I just realized that I am twice the age of the

average poster here. I met several youngsters from here at Chad's GTG. I found some of them to be Kids having fun. I also found a few, and they know who they are to be wise beyond their years. And as for the old timers here, you guys are the greatest in a disturbed kind of way. Good Night All.

I'd be interested to know that... I'm guessing it's at least 12 years older then I am.

It probably varies from region to region but I think the average age is probably a bit higher then the beer master thinks.

This site seems pretty old to me, at least compared to say a BMW forum.

The average is probably in the 30's somewhere.

That's my guess too.... late 30s. I'd say TDIClub is early 30s. I'm 24.

At 27 I probably fall under the "kids having fun" category ... I'm not sure if I'm wise beyond my years, but I sure am disillusioned beyond my years.

Personally I think there's a great balance of ages and experiences on this forum, and plenty of mutual respect to make the age thing fairly irrelevant.

I'm 23 (which makes the double the age thing accurate ).....but I've been here since I was 18.......and I've had the same car the whole time! (and acquired another)
