If it is too fast your too old (or young;)).

"are you a poet or something, I've noticed a couple of your post are this way....strange it is just a car, not some super thing...I love my FD and all but bottom line it is still a car not some legendary thing..."

its is obvious you have lost the burning vigor that you may have once cherished so intensely. Search deep inside, and rekindle the flame of FD. Lets enjoy our hot rodding style together.

search your feelings, you know it to be the truth.

Well I searched my wallet. No money in there. Must be because I own an FD, haha just joking.

Your posts read like the silly dialogue in those cartoons my 12 yr old watches. You know, the ones like the picture in your avatar...;)

I've grown too attached to my car with everything I've done over the years. I don't think I could start over on building another car like I have this one. It's too much time, work and money invested. My wife has also come to accept the fact that I owned the car before I met her, therefore she has no say in it's future :)

I had my FD before the FnF popular craze, and plan to have it well into the future when they are no longer the flavor of the month car for 16 year olds. I enjoy the car for the car itself, the way it drives, the way it handles and the way it looks. I could give a damn less about what other people think of how old is too old to drive it.

I'm 60 years old and I don't see me ever being too old unless I lose my physical ability to drive a car, any car.

Keep driving until you physically can't, then just save it for a coffin. That's my plan :)

Yep...that's a definite sign. KEEP HER :D

I'm too old. Switched to BMW M3/4 LOL :)

spank2 07-17-05 11:44 PM

To old is if you run out of money to keep the FD glass car alive.

cewrx7r1 07-18-05 12:04 AM

Better old and wizer than young and foolish!

mibad 07-18-05 09:20 AM

Never trust anyone over 30!
Oh wait, I'm 49 now. Fuck.
There's no age...when I'm 80 I'll be trying to squeeze a few extra amps out of my fuel cell wheelchair.

CrispyRX7 07-18-05 10:19 AM

I've owned my car since 1996.
I'm over 30. ;-)
The car is "slightly" modified. :D
I do feel "awkward" at times when I drive it on the street. Teenagers look and point as I go by.
I expect people to scowl at me when I goose the throttle a bit at each stoplight. Am I too old to be scowled at? Should a man of my age and "situation" be acting occaisionally like a teenage hooligan? The car certainly promotes this kind of behavior :D It gives me pause, am I too old for this car?
But then again when I take the car to the track all those issues become secondary simply because the car is fast, damn fast, and it doesn't matter how old the driver of the car is on the track...if it goes like stink.
It's then that I realize age doesn't matter.
Like someone metioned earlier....I'll probably be buried in the car.

I'm over 30 as well and I live in a very wealthy town overall although I myself am not what I would consider to be wealthy. I have to live with looking at guys who can barely walk sliding precariously into their 575 Maranello with aftermarket Tubi exhaust, grandmothers driving 360 Spiders, and the C5 is now a belly button car for anyone over the age of 55. Sometimes I get a complex just because my car ISN'T nice enough. Sometimes I long for a cupholder, adaptive cruise, a/c that works on all fan settings and a window switch that doesn't go out every year. But then I hit the go pedal and realize I'm going by too fast for anyone to notice how old I really am!

Hey, being an adult is all about doing the things we weren't allowed to do as kids - of course without killing anyone in the process. Which is why we weren't allowed to do it then.

minameise 07-18-05 12:20 PM

Ive seen alot older people driving better and faster than I do, and alot of older people that just shouldnt be on the road. Same goes for the younger crowd also. It just depends on the driver.

joastarlet 07-18-05 02:01 PM

What about a new vote:

How is to young fo owning an FD3S:P

SleepR1 07-18-05 08:43 PM

Michel and Chris--bahh...you're both too old. Come join me with the rest of the geriatrics, and drive a Bimmer M3. Going fast? Ehh...that's for young people now. Heck I don't even track anymore...

Damn, my post count is 6130, and I don't even visit that much (scratches head)?
