Default GS Owners Age

I saw an interesting thread on the IS-F section where someone wanted to see the age of IS-F drivers and when they bought their car. Well I want to know the same for the GS! I would think most younger people go with the IS/IS-F over GS, but lets see!

I'll start! So my mom bought the GS first for her but always hinted it for me. After my first year in college she handed it down to me and we switched cars(Toyota Landcrusier, also theirs). I was 19 1/2. Yes, I didn't pay for it, but I have been working with my parents at our business for YEEEAAARRSSS. Now with 2 businesses I pretty much take care of them both, along with baby sitting my younger brother. At 21, now 22, they party/gamble and I stay home!

I would like to add how many of you bought it in cash, how many bought it on credit, and how many still owe money on it along with the age. I bet there are some definite correlations to those figures, except for the cases where you guys got free cars.....

My first car was a Ford Taurus which was my mothers and I didn't even get that for free, I had to pay for the book value for it! No silver spoons here...

As for me, I bought the car when I was 29 and paid for it in cash. :P
