It IS cultural. duh. It IS statistically true. duh.
It's STILL a lazy generalization.

i stopped telling people i won't sell. i just tell them "for the right price" and then remind them they're offering to buy me out, not buying at market value. older people might take care of their performance vehicles better due to more disposable income, and stable career, but i don't believe that anyone with enough of an interest in performance vehicles regardless of age treats them any better. that might've been true back when grandma could 'accidently' order a 'nice coupe' that happens to be an olds 442 for going to the grocery store and church once a week-- i know of a few cases of supra's like that as well--it was a relatively tame looking car in stock form. but all the new performance vehicles are too stylistically different for that to be as common of an occurrence anymore.

My grandma used to totally smoke young guys in their Camaros and Mustangs when she drove the Galaxie. She was a huge NASCAR fan and drove like it right up until she couldn't drive anymore. My mother had several muscle cars over the years. Also a huge NASCAR fan she would gladly take anybody on in her 427 '66 T-Bird. It was so done up that when she started it all the windows in the neigbourhood would shake! The Toyota dealer near work has sold 4 new Supras. All of them to women over 50! They knew exactly what the wanted. I have read that over 60% of Mustang sales are to middle aged women and watching who drives them I would have to think that is accurate. Let's be honest here. In most cases the guys that are the stereotypical performance car owners can't afford to buy these cars new. It is the older and often female crowd that buys them. Hell, even the 86 has a much higher female ownership that it appears.Becuase grannies don't gather at meets, hang out at the track or frequent forums doesn't mean they don't exist.

I guess we are but I don't think like I imagine "Old Folks" think. I know we both feel older than we wish some days but I still laugh at fart jokes and like looking at naked ladies. (I can't speak for the wife.) |
