Young People and Exotics

I'm only 26 X 2 Plus 1 and my wife says I act like a kid when I drive my F-Car, does that count?

 

Joe, you are kidding right....no way you could pass for that age! I think you must have found a fountain of youth!

 

Chris, Now I know why I like you; I wish I was kidding.

 

I am almost 61.... but I feel and act like I am 30. It took a while to gather a small group of nice cars, but I am lovin them all.

Actually it does not matter how old in years, it is how you feel in the head!!!!

 

well said

 

I see a lot of younger people around here driving really hot cars. I wouldn't say most of them are twentysomethings, but definitely a lot who are mid-thirties or less

 

If you're counting Matchbox, I had exotics before hitting double digits. To me, they were mine and I drove them.

I bought an XK-E when I was 22.

 

I'm right there with you Joe although my wife says I act childish all the time. It's a state of mind!

 

Or doesn't want to work for the government idiots again...

 

The 348 had some developmental issues at first, but they've been sorted out now.

It's one of my favorite vintage Ferraris...great car.

Limited production sports cars that you do not see on a daily , weekly or monthly basis iie Porsche 911


bought a 53 morgan when i was 22. it was a "HAND BUILT SPORTS" car back in 53 but exotic.... i dont think so.... now maybe if i painted it candy apple green!!!! ok maybe not.

 

I consider Morgans to be exotic cars. They only make a handful of them every year...by hand. Morgan's are also pure sports cars built for beauty and "performance" (relatively speaking) in keeping with the Morgan tradition. What I love about Morgan is that they have remained true to their vision. Their cars are unapologetically British and eccentric (they still use balsa wood for goodness sake!).

Some people assign Exotic only to anything Italian that is lime green and extroverted. I don't subscribe to that theory. There are far fewer Morgan's built every year then Yellow Gallardos

Personally, I would be more interested in getting a ride in a Morgan Plus 8 then a new Lambo.

Just my .02

 

I'm 27 with the Diablo

 

If Forty is the "new" 30 and Thirty is the "new" 20....Does that mean I am.....

 

Yes it does!!

 

Very true!!!!!!!

 

thanks Lash agreed .
