Default The better question would be...

Maybe you should have asked, "How many of you C4 owners are retired males?" However, I must answer yes to your first question and yes to my second question. I am not angry though.

Dude! You must be politically correct and not insult here... Instead of Ricers, say "Small Asian Cars With An Upgraded After Market Coffee Can For A Muffler"

Actually it would have been an interesting and non-insulting post if it had simply been a poll asking ownership by age group.
ie:
under 20
20 to 30
etc,
with why you chose a C4 as a sub heading in the poll,such as:

like the looks
what I could afford
maintainability
handling etc

In California, most C6s and newer I see are driven by men 60 and older.

That's true here as well.. The C6 and 7 crowd are almost exclusively older. Most of the C5 guys too, actually.

It's not money, as I see young professionals in a variety of expensive rides.. Maybe the fact that the Vette is a two seater, and therefore almost a luxury purchase or something for people who's kids have left the nest?

Hmmm, since I am in fact >>>35, perhaps on this Forum I am a "minority"...
