They make more money then you did when you were a kid?

Its sad to see the cost of evo's coming down the age grp gets lower and lower... but I guess I'll need someone to sell my evo to when I'm done

Hey OP

Life doesnt end at 40. The poll should have included segments above that level

Seriously. I'm 24 and work 45+ hours a week plus college and I still don't have the money some of these kids do. The only thing that makes me feel better about how much I dish out for my car is the fact that I've wanted it forever. But seeing all that money leave my bank account a month breaks my heart for a couple minutes.

Was 28 when I bought my 1st one, 37 now. Hard to believe I've been DDing an Evo for almost 10 years.

I'm actually not surprised most of the drivers are between 21-25y/o.. I can believe it's been more than 6 years since the first day I bought my Evo (bought it when I was 21)
