Agreed, LOL...
I was going to say, I'm old at 52 (will be 53 this year). But I know some here beat me by a decade or more.

42, turning 43 this year! Ugh where does the time go?

 

Will be 76 this month...and yes time does fly when you are having fun.

 

What the hell is 40+ supposed to mean? We die off at over 40? I think the mean age of Porsche owners is something like 50-60. :/

 

Well...if we're lucky, we WILL die off at over 40. And isn't PCA=Pending Cardiac Arrest?

 

Glad to see a good spread...though not surprised 30-40 is the highest as these cars were the ones we dreamed about and had posters up in our rooms of. One great thing though, the body style is truly timeless. I ALWAYS get teenagers and young kids giving my FD's a double take. Most of them have no idea how old it is!

 

Purchased my '93 FD in August 1992 as I was going thru mid-life (42) crisis. Still running (3rd engine and 2nd trans) and 300,000 miles at age 71!!!

 

We need an option to update since I was 30-40 when this thing was posted and am now 40+, hahahaha.

I was getting ready for a solid mid-life crisis stage since I'm 41 and my daughter is 14, but low and behold, I got my wife pregnant so I get to start the raising baby time all over again in December, hahahahaha.

 

I bought my first FD when I was 19. I had a Mustang GT previously and lost a race to an FD. Sold the Mustang and bought the fd a few months later. Blew something like 7 motors and all the money I could make messing with it and learning the platform. I'm 40 now and have been working on them and have owned 7 fds since among other cars.

 

Good God..! , I am 40..! I can't find the brakes..... to slow down....!
Good guys ins here. Keep it going.. cheers for all of us in the 40's and owned the 7 more than 10 years..

 

Nah apparently you were just lying to yourself because you are now in the category of too old to do anything else lol.

76 WOW. Thought I was old at 71. We need a Super Senior Poll. Anyone over 65?

 

Bought my first FD in 1998, when I was 50, just bought my second one a few months ago at 72.
First was a red 93 touring 2nd is a red 94 R2

Lets see, first rotary was a '85 GSL-SE in 1985 at age 24, my first new car. First FD was a new '93 base, at age 32 - had to sell that one less than a year after I got it as kiddos were on the way and my now ex wife needed a wagon/van. Fast forward to '99, and I picked up my '89T2 which became a long term restoration project, and I picked up another FD last year at the age of 58.

 

i just got one at 34 and wanted one since i was 14

 

 

First new car was an '81 FB. Purchased an FC Turbo II in '87 and my FD in June of '93 when I thought I was old at 36! During that span of time went from single to married to married with 3 kids. Whole bunch of other cars in between, but just one wife. She's a saint!

 

Boy are we close to the same RX7 life. I bought a used 1980 FB in 1980. A new 1986 FC non-turbo in 1986 and a new 1994 FD Touring in February 1994 at age 35. Three kids later and also a saint of a wife and here I am with my FD waiting for me to install my new engine and otherwise a totally rebuilt car.
