Default When you see an.. "older" person driving a tC.

Today on the way to work, I was next to a lady who was probably in her late 50's. Looked like she would be behind the desk at a pediatrics office. Bushy hair and large sunglasses.

Isnt it kinda wierd when you see this? Like.. did they not get the memo that scions are for young people? hehe

when the Celica was around there were also plenty of post menaposal women driving them.

However, any guy who drives around a VW Cabriolet or a Bug is a bonafied homosexual, period.

I dont find it weird at all. Not everyone drives a car to enjoy it. probably over 50% of people just need a way to get to work, the store, and all.

I feel I need to respond on this thread, but don't even know where to begin. When you get OLD, you'll realize that age is mostly in your head. I race road bicycles, go-karts, motorcycles and cars. I don't think I'm too old to be enjoying those things, yet. When I leave some ricer in the dust with my 600hp Z, I don't feel all that old. (by the way, I do realize I'm one of the oldest guys on this forum)

And also dont forget, 75% of the people in the SCCA circuit are over 40. Atleast in the 2 regions I compete in.

I'm 21 and already know this, that's why I've decided to never sell my ATV, it's one of those toys that will keep me young.

I had an article from the NY Times a year or 2 back that had actual numbers, can't find it now but the xB actually had a really high number. I think it was around 50-55 for average age driver of the xB, the tC was 26-32, the second youngest driven vehicle, second to the Honda Element. But this was back in like December of 05, so things are probably a little different.

petegts, i never said there is an age limit to enjoying the automobile, i just think its a little wierd for an older man or woman to drive a car that is totally marketed for teenagers.

Well the tC was the vehicle Scion developed for the youngest crowd, but they didn't design the xB for the old folks. That was just a complete hit and miss lol, still sold 50-60k a year so it was somewhat of a success.

I think it is great that this sport can be diverse for old and young. Think about when you get older. You will want to remain young at heart and still enjoy the things you love. Me I will be tuning cars for the rest of my life because it is what I love to do. I don't think there is an age cut off that tells you when you have to stop because your too old. So for all the older guys and gals out there, I give you mad props! Keep doing what you love and forget about how others may view you!!!!
