- Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:13 pm #241528 just wanna see if its only in South Africa

there are so many elderly people driving nice cars, not cars like a s class mercedes but im talking about cars that us car lovers would give a tesicle for.
example, in my area alone theres a old man driving a ek vtec in stunning condition and he never drives it hard or takes it into vtec,
theres another lady here driving a clean and standard uno turbo WHY lol
I also see a old couple in a mint bmw 325is still with the original rear window blind visow on i mean really now
Heard of another guy that uses a Jetta vr6 to go shopping with.
I actually asked one retired lady if she would like to sell her H22 prelude anytime soon and her reply was why do all you youngsters want to buy my car and then she asked whats so special about it lol.

i mean this as no disrespect but dam imagine if we could get our hands on those cars haha

So is it the norm around the world or have we got some hip old people in South Africa

anyone else feel my pain?

- Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:05 pm #242194 old ppl get retierment pay outs etc. so they go out and buy a nice car coz its the one time in there life that they can.

the reason these old people in SA have nice clean car that we want is coz thats what they got when they could. they like the power of the car but treat is well.

the scary thing is the way you talk, "ah nice clean car that has never been driven hard". that statement make me think that you dont treat your cars well and you dont keep them clean a sleek.

just me. worse then that is the 19 year old in a DB9 or 24 year old in an R8.... how the f**k do they do that?

i just want half that money and ill be happy.

my gf said she knows of another vr6 and its owned by a old lady that uses it to tow a caravan lol and its mint

- Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:53 am #243430 i actually asked a old guy about this. (but i guess it only applies to older people with kids.)

i asked him why do you think there are so many old people with nice cars?

he responded with, because think about it; when you have kids you have to make them your priority. when they get older and all move out of the house you can actually have the freedom of spending what you want with your money hence all the old folks driving nice vehicles.

not sure if this is true for everyone though.
