Have you come up with an average age yet with the postings so far?

How old am I? I am elderly. Which means I have lived beyond my life expectancy. This due to my Magnesium input. Gary

Sure hope your a non smoker!

In addition to being extremely bright, burning magnesium produces some ultraviolet light; avoid looking directly at it.

I concluded the human body was not designed to use cigarettes. I quit 35 years ago. Magnesium controls blood glucose. Gary

54 here
I suspect the under 30 and over 50 bias is more related to having kids to haul and needing a backseat with finances limiting going multiple vehicles. In my 20s I drove 2 seaters Fiat 124 Spyder and X 1/9--with 10 year old Fiats needed 2 so one would likely run to get to work , once kids came got a truck with a backseat and a station wagon Late 40s Went Mondial 8 for backseat for occasional teenager hauling once the they had driver's licenses went back to 2 seaters XF and Bertone X1/9 for more fuel efficient commuting etc while keeping the truck jeep and a station wagon for hauling and adverse weather.

55 Hers 05 Limited Alabaster Roadster bought July 2006 9100 mi now 83400 mi

55/77 Ours 05 SRT SSB Roadster bought Sept 2007 5200 miles now 22340 mi

Maybe, just maybe, someday the spare will be worth something more than I paid

If not, my wife has enough Crossfires to last her for a long time

All completely stock, no major problems pump replaced both SRTs, both heated seats in Ltd,

and convertible top in Ltd all covered by basic or extended warranty

Keep the faith

Looks like we have discovered the fountain of youth. I was doing some errands with the top down on this fine 58 deg Vermont afternoon. I felt half my age driving this car. A great retirement present indeed.

WOW! Hard to believe I am one of the "younger" ones here at 55.
That's only 18.3 in Crossfire years!
