Only if you feel like it does. I know 35 year-olds who look and act older than I do and I'm 61 (chronologically speaking, not mentally).

Well, Happy 50th Birthday, there gravitylover.

No, not old, at 50, you are just middle aged.

No senior moments, or brain farts will be accepted from you for a few more years .....

AARP will be in touch .... before you know it.

I'm really only 14, just ran out of hair and gained a few pounds.

Umm too late. I've been having those since about college but that's pretty likely from all the time spent skiing and on Dead tour rather than colleging

What is "Dead tour" ..... ??

In reference to AARP ....... do NOT EVER reply to ANY of the requests for a donation! If you do, you will get on mailing lists from them, that will fill your mailbox forever.

However, if you do feel like donating to the cause ....... just send it in anonymously .........

At 53, I'm still riding motorcycles and love cars. The BRZ was my wife's idea. Things haven't been the same since I sold the Z4 to get a GTI then sold it to get a Crosstrek. The BRZ handles almost as well as the Z4 and is actually smoother. My wife is suggesting a louder exhaust and stereo upgrades. If I could get the same sound out of the BRZ that I got out of the Z4, I'd be ecstatic.

I don't donate $$ to anything really. My time, for things like building mt bike trails yes, but money almost never. Although paying taxes feels like donating to a cause, a useless one but a cause nonetheless.

53. Love my GT, especially now that it is much faster. I don't like corvettes, and I've owned a 911 since I was 25, so midlife crisis Toyota.

I saw a Q-tip driving an FR-S here in Ottawa the other day. But I wasn't at all surprised. A fun car is a fun car. If you are willing to endure the struggle in an out of it, then buy it.


BTW: I am 32 and struggle a bit to get in and out... Especially when I am going to and from work in my office monkey outfit.
