I'm 20, have had 3 Evos and 1 STi in my day as well as an 05 CBR 600RR and my baby (09 CBR 1000RR).....No silver spooner here....youngest Sprint store manager!! LMAO...but I drive a X and I have seen an older lady probably in her 50's with one of the other 3 X's around here.

55 years old here and a VIII is my daily driver. I was not always like this, I was 48 when I bought it. I chose to drive VIII over my 2005 E55 as it is a fun car. My fellow executives at work can not believe I actually drive the VIII in a business suit every day and set off about half a dozen car alarms as I drive into the underground parking lot.

Hey, I am 61 and race a X RS in tarmac rallies and drive a X GSR with SST on the street.

Before that I had a IX GSR used on the street and in rallies.

Perfectly normal!

A customer of mine is 58 I believe and she has both a Silver VIII MR and a X SSS. She fell in love with them back in 2004 when she went to the UK and saw her first evo. She told me she came home from the trip and bought one within a week.

Well, at 60 if you were smart enough you should be in the perfect position to start having a lot of fun. Some guys start traveling the world, others buy house in the beach, others buy a corvette or a Shelby, now, if you really want to have fun and still are physically able to drive a rally car, an evo is the perfect option, and even if it's a small sedan it doesn't look like an STI.
I don't see anything weird, maybe because I’m almost 40.
