who's the youngest member?

Hey people!

I just thought it might be interesting to do a little age survey here. So basically, who is the youngest member of this forum?? If you want, we could also look for the oldest member on the forum, but somehow I doubt we will get the same response with that.

How old were you when you got your fist Benz?

I'm 18, and I got my fist Benz at 14.

Anyone else?

I'm ancient, but I feel like I'm about 17 ever since I got into this forum . . .

My brother is 11 and he's a forum member. He likes reading all the nasty jokes. Not really into cars yet but I did get him to commit to a Benz as his first car. I'll get him a 240D

When I was 10 my dad always told me I was getting the 1970 220D, because I was the only person helping him work on it.
I never really thought about it, in till a couple years ago, my dad called and said I am driving the Mercedes to Florida and flying back to Texas.
Now I have 4 Mercedes, just bought a 1972 220D over the weekend.

I am 20. I have ridden around in Benzes since I was conceived.... Had other cars at the same time though.



I got my wagon when I was 17. Got a 400E when I was 15.5.

I was actualy torn between getting a MB or a Jag! Still want a Jag though.

I joined the old MBZ.org diesel list when I was 14. I joined the forum when I was 16 to get tips on how to maintain the 300SD. Got the 300D at 17. I'm 21 now and have racked over 35k mi on the car since then and saved a bit of money on learning how to DIY.
