Thought it might be fun to see the average age of the contributors on this forum.

Hmm, I think this post could really stir up a hornets nest. I can't wait

I know I'm one of the youngins on here at 26, but I know there are a few that are a few younger than me. I'm guessing there will be fewer of us "kids" cuz we have less (or no) real income.

Jon, I had the same thought. When I attend local car shows I seem to be one of the few young guys and I just turned 30.

Big 5 0 on my last bd. I find being older much better than the alternative.

I agree with Tim. I'd rather be 51 than the alternative

How come those of us approaching geezerdom are all lumped together. I just made it into the 56+ group. Just 7 years older than my 54.

I was wondering why the groups were lumped together as they were too, I mean I'm stuck in the group with all the 30+'ers. I mean my hairline may already be starting to recede a bit, but I'm not THAT old yet. hehe, think I'll go hide out in the garage now before I get beat with a cane.
