Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age.... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So before I bought the FR-S 3 weeks ago, I was kinda of hesitant thinking " am I to old for this kind of car, I mean I am a 35 year old dad." Reading on hear it looks like there a few of us out there.

So just as the title says....How old are we?

36, married w/2 young boys (3/5). I might have bought the BRZ over the FR-S had I understood Scion's marketing demographic upon moving to the US, but who really cares. Kids are young enough to fit in the car, old enough to enter/exit without assistance yet I don't need to lug around strollers etc anymore. The car's a joy to drive, I'm entertained and looking forward to a few more years like this.

35 too old, LOL.

Was 44 when I bought it nearly 4 years ago ... My wife actually claimed it as being a mid-life crisis decision.

64 going on 17.

He will be along. Can't type and use the walker at the same time especially with those large key keyboards he needs.

My kids are teens and though they won't fit in the back with my wife up front, I can with [reasonable] comfort fit 2 passengers. The rear passenger has less leg room but more head room than my Genesis Coupe had.

One thing that surprises me is that after a long drive, I spring out out of the car (OK, I kind of climb and shamble LOL) and I feel great. Most cars bother my back and legs after a long drive and I have to take 5 or 6 steps before I walk right again. These seats are great.

About to be 36. Age can be defined by the number of scars, broken bones, and your attitude about them.

I have a broken back, but feel great! (And know enough now to not do it again) Young forever! Lol.
