That’s very true with most RX drivers around here. When I worked at the local dealership, some of the customers were so old that it looked like it hurts to be alive.

A truck-based 4Runner with 20" wheels? Just the thing for that lady's aging back. I hope it hasn't caused her any needless pain or trouble.

Being old, though, is not necessarily a stereotype of RX drivers. In my area they sell quite well to people of almost all driving ages. What it does not sell very well to (even the F-Sport version), for obvious reasons, is to people who want sport-oriented (enthusiast)-type vehicles. They are going to be looking at an IS or a GS.

Stereotypes are only fun when they are about other people, but when we stereotype "old people," we are stereotyping are future selves. I'm a fit and active 64-year-old and I would like to take this opportunity to tell all the youngins out there...get ready for a world of pain! No joke.

Nothing wrong with poking fun at oneself once in a while. In this world dominated by overly PC and entitled millennials, it is good that we can still crack "un-PC" jokes once in a while. Most millennials would have ran crying to the HR office or their mothers if they read this thread.
