I'm cracking up over this, but I want to make sure DSMCentral is relevant.
Over the weekend I had a discussion with an 18 year old member. With the claim of 'No offense' he told someone that DSMCentral was a web site for old guys. Hahaha...Now I would fully expect this as a description of me from an 18 year olds perspective, but I've always been of the impression that the majority of DSMCentral members were quite a bit younger than I. For the whole club to be labled as 'Old Guys' makes me want to re-evaluate our demographic. So let me know what age group you fit in this poll.

 I was going to ask Marcus if that was the age you felt while your working on it or while your driving it. Because mine would be 35 working on it and 16 while I'm driving.  
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!

That's funny, Annie and I were discussing this last night on the drive home from Rob's birthday party. Everyone there seemed to be of the older realm of DSMCentral. It seems that the older crowd has more get-togethers so maybe that attributes to some of it. I personally thought the majority was 21+ (of faithful members anyway).

So youngins aren't interested in checking dsmcentral out because they think we are a bunch of old guys?
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that we just don't put up with all the pointless offtopic bs that the younger crowd seems to relish in on the other car forums. |

So far the poll is showing that most members are between 21-25 like I thought. A lesser amount of us are older like Miami. keep up the good info.

I must be getting old, I was just discussing this poll with the wife. I voted I was 35, she just informed me I'm 36....going on 37 in 3 months. NOW I really hate this thread!
Change the tally if it matters... I guess I'll go take my viagra and run around after the wife..... -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I have a hard time believing I'm 26. Why, it seems like just yesterday I was being shoved into a locker with 18" of tighty-whitey compressed between my cheecks. High school was such fun.....
 And no, Dan, 18" of tighty-whitey is not a reference to you. But it could be.
