Poll... How old are you?

Someone in another thread asked about EM demographics. I had no idea. So let's find out with this unscientific poll!

The Guzzler - '08 Elantra GL
90 day: 33.75 mpg (US)

The Green Machine - '00 A4 Jetta TDI
I wonder if we'll get different results than the cmpg pool. I somehow have the intuition the average age will be higher here.

I was going to bet on younger, Martin.

I did this same poll @ GasSavers when I used to hang out there, and it was skewed younger than CMPG. I figured that people interested (or at least active) in modding tend to be younger.

We'll see...

which Age

I'm 52 calendar years old. I feel 30, act like I'm 21, and Dr Oz at Live Life to the Youngest with RealAge says I'm 38.

Good to see so many of the under 30 crowd represented.

I am 35, but I honestly thought this forum would be more of 30 - 60. Nice work guys, great displays of age!

30s myself. So far looks younger than CleanMPG with a higher bias towards the 20 block

Come on man... give me hope that future generations are learning... do kill my optimism.
