

Oh ya, with all the cool motos... got myself the 1st edition of this bike 10 years ago.

LOL. Yeah, another good one from her was "How many sets of wheels and tires do you need?". Now she mostly just shakes her head in disapproval.

I've gained a year from my previous post ... 57 - Can't be happier with DDing my Breeze.

My current garage is a one car 3/4 sized (can only exit driver side) detached garage. Moving to a bigger house with a full two car garage. I gotta keep the Subie happy.

Oh and the wife gets a garage space now too.
