mjhpadi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Seems funny how as the age goes up the amount of owners seem to go down...surely this doesn't mean as I age that my interest is fast cars is going to dwindle? Gosh, I hope not. When I lost my love of fast cars, fast women, and scuba diving.....well, it's even too horrible to even think that way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO (1966) only car i ever had where at WOT I could watch speedometer increase and gas gauge go toward MT almost as fast. :RpS_biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double c Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Very cool how you presented those ages the way you did there DoubleC :thumb: It makes it easy to read and understand. Thanks :yo: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Old chemistry teacher coming out in me. Now I see a new post from bobback. 39-doesn't alter the average by more than 0.1 years. Will need some significant outliers (very young/very old) to do that. But just like runs-more data helps. I know there aren't 7000+ 2010 owners showing here. I won't put all their ages in-job for mhenne4. Will try to keep up for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 39 here...haven't really received any grief for driving a Taurus...but when people ask what kind of car that is I simply say' date=' oh, it's a Taurus.............that has 365 hp![/quote'] It's funny I have used the same line and if you are talking to someone who isn't a car guy, it's amazing that the horsepower numbers just mean nothing to them. You could tell them it has 600 wigits and 900 muffler bearings and they would still have no idea what the heck you meant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozensvt Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 33. No grief about driving an old persons car yet, but most my buds know its not your grandpas Taurus. If things get really deep, I'll just break out the gt500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoman04 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 29. i love educating the ignorant about what the SHO does. HA BIGFOOT, This is a old thread but it was a fun one. You are in oldest of the young group me I'm in the youngest of the old group. but we love "educating the ignorant about what the SHO does" :car::bolt::jaw: THE FASTEST TUNE ONLY SHO 12.669sec that's educating.LOL Glade to have you here.

tss Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I know this is a thread revival, but you guys think it's hard educating folks on what an SHO does, at least most folks have heard of an SHO and most have some clue it is a performance vehicle. Like even non car guys/gals know that "SS" means something. Try educating folks about an "MKS Eco". I don't even try. It has no name recognition or heritage like the SHO. Oh yeah, posted it before I think, but I am 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 MKS... MKZ... MKwhat... oh it's a Lincoln! LOL Right, MKT,MKZ,MKS,MKX. Terrible brand managment IMO. I am a car geek with a Lincoln and I really have to think of the right letters when I see an MK/X/Z/S/T on the road.... Navigator - that one is easy..... Seems like Caddy is doing the same with thier ATS/CTS/XTS/SRX ....and Escalade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuelegooding87 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm 25 and in the military. Never get any shit for it.

mhenne4 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well thank you for everything you do sam. As for the education of people, pain and embarrassment are the best teachers. If people start talking garbage I show them a SHO. I get nothing but compliments. I am still getting used to random people always around my car.

My friends dad has a '69 Boss 302 and I was at Summit Point when when a Ford engineer brought one of the GT prototypes for some hot laps before they were released. Love both those cars.
