Just wondering. Whenever I see posts I notice its from pretty young guys so I figured I would do a poll. Im in the 36-45 category myself and my wife has advised me on numerous occasions this is my mid life crisis car.

 

I know there is a general "how old are TL drivers" thread but this is just for Type-S drivers. Being the Type S is more of a performance oriented car and definitely more "racer" like, I am curious of the age group of people who choose them.

 

I’d like to point out; I fall in the 18-25 Range. I am 23 and I am out of school with my Bachelors, not living with my parents. I work full time as a Systems / Network Administrator for a private company in CA.

 

I'm 30, married with baby number 1 due in august. I'm an air traffic controller in Chicago and own a NBP 08 6mt.

*golf clap*

 

and we're all so proud of you

 

Im 20, 05 TL 6spd, Big Brake kit. Anthracite Metallic. Nav Peanut butter leather interior.

 

i fall in the 18-25 range. I'm 21 and work full-time as a manager for a printing company while also going to school full-time for a management degree. The tl-s is the first car i have purchased on my own and definitely don't take it for granted.

 

The demographics have dramatically changed ever since I've been browsing these forums since 2006 or so. TL has become more affordable, so more younger people buy them. Nothing wrong with that though! Many new and cool mods to our TLs have come about as a result. Its nice having a mixture of ages.

 

I agree but this is only for Type S ! We already have a "how old are tl drivers thread" Type S's arent that affordable these days anyway. Look at autotrader, people are asking almost as much as when they were new!

 

I got it because i got tired of my 2010 accord coupe, now I can drive the way I want to I got the Power (HE-MAN voice) lol

 

22, still in school, living on own, working 2 jobs.

i dont fit your poll choices

 

Sorry, I just re-read the title. Missed the Type-S part!

 

22, full time in school as a computer information sciences/systems major, working 2-3 part time jobs.

07 TL-S 5AT, at the end of my pimp my ride shopping spree have parts yet to install

 

I'm 23 and got my 08 TL-S 2 months ago.

 

turning 33 tomorrow leaving for jamaica tonight have no kids and am single.... god i love life lol!

 

No Type-S here, but I don't view it as a mid life crisis car. I'd reserve that label for something more along the lines of a Vette, an M3 or even a classic muscle car one has always lusted after. ('69 Z-28 would be my choice)

 

my pops got a 70 camaro SS 396 thats a mid life crisis haha actually and my moms has an 08 vette same thing!

 

i put 25 - 35 just because im out of school making a living..

 

Voted my age, but I identify more with the 36-45 description. If only you had set 47+ as the mid-life crisis age!

 

yay haha Thought the poll sounded rough. lol at least for the range.

 

32 turning 33 in oct.

 

18 08 WDP tl type S
my 4th car

 

21 living on own in the army!

 

I'm 21 in college as an engineering major. Car was bought with cash so it's fully paid off

 

I'm 26 living on my own, corrections officer and also serving in the Navy Reserve, and in college for criminal justice, no kids, single.

 

I was technically 25 when I got my Type S. Out of school, full time job, just got married and bought house within the past year.

 

42 years old, 2 kids, '07 NBP TL-S, 6 MT, Bunch of mods...

I really love my car, and I'm bordering on that 'mid-life crisis' era... but if I were to really blow my wad on 'mid-life car', it would be a fully restored '59 Corvette.

Unfortunately, the need for practicality (kids and a mortgage) limit me to a 4-door sedan. The Acura is a nice trade-off.

27

 

Damn, I am 33 with 5 kids and a rocky marriage but I do what I want and have wanted this car for a while now. I stopped playing with honda's as project cars to get my S. So I guess this would be my mid-life crisis car.

 

just got my 07 TL type-s yesterday.
31, it was upgrage from my 2000 civic

 

Im 26 married with no kids and it was time to get out of my little kids car (03 si) to a more grown up ride!

 

According to your poll, if you're older than 45, this is your mid-life crisis car???? Really???

Already been there, done that...I got the Type S because it rocks.

 

Im 27, on my 4th car, my second TL, and hopefully not my last. Im hoping for an unreal 5th Gen Type S!!

 

Well Mr. Steven Bell I thought I oldest guy with a TL-S on here but I see it is a tie for now unless somebody can beat 54. I don't know what a mid-life crisis is but I'm sure I will one day. I think I would choose a different car for a mid-life crisis though. For now I just needed something that gets good mileage (100 miles round trip to work everyday) and I can get the kids in that wasn't to boring.

2007 TL-S KBP

 

I'm 24 going to skool and living with my parents. I Think a TL-s Is great for all ages. If you have one and your young it doesn't scream "spoiled brat" cuz its affordable since the new model is out now, its sport luxury, and young ppl love speed. if I saw an old person driving a Type S, I would think "Now that's a cool guy!"

I will say that KBP is a young person's car color cuz it makes the car go to the "boy racer"realm.

 

22.. juz got outa skool.. working as a respiratory therapist. kids my age cant really afford a TL-S.. lol maybe a new civic.. def not a TL-S ..haha

 

36, about to graduate with a BS in Psychology, single, no kids. Picked up my 07 6MT back in January with 112,000 miles for only $15,500.

 

23, purchased when I was 21, working on my Masters of EE, own a business

 

Yeah my dad liked mine after I have been telling him to buy a 3g TL since they came out.

But we trade, he has a 07 mustang gt convertible that he is modding lol.
So I get my sideways fix with his car and he gets his luxery? fix with mine.
