2009 C63 AMG / 2007 BMW 130i M Sport
2009 C63 and 130i Msport (that's only the aesthetics). Wife drives Audi S3 and my ex e46 M3.
I mean: My wife drives the M3 that belonged to me. I don't have an ex wife. And she wouldn't drive my M3 if I did (maybe she would...)

No offense. I don't think there's anything wrong with his age. Too young to own cars?
In East Asian countries, I'd say most of supercar drivers are under 40 year old. Especially, in China's mainland, there's no surprise supercar clubs members are between 20 to 35 year old. It's just a cultural thing.

My cars are not as impressive as some that have been listed but I’ve always been a big fan of V8 sedans and given that exotics cost a small fortune here, my garage reflects my taste in a way that’s practical for me.
The Aussies on the forum would know what they are, so I’ll add a little detail, pics and some video of the exhaust sounds for those that don’t.

sjhugh, I bought the same 20" HRE Comp93 wheels for my car. Are you running stock suspension? It looks really great!
I want to lower with H&R springs but loweing car is not suitable in Hong Kong.

I agree. I went back to Beijing last year and saw some supercar owners about 30 years old.. why not? I will buy my dream car if I have money....No offense. I don't think there's anything wrong with his age. Too young to own cars?

A very wise man once told me "If you want a million dollars with a classic car, start with two million." I went too agressive with the build (couldnt help myself). The idea was to get the car to cruise and take on drives. I had to fill it up every 50-60 miles, the noise got old after about 15 minutes, and the wife hates her hair smelling like exhaust and gas after short road trips. I have no regrets. I owned the car I always wanted when I was a kid, but then it just got old.

A lotta super wealthy asian parents in Asia. Some ppl are lucky enough to have made it at his age. Who knows? 
My parents bought me this car, so my other methods of transportation are my Pumas.

Dude stop trying to mask your jabs with kindness - you are trying to call the dude out and failing. Guess what, there are young people who earn their own money, have way more money than you, and can afford way better cars than you ever will. Just get over it man, there's always someone smarter, better, faster, richer....fact of life. Hope that helps.
For those who are young and rich, its all good. Everyone gets the short end of the stick some how, at some point. Thats just life. People are blessed in all different ways. No one has it perfect. Just look deeper. Everyone is allowed to make a statement or opinion. Its not considered as a jab.
Hope THAT helps.
