41 with my twin. Always have had some kind of fun car for autox and track days.

40+ with a new BRZ. Age doesn't matter. Get what you love.

Just turned 50. Just sold my 2020 86 with a premium MT on order

Dadhawk · 01-04-2022, 09:12 PM

62 here. Interesting fact is that I've been driving the 86 for almost 10 years, or around 21% of the 47 years I've been licensed to drive on the streets.

Nothing. Lived with what we had.

Oh, OK, I got the picture -

Did you ever lose any of the kids out of the back, with the suicide doors? -

Same thing I've learned as I have gotten older. Forties used to sound old af when I was a teenager, now that I'm that age, not at all

Got an 04 WRX at 31. Got the 16 BRZ at 44. Still drive both. Probably never get rid of them, just add a car or two.

52 here, and currently waiting on my BRZ Limited that I ordered last month. Will be coming off of the second of two consecutive WRXs, a 2019. Lease is up in April and the new WRX looks like pants, plus I’m kind of bored of WRXs atm anyway, so BRZ it is. Already getting the mod bug as a result.

Don’t care about age, just how much fun I can have.

37 and waiting on a GR86 allocation at a local dealer. I had a 19 STI, daily a GTI and I plan on autoX and tracking the GR86. This is not my daily.

Wow it's good to know it's not all youngsters buying these cars.

I was 45 when I got my '14 BRZ. Now the car is 8 years older...

53 and picked up my 22 BRZ yesterday. Ordered in August. Very happy with it. Of course it's a manual.
