Over 40? How about over 60? LOL. I am a die hard speed freak and will always be. I hated my dad's Buicks back in the day and have always hated cars geared towards the gray haired set, of which I am now a member. You are as young as you feel. My Evo X puts a smile on my face every time I take it out. And, I live by the axiom that you can never have enough power. Unlike my dad who never understood high performance cars, both my son and I have 2011 Evo X GSR's. In this case, like father, like son...

^ Felix, the gray hairs sometimes bring about a slow response. My personal turbo doesn't spool up as fast as it used to

This is great. You gentleman have very good taste. I've seen FJF's car in person, and it's super clean. I purchased my VIII from a guy in his mid 40's.

Once upon a time, the Beatles said never to trust anyone over 30. Now that they and I are well past 30, I would say never to trust anyone under 40! LOL Sick car there btw.

if we went by maturity level I wouldnt be allowed to post at all. Thanks I love this car even though my family hates to ride in it due to all the rattles and noises. It keeps the conversation to a minimal which is fine by me.

I had no idea some of you are as old as you are.

You gentleman make me proud. I'm 4.5 years away and not counting.

Local that is the car I will eventually own but I'm not giving up the Evo if I can help it.
