37 and feels like all of my friends are 50+ not many car guys my age. Maybe due to work life balance, maybe due to not growing up around these cars? Who knows?

48 and not aging like wine. I only seem to be getting more broken down and not better as I age but it sure beats the alternative as my dad says(he's 85).

51 and I feel like my 67 gto with all my replacement parts. Parts on all four corners. New hips and two elbow surgeries. But still find a way to get under the car!

I turned 63 last Friday...

It's better to keep having birthdays than the alternative!

My dad sold GM products his whole adult life. Originally for an Olds/Caddy dealership and from 1963 on he sold Buick/Pontiac/GMC.

I still have my dad's 1964 Pontiac Dealer's Sales Manual.

36. I've been coming to this forum & others since 1999 when I was 19 and bought my first Pontiac engine Pontiac. I've even met members of this forum before... 12-13 years ago now. I went from being the youngest person in the room to the next to youngest ;-)

Default Sally O'Mally
I just checked the 40-50 range on the poll because I turn 50 in 2 weeks.
I always think of the 'Sally O'Mally' SNL skit with Molly Shannon and Danny DiVito.

It's a combination of complete unaffordability and not growing up around mechanical tasks like previous generations. This used to be an everyman hobby. You could buy a cool project car, cheap and scower junkyards for treasures. Those days are long gone and have been for 25 years. Cars are typically either complete trash or somewhat restored anymore. Restored cars command a crazy amount of money and we all know trashed cars cost more in the long haul. Most of these guys my age have piles of college debt, ridiculous day care bills and are just trying to make it all month to month. The only reason I have my GTO is because I got it when they were cheap. I love musclecars like no one else but there is 0 chance I go drop $30-40K for a GTO right now. The prices of these cars, that everyone loves to brag about right now, is what will kill the hobby.

52, AND LIKE BOWLING, I have great respect and enjoyment participating with fellas that are in their 70's & 80's.

Gives assurance that staying active is a healthy choice, for keeping original joints, posture, ability to have an occasional beer, avoid blood thinners, and have a forum to compete.

I don't mind doing upgrades, and preventing repairs, it's the danged extra materials & parts laying :noidea" around...
