Age poll - for those who own a MB only

i've heard that the average age of a MB owner in the US is something like 64..????!!

i wanted to see if the crowd here is younger than that. please participate in the poll only if you own a MB.

sorry if this was done before, i'm new here.

I think you can ask the mods to make this a real poll, which would tally the results for you.

Since you apparently a golfer, I'll respond to the query 34. Have owned 3 benzes (currently own one) and am looking for #4.

edit: the poll thingy didn't show up until after i typed this

18 years old. Enjoying my first car, which is more car than my Dad has ever owned (he now wants one). Now I want to get a wagon for camping and long road trips. Oh well, can hardly afford insurance on this one.

That is probably the average the those who purchase new. This past summer I was at Shaver Imports. A coulpe was just picking up their 2007 S-Class. This couple was so elderly (I mean in the context of their ability to move) that I questioned if they should be per mitted to drive. They at least made the left turn out of Shaver Imports onto the very busy four lane road. Watching them make that manuver was a bit disturbing.

I have tried to look at other makes, but it is not working very well. Honda will likely have a good shot at me when they introduce their diesels in the US.

Is that really your cell phone number listed? I'm tempted to call it just to see who the hell you are.

Maybe I should start a thread along these lines: "Who wants to talk to Kamil over the phone" LOL

Im 17, one of the younger forum members and MB owners.

Adam (aka rg2098 on this forum) Is 17 now also.

I think there are a couple here a year younger than us.

Definitely less than 10 (active that I know of anyway) <18 year old MB owners on this forum.

You guys remember you statistics classes? That distribution looks just like the T distribution. Kind of interesting but it makes sense....there aren't going to be that many old people because they're all dead and there aren't going to be many young people since they don't traditionally drive diesels.
