How old is everyone???

[cason1]

If someone has done this already I'm sorry, I must have missed it. I'm not trying to make anyone mad or anything, just tryin to figure an average age for the owners on this site. If you don't want anyone to know thats fine. I just want an estimate so next time someone says that these are "old peoples" cars I can correct them with a little more accurate figure. I will start. I am 20 yrs old.

P.S. If this thread dies immediately I will be very disappointed since we have over 3000 members on here. :D

Check the archives there is a topic on this I think it might have been pro, or Desert Stallion not sure but it's there.

Happy Birthday Dereck, mine is in a week also. I'm 26, barely older than my first car, LOL!

If my calculations are correct, I think my taste in cars, music, design, architecture puts me right around 46 years of age however.

[Conti94]

WOW! :eek: Lot of birthday's. Happy Birthday to everyone who has a birthday this month. best wishes :D

[cason1]

As of now the average age is 32 yrs old.
A wonderful happy b-day to everyone having them this month. Now penman, I have to see this purple towncar. I wish mine was purple so bad i had to put purple neons under it. And MichaelVIILSC/SE, Why do you have to talk about penman's car like that. The hillbillies that make up most of Nashville would never imagine painting a car purple. Especially a Towncar. :D Just kiddin, but I would like to see some pics of this purple TC is you have any/can get any. Keep on posting away people and ladies, don't worry about your age cause this is a ??scientific?? study but if you don't want to give an exact age if you could just put something like 30's or 20's, just something I can use. Thanks again for all the posts so far. smile.gif

[Michael VII LSC/SE]

Since there have been changes to the English language via the educational system and regional differences I feel I must clarify. Plus this is an excuse to raise my post tally!
Purple has got to be a beautiful color on Pennman's TC. I too would like to see pics. The autograph question references the showmanship of Nashville's Grand Ole Oprey. ;) And yes, while purple is a beautiful color, I've too have heard it said "It takes a man to drive a Purple car"

On a cloud covered night, lit by the right lighting, my own car is sometimes purple. :D tongue.gif

P.S. Like the miles, care and/or modifications on our cars, age is irrelevant. Now Education, disciplines and careers can be insightful.
;)

I have been cagey about my exact age since I was exposed to an article on charting BioRhythms. Especially after I found the article again, years later and charted my rhythms for that past, specific life-changing event.
:rolleyes:

That taught me to keep everything in top condition and tune so that when that event jumps out in front of you, your tires, suspension, brakes, and tune are in top form to avoid the obstacle and be available to assist those less fortunate. ;)

Hey Michael, I wasn't trying to start anything with you, more a jab at Nashville by me. I started this cause I overheard several people talking about how much money my Grandparents had cause there were 2 Towncars in the driveway. One is mine and one is my dad's. My Grandmother drives a Mercury Mystique cause she likes the small size of it as opposed to the Towncars. Sorry if you took it as a shot at you. That's not how it was meant. Good day to everyone and keep em coming.

i turned 40(ugh) last summer,this was not a good b-day. i would have been happy just forgetting about it!! my wife is 35 and i have 4 kids , ages 14,11,10,8. never a dull moment at our house!
my fisrt lincoln ,a 1975 triple black towncar, when i was 20. since then ,1 1977 versialles(honest), several mark vii's,a couple of continentals and a lot of town cars. i think i've always had at least one lincoln around. once the kids started appearing in volume i had to get responsible and get rid of the 2 door cars. soon once the kids are a little older we can return to the 2 door cars(maybe a corvette or mustang gt???). i guess 40 isn't so bad- just think 50 is closing fast!!!!! not good.

Michael VII LSC/SE ---

You made mention of a purple TC and Nashville earlier -- Let me relate a good Purple Lincoln story -- in 1957 I was 17 and at the brand new Plaza Movie theatre here in Memphis on a Friday night with my date -- we were leaving around 11:30 p.m. when up pulled a beautiful brand new 57 Purple Lincoln Premier hardtop. Inside was Elvis and some of his buddies. Immediately a herd of young girls surrounded the car, going nuts (must have been a couple of hundred, almost like they new he was coming), began rocking and beating on the windows. One girl pulled out her lip stick and started writing on the car - quickly almost all the girls pulled their sticks out and in short time you could not tell what color the car was and all the windows were covered up. The manager of the theatre ran out with some ushers and got Elvis and his buddies out of the car anf husseled him into the building. Back then, Elvis would rent movie theatres, amusement parks, ect. after hours because he never could go out in public. He screwed up that night getting there too early. What a sight!!

