C-5 Owners Age

Just reading all posts lately and was wondering what the average C-5 owner age is. It seems significantly younger than it used to be.

I have been thinking the same thing. That's what happens as some of the C5 become so affordable to younger drivers. I was 26 when I got my 4 year old 81.
