49, but still feel like 35. Likely spent $10G in upgrades on the car, and have owned it for the past 4 years. Also race a 125cc shifter kart (same as an FD, only smaller), and just bought an 2000 Audi A6 4.2 (300hp!) on Ebay- practically stole the car for $19G! I can only imagine how an RS6 goes- because this sedan cranks!

Big Three Zero this year.. Single (recently ended relatioinship), 3 car habit, ready to switch job in Nov., and house to fix..

Oh.. I just captured a live scorpion in the house.. I recently killed one and I think its mate.. I did hear that they tend to travel in two's... So, if you find a scorpion in your house (This is my fourth one since moving down to good ole Alabama) make sure you look for the second one..

32 last I checked...I stopped counting at 21 cause it did not seem to matter after that.

I have had my FD for 2 months, and have spent about 2K on upgrades.

I'm 18, and I'm a Computer Science student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I just recently purchased my FD, but I've spent at least $400 on it so far, and I've only had it for a few months (~2). Oh yeah, this is my daily driver, too.

I'm one of the 'older' ones in your area at 39 although most of the people I've seen around here that have FD's are much younger. The older ones are around but don't post. Havn't spent anything on the FD the past year or so. Wait, that's not true I did get an R1 oil cooler and lines. Most of my dough goes into my house, savings, new baby, paying off debt, etc. Spent a couple grand here and there when I first got it 3-4 years ago. Engineer/Analyst.