I'm really kinda surprised at the number of us youngin's on board who are under 21. Well, I will be for another 2 months, but still...

I think there would probably be even more of us youngsters with Lincolns if they only knew how roomy the backseat was, and how many positions you could assume in it. :D

Seriously though, it's sorta gratifying that there's this group of younger owners here who, for the most part, want to make the car better in terms of performance and overall Lincolnesque appearance and feeling, and not putting fart-can mufflers on Honduhs with bling-bling stickers and neon lights. (no offense to the Lincoln owner who has lights on his car)

Hey all, we are now at an average of 41.66 so Dereck you are no longer the average on here. DS, I take no offense to your comment about neon lights. Some people don't like them and some do. I can't change that so I don't worry about it. It is all about what you like and I like the way the neons look on my car. Now I agree with you about the fart cans though. That is just stupid IMO. You are right about these back seats too. Especially if you move the front seats up all the way. You could have a threesome in the backseat. Name many other cars that can make that claim. :D

Alright, alright. I guess I can disclose my backseat info. That night my girlfriend and I had a huge fight. We called and made up. A few hours later she called and said she was in the garage at my work. I went downstairs and she wanted to REALLY makeup. I called back upstairs and said I was going to lunch. Found a nice quiet park and began making up when Metro Nashvilles finest pulled up along side of us. The only reason he didn't take us both in was the cause I told him I was on my lunch break at a nearby hospital and was wearing my hopital scrubs. Yes I changed them and took a shower before going back to work. He wrote us both a citation and I now have a misdemeanor on my record cause of it. You all asked so now you know.


The age is now at a whopping 40.75

I don't think it's illegal to actually make out in the back of a car, just to make-out while in a public place. If you're in your garage making out in your car, I don't think the cops would bother you too much. :D

I think DS is right. But even in a public place about 99% of cops will only have several more come by and laugh at you then let you off with a warning. This guy was just an asshole. Oh well.

I'm 44. I do hope someone sends this informal survey to the Lincoln Divison at Ford. The Town Car is a world-clas vehicle. If my wife hadn't bought the neighbor's Town Car, I'd would have made terrible mistake when I replaced my Plymouth Acclaim.

I think most of us on this board have had some incident involving nudity and someone's catching glare. Years ago, I was on the phone in my towel and was standing outside on my balcony. The towel unravelled and the rest is obvious. One of my, now former, neighbours saw a bit of me. I think he was jealous ;) . Not one of my shining moments but one I look back at with a laugh :D .

[Desert Stallion]

Can't say I've ever bared all to the world, intentionally or not, but I do have this way of being there when others get exposed.

I remember one time just as I got to this party to pick up my rather drunk friends an upstairs neighbor came out onto the balcony, in her towel, to ask when things were winding down.

I was glad she did. Made the 20 mile drive worthwhile. :D

Cason, you must not have been doing a good job if it was only a misdemeanor! Yes, I'm a dirty old man - here goes the average...I'm 67. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional....................... :D :D :D

[OneWayStreet]

I'm a family man at 42!

I also lead a double life as I have two other project cars that are not Ford products!

[lsc-ya]

Nobody gives me a hard time about driving a Lincoln. At work all the valet parkers geek out over driving the LSC-SE. So it can't be an old man's car. I'm a young 43 this year.

[SIXTIESJOHN]

Hey Lee Joffe - God knows am I glad to know there is someone older than me here - I'm 64 with the mind of a 35 -- "Its always the mind hollering "come on body"!!!!

[cason1]

Hey pro, I get what you are sayin now. It would have been fine but it really added a lot of stress to the relationship for about a week. I bought a house and we really got to make up. I went Sunday and did the whole booking thing and got my court date. Hopefully I get a cool judge that just laughs and throws it out. My new house has a garage that is actually big enough for my car. If I pull the license plate holder on the front up to the wall the door will close about an inch from the back bumper. :D

[Conti94]

My God this has got to be the most posts ever on a single thread. :eek:
Hey Desert I hear you I'm the youngest too soon 18 and have friends who are 20 or 21 I am the designated driver. :rolleyes:
As most of you know Lincolns aren't the most gas friendly automobiles so they have to pay me for gas. If they do ya know hurl they are paying double the amount and I don't care how drunk there cleaning the car. :mad: :D

[dave d]

i'm glad i'm not the only one with non ford products in the fleet!!!

