64 with a 3 month old son......1st 86'r.....getting the fr-s for him to take to college....I think it will still be relevant then....it will be awhile before he can drive it

Oh, sure. But I look at Evos/WRXs and such and think how much more fun they would be with two fewer doors, a lower center of gravity, and 600 pounds lighter.

32 here, but since I don't plan on living past 65, it's a midlife buy--as soon as I can find one.

42 this October.
I'm on the Toyota 86 waiting list.

Really old guy here. 60! But, I got to see Hendrix and more...and no,I'm not driving like some old fart. The car has " Ticket Me " all over it. Oh well...guys are guys.

Another 60 year old guy looking seriously at the FR-S to replace my RX-8. People say I look 45 (it's the hair dye) so I'd look okay. After the FR-S I'll get an old farts' car like a Camry.

TrickyFrenchman · 06-20-2012, 12:11 AM

I belong here, too. 45.

phm14 · 06-20-2012, 12:27 AM

50 in December. Lots of guys around my age @ the track.

MT is the big question!

you beat me by 1 year! I have a 1991 Celica GT-S, I"m 49

56 years old. Went from 2010 370Z Nismo to FR-S. Couldn't be happier.

57 years young and have been going through a mid life crisis since I was 18. Always had toys. Motorcycles, Corvette at 18, the list goes on and on. The FR-s caught my eye some time ago and have been waiting for it. Just sold a beautiful Mazda RX7 last year, had it for a month and sold it because I needed a shoe horn to get in and out of it. The FR-s fits perfect. It's just more fun in my midlife.

How many miles on your Celica?

xcelir8brz · 06-20-2012, 01:52 PM

40 years young.

42 here. But this car I'm hoping will have time-warp capibilities, rejuvinating me to a youthfull 41, maybe 40.
