afws04, You are the same age I was when I bought my first brand new high performance sports car, and 36 years later I still have it. I hope you actually do get to keep your Crossfire that long, then maybe you will be able to make "sense" out of all of us who are into those "generic" middle class muscle cars and such. (But if you have wrecked your car 4 times already, you may want to rethink that "pristine condition" statement again. I'm afraid that ship has already sailed.

 

Yea, I didn't actually buy mine... Everyone makes fun of me for being a little spoiled brat and I admit it. I guess I am!

 

I know CrossyLover I'm just messin with ya - it's ok if you didn't I wouldn't have been able to a few years back, who cares? Anyway as for +fireamx yes... I know what you mean about pristine condition, LOL... Aside from getting underneath the car and going over it with a fine tooth comb, trust me - I've had all work done on it triple checked and the car looks beautiful (when I first bought it I was dumb and tailgated and drove on roads I shouldn't have, left it out, etc... The paint went to ****, quick, especially being black... Now the whole car has been repainted and looks amazing, I keep it covered at all times, drive it better and have applied a clear bra to the front to help protect it - I can't find a single rock chip or scratch on it! I baby it now...). But yeah, to make my point I've learned my lesson and I baby my car these days... I do hope that I can keep it for that long... As for the person that said this car makes them feel different than any other has, how true... I test drove every car there was that was even slightly comparable to the Crossfire and the moment I first opened the door to the Crossfire I just fell in love... Jumping on the freeway entrance and looking out the talon-like windows seeing everyone's jaws drop, I thought to myself "Nothing makes me feel the way this car does..." And this was just after having thrown a 350Z through the canyon... My choice was made right then.

 

eeehmmm...owner/23y.

 

proud owner at the age of 23.

 

I'm 31 and this is the nicest new car I have owned yet.

 

i'm 19 and just purchased my own crossfire a little bit over a week ago.

Wow, interesting thread. Expected to see majority of 40-50ish.

26 Here!

 

just turned 32 here...purchased the xfire in Nov '05 and have loved all of it - the attention on the road is great!

 

I'm 18,391... My owner refuses to give his age... He's very vain, you know how these Hollywood people are !

 

Oh yea...He's from CALIFORNIA!
At least you gave it up that he's a HE, haha!

 

You know what's really crazy? I just turned 29, and AARP has started sending me stuff in the mail. I started getting solicitations to join about a week before my birthday, and have gotten several more since. I suppose my age must have been derived from some statistical genius or industrial/retail marketing think tank, after crunching long lists of numbers on my buying habits. It's accurate to just about 3.6 decades or so, so way to go secret mystery statistician!

Yup, I can imagine the scenario... one too many swipes of my Kroger Plus card. One too many purchases at Amazon.com, when I might have been told that buyers who chose Bill Bryson also may have selected "Travels with Charlie" by John Steinbeck (or at least Bryson would probably like to think so). Extensive records of my endless consumerism were then piped to the thoughtful folks at Chase MasterCard, the AARP, numerous insurance agencies, and of course every major Pizza chain with capability to make glossy direct mail coupons with deals on the weekly pies. Heck, I even get solicitations from gun cleaning schools deep within Wal-Mart country, requesting my attendance for an exciting new career.

Know what? I might just join the AARP. Get a jump start on that whole retirement thing. I would rather not work for the rest of my life anyhow, when I could be living the good life playing golf in Florida and volunteering my time at local hospitals. There might be guilt in the sense that I am not really entitled to it yet, I have not earned it in the moral sense, but oh well. I am not going to live forever, so there is no time to waste on having a conscience. I will tell my employer to kick that pension into gear straight away. Salutations, younger generations. I once was young too, ya know.

 

i'm 21. i'll be 22 in april of this year.

 

Or maybe Darren, you just look "older" than you really are.

 

My Crossfire was a 50th birthday present for me, and I expected more of the owners on this forum to be about that age, so it's a surprise to see so many young drivers.

I still feel like a kid though, so maybe the car keeps you young.

 

I don't know how that could be... every morning, I strategically arrange my most prized comb over hairs!

 

Ain't that the truth...and I'm 46 btw.

 

Hey I am 51 and the car definitely makes you feel young. Age is only in the mind anyway ...anyone can be old if they tell themselves they are. I don’t buy into that and will stay young the rest of my life...of course behind the wheel of my Crossfire.

 

Well, even after tabulating 1395 Crossfire Forum members between the ages of 20 to 69, the percentages really didn't change very much from my first survey of just 100 people.
The largest single group of owners fell between the ages of 23 to 26 years old. Illustrating that the Crossfire is indeed more popular with the younger crowd, even though it's generally a somewhat older bunch that takes part in the usual forum discussions. 26 being the most popular age by nearly doubling the number of owners than any other age group.
Here are the latest #'s.



20-to-24.......222 members=15.9%

25-to-29.......306 members=21.9%

30-to-34.......196 members=14.0%

35-to-39.......169 members=12.0%

40-to-44.......130 members= 9.3%

45-to-49.......121 members= 8.6%

50-to-54.......113 members= 8.1%

55-to-59....... 82 members= 5.9%

60-to-64....... 33 members= 2.4%

65-to-69....... 23 members= 1.6%

Of course there is no way to tell if all these members actually own a Crossfire, but they are the only ones willing to admit their age in the 1st. 6 months of Birthdays listed, and that's where I got my statistics from.

GodofWar, is that job offer still open?
