Just turned 21! Like the OP said everyone my age is busy lifting their trucks..

Every chance I get I like to spite those who question me for owning a MINI by showing them my technology and by hitting turns and making them throwup! Death to all who question the MINI owners!

Funny, I'm 33 and my wife of 10 years says the same exact thing!

I am 33 and my wife is 35, and she is looking at getting a MINI for herself when her Jeep is paid off. I think she is seriously thinking of getting a Countryman.

Another 20-year-old here. I love my MINI more than can be described - it was the second car I ever drove, the car I pretty much learned how to drive on, the car I took my license test in, and I never want to let it go

This thing is awesome. I just hope I don't find myself going from a MINI to a minivan anytime soon.

78 and wondering what it would be like to be 20 again. Actually, when I was 20, I was on a big boat with a bunch of other guys and we were heading for Korea. Yeah, I can still remember a few things.

I was a great grandfather again this week!

60 in a legal definition

50 in physical condition

74 in a medical condition

29 in a reincarnation state

24 in a "if I could do it all over again" state

18 in a sexual frame of mind, body and desire

Age is a physical term.

Life is what you make of it!

This is something an "older friend" once shared with me...

LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY. BUT RATHER TO SLIDE IN SIDEWAYS, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY SCREAMING: WOW, WHAT A RIDE!!!!
