How old are you?

The Where are you thread and several others got me to thinking. I was wondering how old you all are. So I thought I would start. When I retired I decided to buy myself a fun car.

When I was looking at my retirement fun vehicle I did miss out on a 2001 Shelby Cobra convertible. (my own fault) I also thought mustangs were a young man's car.

I bought a 2001 Corvette coupe. When I was on the Corvette Forum, someone started a similar thread and determined that most of the members where over 50, some into their 70's. So it was true Corvettes were for older men.

When I tired of the Vette I got my present Mustang. I'm loving it incidentally.

So.... I am retired and 64 years old. Wondering what other peoples stories and ages are. Hope I'm not getting too personal..

49 and 50 later this year. This is my midlife crisis car. After driving a minivan for 7 years, toting the kids and their friends around, I told my wife I wanted a muscle car. I also asked if I could get a girlfriend too, and she said no the girlfriend idea, but the car was ok. Both wasnt an option either, never hurts to ask.

During my search, I looked and test drove Camaro, SRT Challenger, Charger, Corvette, and Mustang. All were nice cars, but the 5.0 sold me. I felt the Mustang was giving me the most performance for my dollar, so here I am.

I've had it for 9 months now, and love it. I still smile every time I start it up.

50 is only midlife if you plan on making it to 100. Just saying.

I probably started late having my midlife. I was focused on work and the kids, but they say 50 is the new 30. I tell everyone that I'm 30 with 19 years experience.
