Default Them dang whippersnappers...

Was looking at the "How old are you?" thread and noticed quite a bit of you are....*ahem* youngin's. A lot of teens, a lot of college age.

Well geeze maneeze!! Who the heck here is over 30?? I'm wondering if I'm just too old to be in this crowd.

Please don't make me go search all the posts in that thread....

Seriously though. It took me years and years and years to be able to afford to buy a car like this. How can they afford them? Okay to be fair, I know some of the parents help out but my goodness! To ever own a Lexus was a far fetched dream!

i'm 21 :P

i feel like this car definitely has an age group. 20-30 maybe who like to still mod their cars but also have that luxury factor. if you're over 40, and driving an IS, its time for an ES lol

i got this car as my first car the day before i turned 17. now im 18. the car is the look i was going for. Everyone thinks its so sporty (especially mine being all blacked out) and yes i know its very lucky of me to have this car but im sure ill still be driving the is when im older as well cause i LOVE it. about how we all afford it, most of us have a semi wealthy to wealthy family. I personally paid 3k and my father paid the rest cause i work for him frequently and i did very well on my junior year of highschool (it was a deal we had). People call me spoiled but w.e im enjoying life

Guys let's not make this a replay of the 'how old are you' thread or we might as well merge it with that one... the OP asked how many over 30 y.o. 2IS owners there are.

There was no 'hate' in any part of this thread until you brought it up. She asked a simple demographic question without any malice towards the younger owners or you in particular... don't take this thread downhill.

Let's keep this on topic please
