65 YR old dood driving an X MR... WTH?!

Just thought I would share, it blew my mind when I saw an old dood driving an X MR out here in Austin, and I mean old. I don't think I have ever seen that, anyone else ever see something like this?

There is an old fart here in Iowa that is color blind driving an MR.

He has taken all the black pieces on his silver MR an turned them to rally red. It looks horrible. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt by assuming he is color blind.

What's wrong with that? The first compliment I got on my X, a few days after I bought it, was from two older (grandmother-aged) women at a traffic light. They weren't driving an Evo, but they could appreciate how awesome it was!

Man, you guys are funny... I think that it is great that some older people enjoy the EVO X. That is kinda why they tamed it up a bit from the EVO's of the past.

There are lots of "older" folks that have Evo's.

Most of the people I see on the track with Evo's are at least in their late 20's/early 30's; most older....

It's actually more shocking to me seeing some kid in their late teens driving a new Evo X.

yea lots of older people own evos, they might not be the main age group that likes evos but they are the most likely age group that can afford them.

My mom (60-something) regularly enjoys driving my Evo. Then again, she has a 2000 Vette showcar and used to race a 68 GTO back in her day.

What is wrong with that?



i know many people who are older then 50 drive evo's... They are just not on the forum. They have better and other things to do... But dont sleep on most of them They are just as crazy as you are, in fact couple of them is a Rally or Track driver
So you might think who is this old fart, but your *** can be handed to you very easily, when it comes down to driving or even tune up the car

Rob

/ps: im far away from 50 /
