Default How old are you?

I searched for a thread on this but found no results, close if needed.

So, how old are you? I've read that the average age of Corvette owners is somewhere in the low 30's. Let's see where the range is on these forums!

I am 21 currently.
Will be 22 in one week.
Bought my first Vette at 21.

This is not going to tell you much. I got my first Corvette when I was 26, and I still have one 32 years later.

So, what is my average??

Not sure I get it. Who cares how old Corvette owners are?

What is the average age of Honda owners?
