I recall of shows like that over the years. You go up to random people and ask them general knowledge questions (Not Cash Cab btw) Most do not get the questions right. I weep for the future of MY generation of people.

And sorry for bringing this off topic. Apologizes.

40, married to an older woman (by 8 mos ), kids now old enough to have serious attitude. Oh well- beats the alternative.

Don't people know their history anymore?
To most folks nowadays, D-day = a big event on Wrestlemania (or whatever they're calling it these days)

Back on topic, though: is anybody tracking the demographics and going to show us a cool product? I'm probably not the best person to do that, or I'd volunteer...

54 and a half!

After 35 years of pickup trucks I've seen the light!

Might have something to do with $4.00 gas though, love it!

Lol, both of us are 45 and going on 20 I guess.

Btw, D-day is a day only remembered by folks who, according to my stepdaughter, lived before electricity... so there!

I too would be interested in the results of this informal poll, although from perusing this topic I can tell the majority would fall into the 30-50 year old category.

Just hit 30 in Feb. Still feel like a 25 yr old but that probably won't ever change.

I forget (on purpose)...where is it written again that we have to grow up? I'm not up for that. I mean, really...how many HAPPY "real adults" are out there?

I'm 21, and ordered myself my mini for my 22 birthday coming up on July 17th, I definitely think the present I'm getting myself is going to be my favorite this year

51, unless you subtract the 20 yrs I spent in the Air Force. The MCS really does make me remember the invincible teenage years.
