SSR Owner Demographics

Marc NY · 01-08-2011, 09:20 AM

Our last age poll was conducted back in 2005 and no surprise that I am now in a new group of senior members who love their SSRs.

Thus I thought it would be interesting once again to see where our SSR members now fall into our latest age poll. We had 814 members who previously voted in our other age poll. If your birthday will be very soon (like me) please use that number...

*My last poll limited our members to showing their ages to 66 years old and older now it is revised to include a lot more members up to 85 and older.

Please participate in our informal age survey.

NOTE: This poll will NOT be used to published your age in any form or given out to any
solicitation company (like ones that want to get you to join their OLD age groups i.e. AARP etc etc...

Wait a minute!

I am almost as old as you are so what does that make me then?

BlueStreak · 01-08-2011, 09:54 AM

I am 12 years old and will never grow up (Peter Pan in my mind)

but I clicked the 61-65 category since I think that is what you are looking for. When you do this again (in 6 years) I will be even closer to the limit of my group.

18 – 25
Are you kidding Me? Anything over 4 cylinders makes it rumble instead of that gorgeous “Blap” I get with my rice burner!
26 – 30
That damn “Blap” was waking the kids so we got a mini-van.
31 – 35
What is it again?
36 – 40
Not interested. After 3 kids and the old man drinking a vat of beer every weekend I’m seeing too many physical resemblances.
41 - 45
Yeesh! Overnight I’m so damn old I might as well be dead! I think l’m gonna buy one of them old folks trucks!
46 – 50
You know, I’m feeling okay, at least I didn’t die like I thought and I’m making tons of money.
Might sell the SSR and buy a new Benz. Then again, it has been a ton of fun. I might just keep it also.
51 – 55
I’m getting my second wind and feeling like a kid again. Gotta get one of them hot rod things!
56 – 60
Freedom 55! At last we can travel without the kids.
61 – 65
Let’s see, what can make me feel like I did in ’62?
A supercharger perhaps, and loud mufflers, and some bling – yeah, that’s the ticket!
66 – 70
Got past Freedom 55 and entered Depends 65 phase of life.
Room for a case back there. That sure as heck wouldn’t fit in the Vette!
71 – 75
Where did we park again dear? I knew we should have bought a !
76 – 80
Let’s call the grandson and see if he will come over and back the SSR out of the garage for us.
I’m feeling like watching the wind blowing through your hair this fine day, as I haven’t got any left.
81 – 85
What is it again?

TrikeRider · 01-08-2011, 03:46 PM

The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake.

The average person over 40 years of age cannot do it!

1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat.
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8. This is fart cat.
9. This is busy cat.
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat.
12. This is seconds cat.

Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down and I
betcha' you cannot resist passing it on..........

YellowDZH · 01-08-2011, 06:19 PM

Look like just OLD GUYS have SSRs.

We are the only ones that can afford them.

NOT older than dirt!

Krazy Ed · 01-08-2011, 09:06 PM

I did your poll....seems I'm in with the crowd. but i fell much younger, until i have to get up.

BlastfromPast · 01-08-2011, 10:12 PM

I "fudged*" it by a few days - at the end of this month I'll be in the 56-60 age group, so I put myself there now instead of waiting to vote.

Blast

*(in this age group I guess I'm lucky I didn't "fudge" my underwear too!)

There's an OF, and then there is a ROF. It's not what you do, it's what you are.

Old Fart, I take exception to that I am a JOF = Jr. Old Fart. lol

MnMsToy · 01-12-2011, 04:04 PM

Its neck and neck between the (56 to 60) and the (61 to 65). Will it be the Old farts or the really Old Farts? lol

105 vote out of 9401 members is not a very good representation of membership so I am not too concerned about whether I am in the majority or not.

JOHN317 · 01-12-2011, 04:14 PM

OK, I gotta know, who's that one guy who's older than me?

That assumes the other 9 in your category are younger than you. Are you sure there are not more than one older?

John, there are many older than you. They just did not answer this poll.

Just trying to figure out if I am in the ROF, RROF, AOF category.

Meg in Carolina · 01-25-2011, 09:40 AM

Okey Dokey I guess I am in the ROF group, but I can still SSR around town and back out of the garage.

jojo c · 01-25-2011, 12:10 PM

Hello ssr fanatics, Im a newbe. I just bought a slingshot 05 with 3miles few months ago and being from conn i have not driven it since the snow came. It looks like 50 to 70 is the age of owners. do they not attract younger folks or just the overhill gang ? I love this site and plan on using more in the spring when i want to start working on my truck. so for now hello everyone. jojo

jojo c · 01-25-2011, 12:13 PM

sorry I meant 3,000 miles on my truck not 3. My fingers are to big for these darn buttons!!
