  7. I find it quite odd that in 3 days that 1489 people have looked at this thread and only 485 took the extra 30 seconds to check a box. That means only 1/3 of us actually count.

    Tommy,
    We may have to re-post this with a title like "Take the Age Survey on Page One".

    I'm 34, and I wish I had the income at 18 that I have now- I woulda started building cars like this alot sooner! Great to see so many young guns on this board.
     
  12. I'll turn 39 at the Hunnert Car Pileup. I look like I'm 30, act like I'm 15 and most days I feel like I'm 60. [​IMG]

    ... and I make less money now than when I was 18. [​IMG]

    Good point! You don't have to go through all the pages. Just click on the 1st page and click on your age group. Then you can see how many are in your age group.

    And yes I've checked the progress several times.

  16. Good point about the total hits. I've checked the total several times just to see what a mis-fit I am. L-O-L.

    I'd disagree. Douglas Cupland, who coined that phrase, was born in '61.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He's a tail-end boomer. The baby-boom generation is definitively 1946-1964 when birth rates dropped off dramatically in the USA. Some folks class Gen-Xers as 1965-75, but folks often categorize them as widely as 1961-81 (I'd disagree again).

    Being born in 1966, technically makes me a Gen-Xer I 'spose, but I certainly don't share any of the characteristics of Gen-X as espoused by Coupland.

    You have to separate biological generations from sociological generations...so the arbitrary 20 year generation cycle works sometimes...

    At best, I'm a fringe element of nothing! [​IMG] (Wait, is that apathetic? Maybe I am a Gen-Xer...) [​IMG]

    Got my start in 1956, which demographers consider the mid-point of the boom, even it that's not quite correctly mathmatically.

    Graying beard and feel pretty old, but certainly not as senior as some of the rest of you...

    I'm 27. The reason I'm into classic cars is aesthetics and simplicity. I long for a simpler time. I'm not as much of a hotrodder, because I would build for long mean time between failure before performance. I'm just kinda goofy in that the house is decked out in antiques, I spend my weekends at estate sales. My friends think I'm weird. And as someone above mentioned, I have about half my hair gray. Why? Who knows.. I have had more gray hair than my dad since I was 14.

    I think the reason a lot of people in this age range are 'into' it is because it's cooler than taking the easy way out of buying something late model and hooking up your laptop to it to change the timing. You gotta because the distributor is out of reach on a plastic engine cover on anything new. When you're mid 20's, if you're not a total pantload, the sound of a Honda civic with a fart can muffler SHOULD make your skin crawl...

    Anyway, I'm trying to do my car on the cheap, but if I wanted a cheap fast car, i'd buy something from the 80s. I decided to get a classic car once I finally had my own house. I'm at that age now where all my friends have left college and moved away from me, so the car is somethign to do, since I hang out with zero people in my day to day life.

    I've wanted a classic car since I was a kid. I use to use pop can return money to buy Deals on Wheels and cut out the color classic car photos and tell everyone I'd own an old car someday.

    None of you probably care, but having the old car is just one more personal goal met so I'm glad I did get it. The problem is that it needs a lot of work, and there's always other cheap cars out there tempting me.
