32, married, 3 year old kid... Delivery Management (the IT kind ) in global consulting.

Read a number of the previous posts and I can't lie, I'm pretty surprised that the demographic of owners is a lot younger than I imagined.

I can tell I'm a petrolhead from my childhood. I like everything which is motorized After ownership of several european brands like Skoda, Citroen or Rover I jumped into japanese cars and now I am having 4th Lexus and Nissan 350Z. My wife is having Toyota Auris wagon. I was never into german cars beacuse here in Europe it's like a tampon. Every p--sy has one Last summer I sold my Aprilia RSV4 superbike which was really awesome piece of Italian engeneering. But as I am getting older my blood boiling level is decreasing

I'm also ice-hockey and NFL fan

Anyway if anybode of you would like to come to see this, you are everytime welcomed!
You have a beautiful city! Let me pay off my GS first and I will make the airline arrangements! Also, congratulations on your Japanese stable!

Probably because it's an Internet forum. The oldies aren't too keen on Internet forums. LOL

Most of us are too busy driving around in our fine vehicles, carving up the roads to be interested in these new fangled forum thingies

Or stuck in the garage trying to find a spot to put the key in lol

All one has to do is see all the IT people that posted in this thread, what else have they got to do but frequent forums while they wait for backups to complete

Trust me there are more of us Baby Boomers driving GS's and LS's than this thread would lead you to believe

No kidding. I'm surprised they even OWN cars since the interweb will take them anywhere they want to go. JK, you guys are our future.

What's surprised me the most are the number of IT folks here.

It's probably the skeptic in me, but I honestly figured this place was filled with individuals with careers within the automotive community. Either as a part of a Lexus corporate function (social media, PR, online advertising, etc.) or independently (franchised dealerships sales, tuning shops or aftermarket parts and accessories) that are championing the cars they sell and/or the products and services they offer for our cars. Nothing wrong w/ it just assuming that's what was going on.

Or maybe those people just haven't commented in this thread yet. (Yes, I'm still a skeptic. )

ZbynekZ,

Dude, is that your house? Count me in. I've traveled to almost every continent. Had a chance to go to Czech Republic but passed it up. Now that I know someone there, I'll put CR on my 2015 business trip itinerary.

That is the Prague Castle, so unless he is or is related to the President of the Czech Republic I suggest you book a hotel room.

34 years old married with a 4 month old. Sales guy for a software storage startup. I cant say i am surprised about the backgrounds here. I came from a '11 s4 and the make up is quite similar. I guess we are all in the similar spot of being able to afford toys in this range.
