(Before some readers were born.) It was a long time before for another real (and affordable) sports car appeared, but it was worth the wait.

Yeah. This is my first sports car since the 1990 Miata I bought new when they first came out and I still have it, too although it's been supercharged since 1993. I've owned a Porsche but they're too expensive to buy and maintain to have fun with (unless you have money to burn). BTW, I'm 63.

Would you mind revealing some of the other (sports) cars you've owned (besides the SC300)?

I'm 67. Owned a CRX and a Celica when I was younger and always wanted an affordable sports car. I'm hearing I'm in my second childhood; maybe but still love the car. I'm a Chartered Accountant (Cdn equivalent CPA)

Sonolin · 10-02-2012, 06:08 PM

I'm 20, turning 21 this month. I figure this is an early birthday present to myself.

Currently looking to be making around 70k next year, as a full time software engineer. This will give me that extra little motivation I need to bump up my pay rate (I work from home, so it takes a lot of self discipline when I can just take a day off whenever I want to!).

itisthumper · 10-02-2012, 06:17 PM

25, single, and finishing my last year of college. Currently working as a help desk technician and am expecting to stay in the IT field.

Good to see other tech geeks in here
