22, Lieutenant in the army (yay!), bought the car 4 years ago from an F-16 pilot (incidently) for 17,500 w/some light mods. Now knowing much more than I did (and being several thousand dollars poorer), I have finished undoing his damage and adding some of mine. '93 R1.

Chalk me up as an electrical engineer, I guess. That's what my degree's in, and that's what I'm continuing in grad school now. I was a full time IT support-er, until a month ago. Now I'm "on call" IT support, which means I barely make ends meet now. Thanks for the budget cuts, Arnie! Oh well, it's just the kick in the *** I need to finally put my EE degree to work. I hope I make as much $$$ as I did .

I bought my '95 R2 a year ago w/40kMi. It "costed" ~21k, not including registration, insurance, etc., of course.

 

17, im a trainer at OTB Fitness. I bought my '93 base model for $15,500 with 42k...now has 48k ...

The FD sort-of makes me feel like when I was 17 in the SA.

 

29...the big 30 is just around the corner.

Bought my FD 2 months ago for 14k. It's a red 93 R1 w/95k miles. I've wanted this car since I was in high school, but I always assumed that getting a used one would cost me at least 22k.

Also my 2nd FD. Had my first one back in '97. Sold it and regretted it ever since. So this spring I picked up my '93 VR R1.

 

It's a bit scary to see how many people are on their second FD after a wreck. I know these cars are continuing to get rarer and rarer, but no one seems to have an accurate count of how many are left in the US.
