WHOOPEE! Heading to school (Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA) and couldn't believe it.....saw a black coupe with a college age guy in it! He was checking out my blue baby cruisin by and I was checking his out as well.....I think he was surprised to see another coupe on campus, I know I was!.....so if you are out there, holla back PLEASE! Ive seen two coupes in Spokane so far and both were driven by little old ladies with bouffant hairdos going through mid-life crisis!

Don't think they would be interested in talkin mods and getting together for meets and/or shows.......course, I could be wrong!

Of all the people I see with coupes around here, I know of only ONE 3.5 other than mine (and he's one of my fraternity bros and bought his right after I bought mine). The only others I see around here are 2.5s driven by 40s and up women. lol

I'm fortunate enough not to see too many old people in coupes in my area, only the sedans. I know of a few coupes on my campus (community college -_-) but I don't know who owns them...yet.

ya I hear you guys, there is probably a total of 12 coupes in my town (20k people).

I'd say about 50% are 16-18 yr. old girls

25% are women between 30-40

25% men of any age

Ive only seen 3 coupes besides mine that actally had mods besides wheels.

A few of them had some sort of grille, of course the dealer installed g35 wing (doesnt count) and a few debaged but thats about the extent of the modding i've seen. Glad mine is different

Ive seen plenty of coupes, in my area most are completely stock white with young asian girls driving.I've seen a few old ladies in red altima coupes.

The other day I saw a dark slate 3.5 behind me leaving Stator Bros. I turned out and watched him as he followed. Turned out to be a middle aged man with an old lady sitting shotty, but he gave the thumbs up nonetheless and I did as well

hahahaYa the first old lady I saw I weaved through traffic and everything to try and catch up to the person (didn't know if it was guy/girl or old/young) My friend was following me in his Toyota Tacoma (pre runner ready) and couldn't keep up with me. Come to find out it was a little old lady with super white hair who seemed like she was going to crash if she looked over to me or tried to give me a thumbs up hahaha

When I was looking at cars, there was a middle age chic that came to my work driving a 2.5 AC and actually talked me into getting the 3.5 instead of the Accord. I'm so happy I listened to her and test drove the AC =P

Ive only seen one other besides hers and mine and that was some hottie girl that looked about my age (25).

All I ever see is 2.5s here in Dallas it seems. I do see 3.5s but it's more rare, I'd say the ratio is something like 80% to 20%. As for age/gender, it's pretty even there, although haven't seen anyone over 40s, I saw a white coupe 3.5 with a hot girl in it but we were going opposite directions.

I think if you fall in the older person category (lol) then the requirement is that you be good-looking while driving your A/C!

Well IM over 50 and I am decding between an 08 Infiniti G37 and a new Altima 3.5SL.....and here I thought I was avoiding the whole " mid life crisis thing by NOT buying a Vette!! LOL

Well at least my life is not in crisis but 50 is hardly mid life (unless one plans to live to 100.....) The new "mid life is 34 years old given the avg span of males being 78 nowadays.......
