Just curious. A lot of the people on H/T were playing with Tickle-me-Elmos just the other day. I feel like the old dude that goes to clubs trying to pick up college freshmen.

 

haha, where's GK?

hell no ill never get to old for my R

 

No. If I ever feel too old for my R, just shoot me.

Besides, it's so much fun watching the faces of young folks when they see the yellow R, and then they see the guy driving it! I'm sure they think it's wasted on the old guy (unless I'm on the track at the time).

Just turned 48.

No plans to stop.

 

and how old is "too old for the R" supposed to be?

at the 2002 ITR Expo at Gingerman there was actually one ITR owner older than Ken (nsxtasy). The guy was (probably) much older than Grandpa George too.

 

No way, your never too old to be in love

 

Yea, Ken is always trying to drag race me around Chicago. WTF?

I have no plans of getting rid of my R, but even if I was twice my age, I'd still enjoy it and enjoy the looks on the local stunnas' faces.

Yea, I think he was in his late 60s or something like that. Really cool guy, see him around the autox here.

No way I am ever selling my R.

That's awesome and I strongly think that when I'm 48 I'll be driving a four cylinder import (unless domestic auto technology catches up).

I'm 25 and I hear about these 17-18 year old guys driving R's and wondering how they get their hands on them (they aren't exactly cheap). Then again more power to them. If you think you are too old for your Japanese four banger, go to an autocross. It's incredible to see guys your father's age slinging around Miatas, WRX's, Integras, MG's, CRX's, & so on...

There is no age limit when it comes to cars.

Not any more. used Rs (like mine ) aren't that expensive when compared to similar cars so it isn't too hard for a teenager to get one, especially with a little help from the parents.

That's true. When I go to car shows, I find that I am older than 90% of the crowd. when I go to the racetrack, I find myself in the bottom 10% in age.

Admittedly, once in awhile, I do wish that I didn't have such a "boy racer" car. But every time I drive it, it reminds me why I got the damned thing.

Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

That's my personal mantra.

 

I'll be 29 in January. Sometimes I feel my Type-R is too young for me. At the same time, I love driving it, I love not having a car payment, and I cant think of anything I would trade for.

 

37 and a National Service Manager for Major Japanese Manufacturer. While parked next to all the Businessmen's sedan in the company lot, I have the status of refusing to grow up!

 

33, and not old at all. I feel like a 17 year old when in my caR

 

Considering that I am 18 years old I do not feel old...actually quite young and fortunate to have one

I received my ITR 4 months before I graduated from high school (2001). My mother had a problem with me driving her car so my dad went to the Acura dealership and solved her problem.

nah

 

Im only 20 so I sure as hell dont feel too old. I think people may look at me like... his parents bought it and he has no idea what he has. But all is justified at the auto-x (even though I have only been to 2 but im getting pretty good )

 

Im 20 I feel young

 

im trying to convince my dad to test drive one. he just turned 51. but he doesnt think a ff can be fun to drive.

 

I know a guy who was 60 at the time and he drove an R.... His second one.... Never too old for an R.

Oh and he drove it like an R should be driven....
