Just curious...

...what the age range is, and if I'm the only early thirties guy who bought his midlife crisis car?

42, it took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I'm still not exactly sure, but if I knew at the age of 18 an E55 would be my beater (although a beater I would be very happy about).
