Should I be considered a 1st timer again? It's been over 5 years since I was last on.

I've had my 2007 R56 S for 10 years now. In the first two years I put 48k miles on it. Slowed way down since then, just a measly 164k on it now. As far as upgrades, I put a K&N AI on it about 2 years ago. Then two months ago I got it flashed. Added a Forge IC yesterday. Still too hot here to really "feel" the effects of the tune/IC combo. But waiting for it!!
