29, will be 30 April 3rd. So when the sun doesn't come up, the seas freeze, birds fall from the sky and life ceases to be....you'll know it's April 3rd.
Oh god I'm gonna be 30. What happened to my youth. No no no what happened, I look 25, don't I look 25, say I look 25 (crying loudly)

I have an honest question for the 18-25 crowd...
what jobs do you have/where do you work/how do you afford to own, drive, maintain and MOD these cars at that age?
I do mean that with all due respect - I am serious...
anyone want to weight in?

I said I was surprised because around here you see middle aged and up driving A6's, due to cost. I am curious, too....

I think the forum attracts enthusiasts, which tend to be "do it your selfers" and therefore younger people. In addition, many of the forum members are driving 6-10 year old cars where the depreciation factor has made the cars economical to acquire. They get to buy the cars for $15K instead of the $60K us old farts pay to buy them new. In addition, since they are "do it your selfers" they are not paying the dealer to maintain these cars.
Of course I could be wrong and they all could all be Wall Street Wiz kids.

i think kevin hit the main reason right on the head. i always do all my own work.
and for wammy18, all my stuff is paid off except my bike.
it also helps that i'm doing architectural CAD drafting for an achitecture company, that pays pretty well, and i have scholarships and grants to go to school, so i don't pay for college either. all in all, i don't have a ton of stuff that i need to pay for, so i just spend it on cars and save the rest.

24 and I am on my second audi.
I am in the real estate business and have been for about 10 years. Just because of how crazy it sounds I will explain. I used to build and maintain websites when I was in high school for real estate agents until I was old enough to get a license to sell.

after giving it some more thought - I realized I was no different. my passion for the past 10+ years has been my Jeep Cherokee. I have poured more $$$ into that thing than I can remember. (mostly voluntarily) And in reality - i bought it 10 years ago when I was in college, undergrad. I actually payed considerably more for my jeep than I have for my Audi.
My Jeep has now made it into toy status, andis no longer my daily driver.
I too do all work on my vehicles, boats, toys etc.
I operate/manage a large full service Marina on Long Island.
good to be on this forum.
cheers.

Take Draky’s age multiply by two, subtract 1 year and you’ll know how old I am.
I have been involved with cars and racing since high school. I drove a NASCAR Modified and drag raced in the early 60’s, a series of sports cars including a Datsun, bunch of Alfa Romeos, a Corvette, and a Brabham formula B in the late 60’s and early 70’s. In the early 70’s I retired from racing and focused on my family. I did stay somewhat involved because a relative my technician was involved with the NY Modifieds and he wouldn’t let me back out completely. I got to do things with guys like Geoff Bodine, Maynard Troyer, Roger Treichler, and Richie Evans. When Richie was killed at Martinsville on Oct 24, 1985 I stopped going to races altogether because it hurt so bad. ( Do a Wiki search on Richie Evans to learn more about him.)
In the late 90’s my son dragged me back into automobiles when he went to work for an Audi dealer. Our first project was a BMW 2002 that was quickly followed by a Mazda RX7, Acura, Audi 4000, and Audi 90 Q. (We even stuffed a 2 liter VW motor in a Yugo but don’t tell anyone.) Later additions were a 200QT, 2 A6’s, a Passat 1.7T and a Jetta. I almost forgot to mention the roller skate…
I am currently the Process Technology Manager at a company that is involved in nuclear fuel, solar cell, fuel cell, and electronic component production. In the past I worked in process research, quality control, manufacturing management, and customer engineering.
Today I spend my spare time with my two granddaughters and running the scoring computers at a NASCAR short track. Almost forgot—and attempting to keep the damn vehicles running because I hate spending money on something I can do myself.
Sorry this got so long --
