Ya know what’s funny, is ya look at all these high end hot rods which in the 60s and 70s used to be built and drivin by teenagers and young adults...Now the only ones ya see driving these sleds are feeble guys in the 80s trying to impress someone...Very pathetic..

In today’s America, they’re the only ones who can afford these flashy boats...Or the insurance...

Yep. Mid-50s on up seems to be the buyers for actually fast cars. I do see some younger people in BMWs, probably due to relatively cheap leasing and generous parents. Car guys are actually worried about how few younger people are interested in non-appliance cars.

On the other hand, something like a V6 Accord coupe is as fast as most sports sedans and sure costs less.

regressing into childhood is common in Olde Age

(and for some, may be the first time they can afford, or are allowed to have, the muscle car they wanted when they were 16)

Hey I’m one of those feeble 60 something’s that would love to find a 66/67 GTO not to impress anyone just to enjoy myself. Until then I will just have to enjoy my 2004 Tahoe with it’s headers, true dual exhaust, cold air intake and computer chip. Some of us old feeble guys just like power and speed.

How many pro athletes, rock stars, entertainers and tech stars are in their 80s?