Im 21 . . . . 2 TC's so far, I went to a catholic high school, brand new camaros and mustangs everywhere, and out pops a 89 tc light blue metallic dark blue cloth with dark tint. Ooooh boy make the richin's run. Although they thought twice about their new mustang when i gave them a ride to lunch, now what!! Sorry repressed memories.

If so he is 17.

Well Steve, I would say that is a good one to count. As long as he likes the car he is driving and it is a Lincoln, that's all that matters.

My neighbor owns a nice black 88 MarkVII but he doesn't even have a computer and usually asks me questions which I answer with information from the forum. Does he count? He's 35. :D

Regularity is a noun. Regularly is the adverb tense of regular. It's not compatible with regularity.

And having regularity is good. Immodium doesn't stop regularity, it stops diarrhea which is way past regularity.

I really have nothing better to do than comment on the Grammar police's errors. Maybe retraining is necessary? ;) :D

[JoshMcMadMac]

There was training? Oh boy, better figure that one out before someone starts asking questions... ;)

[Nick]

I guess the grammar posse wants in on this grammar huddle. I don't quite see how Josh's use was wrong. My view is that because relularly and regularity were in separate sentences, the way Josh used the words was grammatically correct, however referring to regularly with regularity in the same sentence would have been questionable due to what SilverCobra stated before. How else could it have been expressed?

[86er]

21 years young. that should bring the average age down about .2 or so ;)

[LincolnLogs]

I'm 37 from Memphis. I bought my first Mark (a white w/ tan leather '88) when I was 23 y.o. (1989) It was one of my favorite cars and the best car I had ever owned. It was never in the shop for anything, and drove the dog crap out of it. I knew one day I would have another, so here I am.

[Silver Cobra]

quote:My view is that because relularly and regularity were in separate sentences,

Not really since relularly isn't a word :rolleyes: ;) . Nick if you want in on the huddle you gotta spell 100% correctly. I'm sure regularly and regularity aren't the same but it doesn't matter. All I know is that it's important to be regular. Timing is critical each day.

[cason1]

The average has now been dropped down to 34.746
Here's a better breakdown of ages that I have recieved so far.

Sweet! I'm in the majority category. Now who would have thought that? The young'uns are riding around in the Lincolns which destroys all stereotypes. I love it and thanks John for keeping track on this wild thread :D .

[Capt. Zilog]

Lincolns are the ultimate badass car. They can be fast, cool, and still keep the cops away. Anyone who doesn't recognize this doesn't deserve the clue-in.

[cason1]

Thank you everyone for the compliments on my work. I figured since I am getting paid to work, work I would. Of course the strange looks from my co-workers as to why I was writing down all these #'s was pretty good too. :D I have been meaning to break it down by age this way for a while now and finally got it done.

[Matthew]

I guess I haven't answered this one yet. I couldn't find my post anyway...

I'm 28 years old and got my '96 just after my 27th birthday. I've put 41,000 miles on it and it'll be about 50,000 at the two year mark late this July. Running well at 133,000.

[JoshMcMadMac]

Nice Matthew. Chalk up another one for the 20-29 year-olds! :D

[Matthew]

Although to be fair we do have to say that these numbers are skewed to include only those people who have the time and skills necessary to hang out online talking about their cars. No offense to anyone, but that includes a lot more people in their 20's than people in their 70's.

[pepsi2185]

Now that a few of my buddies went to jail im glad there are other people than me with enough time (and interest in a car that is a little less common as a conversation piece) to talk with me over. :D

Cheer guys!!! smile.gif

[SIXTIESJOHN]

Hey - think I'm going over to the old folks home and help set some of these little old ladies that own some of those slick shiny Towncars as new LOL members. It will definitely help the count on the 60's, 70's, 80's and possibly a few 90's. Here comes the "Huh Huh Huh, what die you say group"!! ;)

[cason1]

