Partied it up on Valentines Day instead of the 15th. GF and I went to see an 80+ year old crooner in a gigantic casino. Then we paid for poker lessons.

PG, They had an Omaha table going, but I had too much to drink and knew I could barely handle stud. The GF always does well at holdem, but she had the same handicap I was playing with.

Shows your age. When I think of BR, I think of Gator and big block Fords on clay roads circa 1971 (I was a ten year old).

I love the BR avatar.... and who doesn't love Smokey and the Bandit? I have fond memories watching that with my dad. I even bought a FireChicken just like the one in the movies when I was in high school!

Haha! I was just a toddler when those films were popular, but I've always been into the hot rod movies and the hot girls that were in them. LOL

I'm a product of the 80's. Made in 1980 to be exact

Damn, I must say I'm surprised how many people in their teens and very early twenties have M3's. I'd hate to see their insurance rates.

We know it was you or Scorpion that made that account. I'm really surprised at the number of under 25 year olds with E92 M3s.

I got my E46 M3 when I was 23 and I couldn't believe the amount I paid for insurance. It was like paying for two cars.

39, but I should have bought the 01 back then. Instead I bought an S4, just because the dealer wanted 10K over list.

Very much so. I think this is a merged thread, so it is no longer sticking to the title, "Age of people who have PURCHASED their M3." To those 16-24 yr olds who have purchased their M3's on their own, congrats, you must be doing something right.

It's ridiculous isn't it? I almost bought a '96 M3 when I was 22, but the insurance and interest rate were much higher than the new '03 WRX I ended up buying.
