25 and dreading that I didn't have any RWD cars up till this one lol. I've only ever driven AWD and RWD trucks and vans, but have no idea what a RWD small car would feel like behind the wheel. So exciteD!

Now that was uncalled for . If you get involved in the Porsche and other high end car forums you'll find that the age is in the 40's and up into the 70's.

The Internet is not just for 20 somethings. I started using the Internet before some of you came into the world.

In the end we are all car guys (gals) and we are all in it for fun

You realize that he was sarcastic right? Btw he is closer to 40 than he is to 20. Lol

That's only funny because that's an outdated comment, probably made by someone older than a good portion of us.

I'm 23 BTW. I've seen too many of these polls in General Discussion so my first response is joking. It's not that I'm immature but I try not to be too serious.

Really? Forums have been around before the advent of the Internet. I was member of user forums in the '80s although they were called BBSs. Exactly who do you think wrote the software to create them in the 90's anyway, aliens?

Now get off my Internet you doggone kids!

29.

These age brackets are strange.

Second, 16-18 year olds have zero buying power.

28 and have owned a Porsche 911 and BMW M3..this is a great day for sports car enthusiasts. I do worry too about idiots owning these. Especially with Scion having practically the same car. I think tasteful upgrades will be the way to go. The reason I went up-market with my sports cars is A- I like mastering cars and B- I was tired of idiots coming up to me and asking if I had NOS or drifted my car. SMH - I just enjoy sports cars and windy roads with a lot of pace.

As of Saint Patrick's Day 2012, I am 68 -- no typo, no joke, folks.

Some of us old guys still like to have our fun.

BRZ Limited, 6-spd manual, SSM, pre-ordered 3/2/12.

Ouch, that hurts.

Love seeing the broad age range. I hope to be enjoying fun cars like this when I am pushing 70!
