I'm 44

I bought my first new car in 2004, an Acura RSX Type-S. It is still my daily driver, 20 years later. It's still fun to drive. The G87 will have big shoes to fill in a couple of weeks.

35, and would say it’s my first “nice” car. Planning to enjoy it for quite a while

lol i match you on two of these- VA WRX at 23 (i think mine might have technically been a 17) and 30 for my G87. and i am thinking of consolidating some other metal into an NSX soon, unless the wife makes me put a pool in first

Keep going brother!

LOL， then what’s your next ? 911?

I did the same inquiry on Z4 owners, who are literally the oldest sports car owners out there. One thing that also surprised me was M3 owners are on average (and median) younger than M2 owners.

I wonder with the C8 if the average age of vette owners will go down. I am not surprised that their age is up there as older model vettes seem to be driven by retired guys on a perfect Subday afternoon lol.

After I get a daily, hopefully a GT4. But I'm not trading one car for another anymore, it would be in addition to the M2. I'm going to have this car for a long time.

What about you?

GT4 is out of production.

I called that my quarter life crisis and bought a 2013 e93 at the time. Man, that was a great car! Good thing too because got married a couple years later and one, two, three kids and eventually in 2018 (and then 2023) got back into an M3. Enjoy the crisis!!

Was initially going to make a modest upgrade from the 135i to the 235i, but when I started hearing rumors about the G87 and watched YouTube videos of the prototypes, I knew it would be worth it to hold out.

A modest house here in the Bay Area goes for $1.5M and interest rates are cost prohibitive, so F it, might as well just buy a new car to keep me busy while I save for the house!


16 - Jeep Grand Cherokee (rolled it after 6 months)
16 - Ford Crown Victoria - Police Interceptor
17 - Honda Civic
19 - Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Yamaha R6 (totaled the R6)
20 - BMW 135i (still in the garage)
28 - BMW M2 (first new car)

Too funny!
19 - Ninja 500 and Yamaha FZR 600 (totaled) back in ‘90

Some of you guys must have buku bucks lol. I only make about $200k/yr. Buying a Porsche brand new just isn't in the cards for me until I double my income, and even then, I have no purchase history so I'll never get an allocation for a GT car. I'll have to buy one used.

We are thinking about this but the 2017s are still 120+

Wow, 20 yrs and going!! I also bought a new 04 RSX Type-S. My first 6spd car. That was a fun little car! Traded in my 01 prelude for it (first car).

Must be nice. I don't even make close to that.

Guys, stop comparing incomes. You need to be a millionaire in net worth to buy a $200k 911 unless you make $500k and have significant equity potential.

Be happy with yourself and enjoy your M car. It's for the masses and/or those of us with other priorities.

[Mark_17]

33 and mine should be here by the end of the year.

This will be my first new car.

My last vacation was two years ago on Wednesday. I work 60-80 hours a week. I take investors calls 7 days a week from 9am until as late at 8PM. Super high stress environment.

Trust me when I say I earn every penny.

For context, in 2020 I made $38k. Took a huge risk, completely changed careers, and I did really well in my current field. I nearly tipled my income in 2021 and almost doubled it the next. This year I'll beat last year, but not by any kind of multiple.

Started my first business this year as well. Add that to the mix and I really work almost 24/7. I don't think I make enough for the amount of work I do haha.

Hopefully in Q1 I can finally take a vacation again.

My vote is for discord. vBulletin is so antiquated.

The 992 really is enormous, makes up for lack of porportions elsewhere and accommodates the ego quite nicely
