This whole question is kinda sad!
I say your never to old to do anything you like doing!
If you like the car and can responsibly handle it, then keep driving it until you just CAN'T SEE!
This goes for anything.
Take a clue from pilots.
They can fly as long as they pass their physical and vision exams!

There are plenty of other cars in the world that are a blast to drive around.The reward was no longer worth the effort in his mind. There's no harm in that. The idiots are the ones who make themselves miserable and don't do anything about it!

only limit at the high end is physical and mental capacity, and interest. now if there were a minimum age of 25 required to drive, there would be a lot more FD's still around.
Manny, just at the peak of skills and performance mods, why did you sell?

I've seen 50 year-olds on full-blown sport bikes tearing up the canyons, passing 20-somethings on the inside and going on trips to Vegas with those bikes. Just about any car is a Cadillac in comparison to today's agressive sport bikes. You're too old to drive an RX7 when you are dead, hehe.

It depends on how long you've had the FD. I've had mine for almost 9 years before I sold it last Saturday (Nov 13). That's a LONG TIME. Most folks trade for new cars every four years. I want to read posts from FD owners that have had their cars for at last five years.

My 5 year anniversary of ownership is coming up on 31st of January 2005. I even took my FD to England for a year. I don't know when I will ever part with this car. And the best part, 6 more car payments to freedom! The day you are too old to own an FD is the day you don't have a huge grin on your face when you drive it. Or when you can't get physically maneuver yourself into the car.

I am 20. I drive FD. I cant look to future when im older. I live for the now. When the driver has lost the will to fully possess such spirit of FD, that is when the driver will become unworthy of its legend.
