The Idaho twins will respond:

I am turning 62 (a real senior now) coming up on the 29th.

Rebecca is 58 (she says she is still 29, becuase the last daughter was born on her birthday and they stopped for her)

We have had the twins for about a year and half. Both of us use the cars daily. (rebecca will winterize hers is about another month. Still lots of sunshine here, but getting nippy in temp, for the roadsters.

I am 65 years of age. This is patently obvious when I am driving my '95 Dodge pickup.

However, when driving my Crossfire, I am somewhere around 18-19.

Always wanted to try twins, wouldn't care if they were from Idaho or not. And we are not talking cars. I'm 63 years old, 5' 4"1/2 pale and sickly looking,with glasses. 3 cats and a doggy that all found their way into my home and heart. 3 kids that turned out normal ,didn't expect that with me as a parent. Don't like other people and don't play well with others. Married, and everyone keeps asking my wife "what were you thinking when you married him" and own a 2005 Black Crossfire Coupe. Can't remember when I bought it 5 to 6 years ago. Anything else you nosey bastards want to know??

The truck is a dually faded red over dinged black. Cummins diesel at 6,600 lbs curb weight. Won't do much ove 90MPH.
The Crossie is an SSB NA ragtop at 3,300 LBS and will do a bit over 90 MPH.

But,,,,,,both are stick shifts.

I am just a few days from turning 57, bought my Crossfire when I was 50. It was supposed to be my "Keep the miles low and take it out for Sunday drive car". Well the miles are just over 97,000 now. I don't think there have been that many Sundays in the last 6 yrs. But I have enjoyed every mile, and I'm hoping we both have another 200,000 mles left in us; pretty sure the Crossfire does

32 for me, and I don't think it would be wise for me to divulge my gf's age. She's had hers for almost 4 years, and the SRT-6 has been with us for a little over a year. The thought of anything happening to our rides makes me nauseous at times. You build an unhealthy obsession for them if in their vicinity for too long.

Anybody else notice that the 30-50 crowd is not giving much love to the crossfire? I guess it's mainly either an older generation who appreciates beautiful cars, or a younger one who knows a good deal when they see one. Although there's probably at least a little of both for everyone.

Me, i'm 19, bought the car when i was 18. Bought up front with my own hard earned money, no spoiled kid here. Except for the fact that i drive a XF, that will spoil you pretty quick.

Bought the scooter for my birthday in December 03. I will be 65 soon. I would do the math for years of ownership but am now retired and don't do anything that could even be considered work related.

Now why in the world would you want to do something like that??? lol Maybe with more younger drivers, the aftermarket people will take notice and start to make more performance parts again??? It is a nice fantasy. Not as nice as the "twins" thing though, lol

I was 60 in 2007 when I relocated to Virginia from Ireland and bought my black '04 Ltd. Coupé with just 17,000 on the clock. It's now got 58,900 under it's tyres and it would be a definite keeper if the seat just went back another inch or two...