Point well taken Matthew. That is why I asked for the average age of the people on here. Those that are on here at least had some way to access the site. I know there are many, many people out there that drive Lincolns that aren't registered on here or don't even have computers. This is a very active site of people with mostly common goals. To make our Lincolns run better, look better, and surprise the hell out of a few ricers at the track. I know I can't afford to go out and buy a $40k-$60k car but many that are older than me can. The 40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond. Since most of the people in that age group buy them new with warranties they don't find much use for this site since they don't work on them theirselves. I basically just wanted to find out roughly what ages of Lincaholics I consider to be my Internet Family.
I also know that a lot of folks don't get on here very often to respond to threads like this and that is one reason I am happy people keep adding to it and keeping it near the top.
Thanks for putting up with my rambling and I will shut up now. :D

[Michael VII LSC/SE]

Well Cason, everyone drives a used car. :D
So, what do you want and what do you want to spend?

You learn that most cars are a "QUOTE" "New and Improved Version". And such is sales. A profit to someone else and then the initial depreciation and you have a car worth about 1/2 of what it listed for. :eek:
So with some time, effort, mad money and Maintenance budget, you can drive more for less if you are smart and lucky. That is, to find a Mark VII.

:cool:

Oh, and I hope I don't stop this thread. But, How old is a 27 year old that has been in a coma for 8 years when he wakes up?

It ain't the miles, but the roads traveled.

I mention this forum to every customer that passes thru the door. I know of two that have or will be here in the next few days. They will easily rise the age bar a few notches, they are both well into retirement.
I also mentioned our happy home to some college students but I think the smartest things they did was buy a Lincoln and learn to tie their shoes.

Simply put. Lincolns depreciate like a bad mutha. And since they can be picked up for great prices yet still have the luxury and performance then why not? Not all younguns of course will follow this philosophy, just the smart ones :D . I came so close to buying a Caddy STS but the skyrocketing maintainence prices turned me to Lincoln which are easier to work on.

To any lurkers: Buy a used Lincoln. You'll be really glad you did smile.gif .

[cason1]

I too have but never got caught. I can even one up that. I did it in the drivers seat of my old '91 Dodge Daytona on more than one occasion. Now that is cramped.

I am glad this thread didn't completely die when the post wh0ring thread came to town. I have actually had 4 or 5 people come on here and put down their age and I appreciate it. If anyone is left,keep em comin.

[Jon90LSC]

My ex-fiancee had an early 90's Daytona. The passenger and rear seats are cramped too....

[cason1]

Then you should at least have an idea of how "tight" a situation I was in with that car. Mine would fly when it ran but stayed parked most of the time I owned it cause of misc. problems here and there combined with the fact that factory or aftermarket either one is completely dead as far as replacement parts are concerned.

[Nick]

I think our average age is so young because the legions of typical Lincoln buyers have little experience surfing the net and finding this site. Furthermore, they probably don't have the inclination to climb under the car or lean in precarious positions under their hoods or their dashboards. I am considering sending a note or calling this guy in town to let him know about this board. He seems to have traded in or sold his old LSC for a white one. This is his third LSC by my count. :D Yes, I really do track who drives what. I always say be careful if you attempt any criminal acts involving a vehicle when I am around. I know I can at least identify the car's make, model, color, and possibly anything unique about it. ;) I really track fox Lincolns, though...

[cason1]

Yeah nick I believe the same thing about why the age is staying so low but that is what I wanted to know. The average age of the members on here, not the average age of a new Lincoln buyer. I may be mistaken since it has been so long ago and I don't feel like reading the whole thread again but I think I made a comment similar to yours on the same topic after a misunderstanding.

[alm]

Just read the whole string. I'm 57, 97 lsc, 01 TC, 98 bmw z3 for the kids (who want my gold reverso watch and my lsc when I die). The sample is obviously flawed, but I think you can say you are getting a pretty good anaylsis of the site demographics. The young guys will probably buy new when the time comes, and that should interest FOMOCO. I'm not buying new becasue there is no new lsc.

Performance seems to be what drives the site, as near as I can tell (that is not a back seat performance comment). Nice to know I'm not the only one who wants the lsc to live. I've had a lot of cars, but I find the lsc more useable at my age than the 98 vette I had. It's not just the getting in and out thing, it's the not-get-a-ticket, big enough trunk, back seat when you need it (yea, I know). My 29 year old borrows the lsc, and so does my 27 year old. Do they count? My 21 year old borrows it for dates, even when the z3 is available. I'll leave the statistical analysis to you. Interesting string.
