20-30 old? I am 30 and from what I understood that was the target age for A evo owner from the research I did on it. I am at that age where yes abmw is nice but I think I am still to young for one of those but a little to old for say a civic si which I did own. I have had a few cars in 2003 I had a wrx my first fast car and fell in love with power and handeling. My old man is a bmw guy he has had them all a lexus gs 300 mercedes e350 and C230 kompressor he currentley has a 335i and I really like it but I drove it quite a bit to decide between it and a evo x and It felt right for a old 30yr old. I went to nelson ledges to run the track unfortunatley it was rained out and there was a guy in his mid 60's in a red evo 8 that was leaving the track as I was driving up to the track. I would have loved to run against him to see How good he was if he was just a joy rider or if he was talanted and would put up a fight. Anyway sad to say that was the only evo other than myself that I have seen out of five times I went to the track and could not roll with him. So ther you go a mid 60 year old man will not only drive the evo but track it yet so I have much respect for him versus posers that drive their evo just to get starbuks and go back to work and nothing more not even a sunday joyride on nice roads.

Yea like me. I'm 17 and people get real shocked when I roll down my tinted windows and they see a 17 year old. I think anyone can drive anyt car as long as they love the car and know about it

I think that there is a good number of men and women of older stature (past their fifties) that like to drive high performance cars. Where I am located, you'll find older women in new Corvettes, older men working on primarily high HP muscle cars, and a younger crowd driving EVO's and STI's. My father (in his mid - sixties) enjoys driving vehicles that perform well on the street and on the track. Although he enjoys twin turbo Audi's, he would not mind having an EVO as a daily driver.

heh yeah, my father owns several cars that run 12's to high 9's in the 1/4 mile and hes in his fifties. But all the men in my family share the motorhead gene .
