Are we too old for our subies????

I'll be 33 this year and someone said that my car is more for a college aged student.
I asked them what I should be driving at my age and they said the youngest car would be a Nissan 350 Z.
I'll admit, I have put an age group on cars myself. Cadillacs = retired folks, Porches = middle aged crises folks :rotfl:

Seriously though...
Have you gotten any remarks like that?
How old are you?

If it's one thing I've noticed...the nicest subies are always owned by older guys. Why? Because they have jobs to afford mods! Who cares how old you are! Just tell them to stfu!

I'll be 44 next week, but I know for sure that now with 213,000 miles, my car is getting too old for me.

absolutely not. As far as modification goes, that's a different story. Some will argue that it is senseless for someone older and more mature to waste their money on things having to do with making their car go faster. I consider it a hobby...some people like to read, some people like to paint, some people like to knit, I like to drive fast. Always have...always will...probably end up dying from it...but at least I'll die doing something I loved.

^^ I agree^^ but let's not get off subject...Do some of you feel too old driving your WRX or STi's?

I think our cars are judged by the exterior, that is, they look like what the "street racer" young juveniles would drive. This is specially thrown out to the STi with the huge spoiler (which I think is cool).

for every 3 kids you see in an STi you see one old guy with grey hair. I always see old guys in STis and EVOs, and i think its the coolest.

girls call me a ricer and i barf in front of them
its just ignorant people that dont know what cars are...

i quiz people ever since i had my miata and 90% of people thought they were FWD

I'm 33 and I only looked at one other car when I purchased my STI in October 06'....it was an EVO Mr.
The only person that commented in any way was my dad when he said," Thats not a MOPAR." lol

Funny you say girls, because that's who's made the comments. I'm convinced that they no nothing about cars and are judging our Subarus by the exteriors.

I'd just ask those people what it feels like to grow old hopeless.



seriously. I never signed up for this grow old and drive a mini van bull****. Shoot my suby is safer than damn near any car on the road.

If I can help it I'll be DRIVING what I like until I die.
