I just turned 44. I still have my Chevy Z71, bought this as a daily driver since I don't need the truck as much as I used to.

I did lower it, tint the windows, new rims, NST pulley, new amp/speakers, and plan on doing any other mods that can be proven to put a little more pop under my AT's hood, not race style pop, just daily driver pop.

I'll be 40 this year, Wife's 30, When I'm with her crowd (20th and 30th) they treat me as if i'm one of the juniors, probably because I look as young or younger.

If I wanted to feel more mature and was shopping for a liftback, I'd probably be looking into the HRR, PT Cruiser, Jeep Compass/Patriot (which are in the same price range as my loaded 5dr Yaris). But, I like feeling younger and the Yaris reaffirms that image.

If I were a 'cradle robber', which I'm guilty of (wife was 19 when I picked her up), the Yaris would be a good car to be in. But, it'd need a nice DVD system and wheels and other upscale touches to give it a bit of sophistication (like European models).

Just turned 50 and still love the Yaris; especially when I pass by the gas stations where the SUVs are putting in $60-$70 of gas.

I think it's great to see the older generation staying young by doing what they enjoy. No one ever said that just because you are 40s or 50+ that you can only mod/drive the cars from your teen years. Which I can completely respect. I don't mod my cars to look cool, I mod my cars because I enjoy getting my hands dirty and the sense of making it my own. If I can't do that because I'm getting older then whats the point of living!?

Any way, rock on all! I can't wait until I get to be a member of that Demographic and can say that I've fully experienced what life has to offer. It's quickly approaching, thats for sure.
