25 now...Active-duty Navy, stationed in San Diego, Cali...but my hometown is Georgia. :]
Had my first RX-7 when I was 17. It was an '88 Turbo II with pretty much a full S5 conversion, inside and out. Fantastic car. Shouldn't have sold it.
On my 3rd FD now. The first one was an expensive "lesson learned" that I wasn't ready for one.
Currently having the 'finishing touches' done to my 2JZ-GE NA-T swap in my FD. Once it's up and running, my next steps are to install my Shine Auto "Burnout" Widebody fenders, throw on some bigger wheels, and then spruce it up bit by bit.

I'm 26. I'm lead engineer at a fabrication/engineering shop right now, but I have some R&D engineering experience (engine companies and F1), and I would like to get back into it, especially if I can find a spot on another F1 or Lemans team.
I spend around $11k a year on various cars/ bikes, but I don't know how much goes where.

I'm 18 (19 in a couple months). I bought my black '93 a month after I turned 15. If there's a "Youngest FD owner award", I think may have won it. I wanted a fun project car/daily driver. I pulled the engine shortly after (fixing leaks, replacing clutch, ect.) Other than blown coolant seals last year, it's been a loyal daily driver since I got my license.
I'm currently studying Computer Engineering at Utah Valley University.

I'm 31 and work as a Rockwell Automation MCC Product Manager for an electrical distributor.
I have had the car for about 10 years now. Definitely wrenched on it more than I have driven it.
Purchased car with about 75K on it and it now has 96K. Too many mods, hours, and dollars to think of lol
Just recently finised up a rebuilt, added a PT6266, ID2000's, NGK WB, Datalogit, Aeromotive Stealth, etc, etc
Got a set of Tein Flex to slap on.
Working on Pre-Turbo WI and tuning

31 years old.... USAF Staff Seargent. Married with 2 kids. My wife is extremely cool.
10 Rx7's throughout the years. I could never afford an FD until later in life. I played with plent of FB & FC's. I'm actually surprised of the amount of youth in the FD section.
Currently own my two favorite, though I have a special place in my heart for turbo Fb's.
FD has about $25k in it. Definitely growing soon as I prep for more power and paint.

I know I'm not the oldest but looking at this thread I sure feel old.....56 in may of this year.
Still tracking my 7 and will do so till the oxygen runs out or every day above ground is a good day.
The 7 is my project for when I retire, if ever.

Definately a 'senior citizen' in this group at 53.
I've spent a bunch on the car, but if you think about it per year, $2-3k a year is not bad. Just don't don't do the math when you figure out I've had the car a dozen years or so, and it's still worth about what I paid for it.
And, yeah, I still keep up with all ages at the autocross!

I'm 16. I got my FD for my fourteenth birthday. It was a really good deal so my dad just bought it and drove it every now and then until I could drive it. It is true that every damn thing on this car is breaking, but I dont ever want to get rid of it. I love this car. I know I don't deserve this car, but I'm grateful for it. This was a great car for me to learn to drive in because it's not too powerful and is a real drivers' car.
I'm 26 and I’ve got a degree in automotive engineering and currently working in the type approval department of a well known worldwide automotive supplier in Austria, currently helping out at a big OEM in Munich. 
I loved the FD since I was 16. First car was a fb with 16. With 17 I’ve got a fc3s s4tii as a daily with many mods and drove it till I was 22. Now it’s completely stripped, seam welded and waits for a full cage and a 20B NA or 13B REW. Also owned a fc3s s4na as a winterbit** to terrorize the Alps every time I could
I’ve owned several BMW’s to get some seat time at the track (E36 M3, E36 328i with a TON of mods, E36 coupe with swapped m60b40 (4l v8) for drifting, e30 touring with m50 for drifting and so on…)
Finally owning a fd3s since 5months… driven only 180km and put it in storage… currently there are about 10k+ USD in parts waiting to get onto the car when I go back to Austria at first of April. Build thread will come
