Really enjoyed scanning through this thread. Makes me smile seeing the broad range of ages and cars.

For me I'm 42 and lucky enough to have a 2010 Miami GT-E as my daily driver and a GT-F for the weekends.

The better half has a 370Z roadster as her weekend cruiser (I drive it, she enjoys posing with the wind in her hair) and a JK Wrangler as our household hack.

Where I live I think you have to be 20 to drive anything with a turbo.
I am 46 and have an XC Fairmont GXL. Old Greek man's car according to one former girlfriend.

Me, I'm now 47. Daily was an AU Fairmont on gas until the brakes decided to take a holiday today (topped up reservoir to get me home until I can find the leak), and it's also sprung an oil leak somewhere.....

So, that leaves me with the 2011 FG GTE, and the 2011 Territory Diesel....
