Age of TR owners

[usetaboost]

I first got my 79 when I was 20. picked it up for 1500 bucks. real clean car. 2 tone grey and black with black interior with the FLUFFY seats, fell asleep on the interstate on long drives alot! Really sad to see it go, really sad. picked up a totally rebuilt turbo for it with wastegate for 225 installed! Instantly fell in love with it. Being dumb I sold it to fix up my camaro, doh! 2 years went by and I couldn't take it anymore. Sold the camaro waited and waited, found exactly what I wanted, cheap junk! Been addicted ever since. Bought my we4 for a 25th birthday present for myself this year. I hope I have as much fun with this one as I did my last.

the heck with it. lets keep the poll going. I bought mine in 1990 when i was 21 from crossroads buick . and i didnt even know that my boss at the time was the original owner of the car and he was best friends with owner of dealer. i could not pass up the sweet deal i got. I have no regrets with this car. cant wait to get it going

Bought my first GN the Christmas of 1987, blessed with an awesome job, got a huge Christmas bonus and paid cash - $17,352. I drove it seven years, 100,000 miles and sold it for $17,000. I bought another 1987 GN after my family lost everything in Katrina - man did God bless me through that hurrciane! By the way, I am 37.

You'll probably find that most TR owners are in the 30 something age bracket since these cars were the new when we were in high school/ college. I can remember sitting in the breakroom of the grocery store I worked at in high school reading some car magazine that had an article about the last GN to roll off of the assembly line and thinking "On day I Will have one of those!" .....15 years later I did!

Ditto to that! I remember picking up a magazine at the local convienent store with a GNX vs. Vette and thinking how cool I would look driving that to school. All these years later now I am breaking my kids in right. Just for the record I am 36.

I am a little over 60, but because of the way the age groups were/are listed, I had to post in the 51-60 catagory in lieu of the 61-70 catagory. And you youngsters thought that dirt was old, huh?

Thank God for you guys who paved the way for us younger guys with all of the go fast parts!

I spent my junior and senior years in high school(90-91) getting to ride around in my best friend's TTA smoking pretty much everyone he came across. In 1995 I bought a 87 t-top gn w/ 59k. He still has the TTA and I still have the gn. I've had the same license plate since 1996-QTRMYL.

[zeus87gn]

The wife and I are both 36. 5 days apart actually.
Loved the GN since I first saw them back in High school and knew right off I couldn't afford it and put them out of my mind.
Wife bought 'Zeus' in 89 (somehow) and I have been hooked on her...I mean Turbo Regals ever since we met in 98.
:biggrin:

When I bought the car new in 87 I was 22, fast forward 20 years, well you can do the math... I sure am glad that I never sold the car.
