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?

Re: Simple Question- how old are you?
I'm 68 and have entered geezerdom. Makes getting up in the morning exciting. It must do something for the way us old geezers look as I had a young hemetless lady on a Harley start chatting me up at a red light. This chica was no doggy and had a set of girls to die for. This is not the first time I have received attention from much younger women because of this set of wheels. Its a real ego builder... and a hoot do drive to boot...

Seriously, the age doesn't matter if you've got the looks to begin with; it just means a different class of girls in some cases. I'm 47 and don't mind it a bit. Happy hunting out there, I found the rack for my bedroom wall years ago and I'm content.

Re: Simple Question- how old are you?
I had my Corvettes and motorcycles when I was younger and now that I'm older than dirt, and much, much wiser I'm enjoying my Crossfire and Jet Ski. What you guys have to realize is that as you age you still, if you have your health, feel the same as you do at 21. Just don't look too closely in the mirror. I have cherished each of the stages in my life. School & single, married and raising kids, retired and enjoying grandkids.
I was born in 1943 ( I know some of you will say " that's civil war isn't it?) you do the math. I'm collecting social security & pension and enjoying every day. I sincerly hope that all of you will have the same blessings that I have had.

And honestly, at my age, do you really think I have passed up the chance to take my Cross out on the boulevard (I don't know what you call yours where you're from, but every area has one - whether it be State or the "vard" or whatever...) and steal all the cute little girls from all the CIVIC owners... Do you really? Yes, the Crossfire is teenage cruising tested... and, well, let's just say it's seen it's fair share of "action" lol... Hey, at least I admit to it??? I'm young, so what...
And yes, as stated before in the thread age has nothing to do with taste... I just can't make any sense out of those that are into the generic middle class muscle cars and such - or the ricers so much - it's all about high-end luxury, with beautiful, classic lines to last... I would love to keep this car in pristine condition to take to car shows fifty years down the road and to show to my grandchildren... This is one car that will be a classic - and a rarity at that.

Re: Simple Question- how old are you?
I had the 29th anniversary of my 18th birthday this past year - driving this car is certainly something anyone of any age should enjoy - the smile just permeates...
However you got one - gift or purchased - it's a 'star' on the road, and the fun will most certainly last - younger folks be careful - don't wreck the car - it's way to beautiful to be in a body shop or wearing bondo...

Re: Simple Question- how old are you?
How old am I. Older than dirt, but still feel like 21 as long as I don't look too closely in the mirror.
You guys do the math!
I was born during "The Big One" and no the big one was not the Civil war
I'm not a "Boomer" 1946-1964, I'm a Woopie = well off older person
Married 44 years to the same woman, if that sounds horrible, you havn't found the right one yet.
I'm still living in the same town I was born in.
5 grandkids & 4 granddogs.
My Crossfire is my 39th. car. I've owned, GM, Chrysler, Ford, German, English, and Japanese cars.
I've owned 9 dogs, and 6 houses.
I'm collecting Social Security and a pension, and yes, Social Security will be there for you with a little tweaking.
Working because " I want to" with 3,4,& 5year olds. Keeps you young.
When I was going to school for CAD/CAM to augment my tool & die trade, there were 9 guys in the class all younger than me. Six months into the course one of them asked my age. When I told him 48 he was shocked as I didn't look that old. He also said that I was old enough to be his father. I asked how old he was and he said he was 19. I asked him where his mother was 19 years ago, maybe I am your father.
Only problem with getting older is that someone may mistake the Crossfire "Permagrin" with rigor mortis.
