scatman Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 50 years old here. Traded my 2003 350z (paid off) for the Leg GT. This is my practical/sensible car. No kids=mid-life in reverse. Would love a Zo6 C6 but I must say...... in the real world.....sports cars are more fun in fantasy, than reality. Unless of course you own a race track (I live know where near one) I finally figured out after all these years that going fast on public roads is just plain......stupid. My insurance rates are very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmonkey841 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I was 21 as well when I purchased it on my own...got the 05 LGT because I think it's a lot sexier than the Impreza's... It kind of sucks being a pretty young owner, cause I'm sure a lot of people see me and just think I'm just some punk kid whose parents bought their kid whatever ride he wanted...which wasn't the case at all...Let em think what they want though.... Wouldn't have bought it if I were still in school though, had to wait till I had a little job security.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsyGT Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 If you look at that age poll- about 80% of LGT owners are 35 and under! I'm guessing that this is skewed by the sample population- that younger people who buy LGTs would be on the internet and interested in mods. I do feel like an old geezer at 36 on this board, though. Well, you young uns ought to r'spect yur elders! Especially if we're faster than you on the track! tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfd425 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hmm, seems like this topic has been done before, but... I'm 39. I'm a big fan of AWD sport sedans, having come from an Audi A4 that I generally really enjoyed except for the reliability issues. When the WRX first came out, I was interested, but it just struck me as being a little too spartan and cheap-looking (no offense intended to WRX owners -- maybe the Audi spoiled me). Also, I have a family, and the WRX is a little small for everyday practicality. As excited as I was about the power and price of the WRX, I just couldn't make the leap. However, when the '05 LGT came out, I realized that it had the power I wanted, with refinement in the same league as my A4 (maybe not quite there, but close). Like I said, I guess I've gotten a little spoiled in my old age, but for me, the LGT is the perfect compromise of refinement and sportiness.

Windex Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 24 in college doing donuts and drifts in the snow today, so I guess I'm the punk kid too. 36 in two days, in the workforce, also doing donuts and drifts in the snow today, I will always be a punk kid (or at least feel like one). The aforementioned donuts caught the eye of the local police this morning, who drove over with his lights on, got out and said, "Nice car. The scoop (pointing to the hood) means it's got the 250hp motor right?" - "yes officer" - "Cool. Now cut it out" (refering to the donuts). Serves me right. Theres a Provincial courthouse across the street from the mall where I was sliding, and even at 6am, the cops are hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 just turned 25.. had the car for a year now. I am constantly surprised by the number of younger guys i've met who drive GT's. All the old folks drive outbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsyGT Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Got you beat by 10 years, my friend. Once you're this age, Rob, I think 10 years is about equivalent to a month to these young guys! (BTW, any more snow in Beantown?) Although I must admit, it is fun getting sideways! Maybe I'm not so old after all! tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 must be the "older" folks in the outbacks, as I'm almost 43, and I'm in a 5MT GT wagon... then again, I've always had the need for speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I am 23, this is my first car! The worst part about getting this car as a first car, is that my next car will have to better this one in performance. The next "level" in performance is gonna cost me big $$ whenever that time comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
