    I always tell my wife the older I get the better the toys i get to play with, which is promptly followed by an eye roll but she supports my hobbies.

    I'm 38. I've been into VW's since I was in junior high. Don't see myself stopping as long as I'm alive.

    55.

    I've lowered EVERY vehicle I've owned/had access to.

    Including my parents' ML430.

    I look at it like this. You have little control of most going on, when you work for someone else. BUT, when you climb in your air ride?

    YOU are the only one determining how low YOU go (AND WHEN).

    I'm 16.

    I'm not even old enough to have a license, but hey, who cares, my Dad is 42 and considers the car his even though I bought it.

    Once you go bags, you never go back...
