When it comes to performance cars it seems like first time buyers are often part of a similar age group. In some cases this is dictated by sheer cost of the vehicle in question (most people in their 20s can't afford ferrari's, high end porsche's, etc), but the evo is certainly one of the most affordable performance cars available, which means that it is more accessible to the masses. Just curious as to how old you guys were when you got into your first evo? I'll start by saying I bought mine as a 22nd birthday present to myself!
