23 when I got it, 25 now. Go to meets and you'll find people your age or near it. What does it matter, we all seem to be young at heart!

You paid off your car in less than a year when you were 16? Do you sell crack?

BAH! I don't even have any successors yet and my time is almost up. Maybe I can convince my insurance that I need a lower rate and my boss that I need more pay for my limited time remaining...

I got my first MINI on my 21st birthday. Traded for my second one when I was 21. I'm still 21.

$100 a month for insurance, yay for never getting any accidents or tickets and taking driver's ed and a defensive driving class and being a good student (who should be doing what good students do right now.)

Though I have passed numerous times for being older than you, I think I'm quite possibly the youngest at 19 (was 18 when I got the MINI)
