I'm almost 20, but you can never be too young or too old for cool toys.![]()

So, currently I'm saving my pennies towards a good air-ride system, making progress. I lurk on these forums just about everyday. Hoping to go air this summer.
Last night I'm riding to my place in New Orleans & pass an MKV (red) & MKVI (grey) that both looked like they were on air. Looked fantastic & I never see bagged dubs riding around NOLA, I think they were probably passing through town.
I get home & tell my wife about how awesome they were & I can't wait to get my setup. Then she asks "and how old did they look?" Pretty much insinuating that I'm too old for air-ride...
I'm 35 now, I've wanted a lowered car for years, but never really had the cash for til now. I'm guessing most you guys are in your 20's, but was just curious how old most of you are?
Thanks!![]()

31, and if anything, air ride is the more mature option when lowering your car. Who wants to be in their mid-30's with a scraped up car that you can't take anywhere you want?

25 here. I've always had lowered cars for six years, but the bull**** of being static just gets old. I work 7 days a week and don't have the time anymore to deal with changing pans, etc.
This is my first car (mk4) on air, and I'm loving it. I got a set of airlift performance series for a price I couldn't say no to, and I'm not regretting it at all.

27 and like everyone else mentioned I just got sick of the lowered car bull**** but I'm still in love with the look. I consider playing with my car (or modding) a hobby albeit a pricey one and don't really care if people make comments like "aren't you going to grow out of that?" I can think of way worse things a lot of people spend there money on. DO IT!!!

I agree with you, cars are investments, and so are the mods and parts you put into them. I don't think one could ever get bored with air, but hey if you do, or if you get bored with your car in general at least you can part it and get most if not all of your money back.
Pretty sweet hobby if you ask me![]()

27 here just dropped car off yesterday to get air installed. really good deal too. first air car all static before. cant wait.

24 here. Doesn't matter the age, it depends on your attitude and knowledge. i have found numerous people older than me who don't know a darn thing about airride even though their car is bagged, and many young people who know the in's and out's of the systems almost as well as myself.

Installing air on Saturday- I'll be 29 on sat. Cool cars aren't just for youngsters- What would she rather you do, sell the car and buy a minivan?
