I was 50 when I had my first 8, will probably be around 60 when I get my next...

53, but acting like 35, and regressing further into childhood with every passing year. First wanted an '8 in '98 (you all know why…), spent a decade trying to find the right one, and will be keeping it for another 10 years at least...

I was in my forties when I bought mine, but as of March I'm now 50 (but frankly I celebrate the anniversary of my 21st each year instead)

I was 31 when I bought my first D2, only 3 years after getting my licence. And my instructor warned me against getting a big car

I'm my 2nd S8. The D3 often delights and occasionally terrifies me. Which I guess shows that despite 59 years I'm still an idiot
