2008 ISF bought december 27th of 2012 just under 11K miles for 38,000 (no financing) from Lexus dealership. Got rid of M3 Sedan.

43, two kids (2 1/2 yrs and 6 mths) son is named Ayrton, married with mortgage. Wife ended up deciding that it would be her daily driver instead of the RX350 .

I am 45 and thanks to my wife wrecking my IS300, i bought my ISF. Thanks honey i am not upset anymore. She is doing good minor bumps and bruises. The 300 held up pretty good after sliding 300+ feet upside down. I do pay for it by myself...... 4 boys..mortgage,cats,dogs,toads,fish. Living the dream!

Just turned 24 last month. bought me a 2010 ISF last December. Wow alot of hate from you older ppl that think us 20 something year olds just have a free ride on a 60k dollar lexus. wheres the love? lol we not all like that..

anyway. Always worked since i was 16 got a job that make pretty decent money when i was 18 and been working there ever sense. got my credit score up, got out all of my debt and work my butt off and took 2 years to qualify for a home loan and another year to process and close a short sale last December becoming a home owner and hell yea im proud of it. right after i clossed the home deal i went straight to the dealer to get my isf.

Single (as in not married) NO KIDS, girl friend, my lil brother, two cats, two dogs, MORTGAGE, and pay my taxes just like everybody else. nothing special i did just worked hard and stayed out of trouble always wanting to better myself and others. in 2 years hopefully getting another home in San jose and later on a lil casa in Puerto Rico. i got goals

SEE we not all free loaders =] i know 40 something year olds still free loads off their folks with kids and all. Dont get mad just cus we doing the same thing you are at half your age its all love. some of us actually listen to our elders and cling to what experiences they had in life so newer genoration can capitalize on thier wisdom.

Turning 20 I've had the car for a bit less than a year now and I'm in love with it.

Turning 17 here

Been weaving money since I was 10 and mom said she would double what ever I had when I was buying a car. Wanted a STI but found a crazy deal on a almost brand new 2008.

I could have guess more than half of the F owners were in the sub 25 age category by the modding I see. Some of it in poor taste and some of it well done.

I'm done with semi heavliy modified cars, I prefer the reliability.

Reliability.... yes, this....

My last car was faster but I was spending too much time ensuring my car would run when I when I woke up the next morning. Hell, I was tuning and flashing the car on a daily basis! I remember when I knew I had issues, it was 4am in a parking lot when I screamed "HELL YES!!" when I figured out the wiring on my 4th set of injectors and scared a couple of people walking by. Then there was the near heat stroke doing a header install in 110F weather.

Married now @33 to a former UVA cheerleader who is finishing up HER PHD while I work at her dads software company as 2nd in command. (I have 3 engineering degrees, 2 in Computer science). Life is good when you marry into the right family. My mom and dad ain't doing bad either.

Giggity!

BTW, you 20 year old with an ISF, I would have been you if there was an ISF when I was in my 20s. No jelly here! Have fun and pull some *****.

I'm 21 and picked up my 2012 MM ISF. Hate or not, I save most of my money I make (from vinyl wrapping and my actual job). And I invest a vast majority of that money, thanks to a couple of biotech and i-banking companies that split stock and recovered, its helping me pay for my MBA and also my car!

Well, I am 74 years old and still driving mine like I stole it. I bought it new in February of 2008. Have multiple track days on it. Was on Texas World Speedway track just last Sunday hitting 140 mph on the front straight.

My Matador Red Metalic has 119,000 miles on it (drive it to work every day) and has never spent an hour in the dealer's service bay except to change the oil and filter. I replace the rotors and brake pads as needed.

My son races Spec Miatas that we build (I build the engines).

I am currently building a LS3 with a 4" stroke (417 cid), 12.5 compression ration, forged steel crank and rods to install in a 2001 BMW 330ci for use as a track car.

I'm glad the love for cars and speed doesn't dwindle down with age. Gotta love the father-son bonding aspect. Much respect to you my friend!
