I'm a construction cost estimator, so I'm used to crunching #s. This was nice little break from adding up the lineal feet of control joints in the parking lot at the proposed Visitors Quarters building on the Macdill AFB in Tampa.

The point of this whole thread was to satisfy my curiosity & also give me some arguing power with the misses against her whole "how old were those guys on air-ride?" question.

I had told her last night that there are plenty of guys in their 30's who have air-ride! Her response was "& how many are married? have kids?" (we don't have kids, but planning on it in next yr/two). I told her "plenty of them do!!" Sometimes you just can't win.

She's a great wife, but has no understanding of why I love my GTI so much, or why in the hell would I want to drop a large sum of money on something "so useless" as air suspension.

Ill be 30 In December and I bagged my car last year.... I work in a corporate job (banking) where personality is frowned upon

I have a fiance, a house (own), and kids are only a year or two away.... My car is my hobby, passion, and my toy. I could give two ishts about what others think and quite honestly I get a kick out of all the puzzled faces as people pass my car around work (4,000+ employees at my site).

not to be cliche but you only live once... why not enjoy the things that make you happy and you take pride in!

24 but like everyone said your never to old for air. My dad just asked me to bag a 56 Desoto for him. Also I did an air install on this bad boy and you know no teenager is gonna be driving this.

That's my baby behind it

[RILEY UK]

32 and tired of coilovers after many years!

[thepirate]

32, married, with 2 kids.

I justified the airride with "I don't want to break an axle while I'm driving you and the kids around." (at the time I was pulling the axles out of the joints…pretty annoying on a fwd car)

[ericshell]

turned 21 yesterday

my bagged 20th at goodman by e.shell, on Flickr

[carbide01]

25. Bagging my first car in the coming month or so. Have most of the parts stashed.... 65 Mercedes

[-2000VWGOLF1.8T-]

[coneklr]

Im 30, married with 1 kid and another probably coming in a year or so. Two mortgages and a corporate shirt and tie job. Yes when I go to meets most people are 10 years younger than me and yes I get "how the hell do you drive that" from my co-workers constantly. But I love it. I was tired if banging axles and potholes on coils, wanted something comfortable but handled well. So far I love it. My wife loves it also (shes a bit of a car geek herself though). And best of all everytime I air out my 18 month old goes "psshhhhhhhhh" mimicking my car lol.

Also I have custom plates coming in that say NOFSGVN just for this reason

Your name ends in 666 and your post count is 777. Just some silly observation.

How can you afford it

[valkswagen]

I'm 29 with a bagged R, but what makes it is when I roll around with the baby seat in the back at shows. Bags for my daily and static for my MK2 because I don't give a f@ck if I break something on the MK2 because I have atleast 3 spares of everything laying around.

[Seidelly]

Just turned 19

Built, not bought.

[aledelic42]
