old people driving A/c wats up with that

[SuIiCiDaL]

i have a black 2009 coupe and when i am driving i see a couple of coupe (live in the bay area CA) and i wander who is driving and i always see old people driving it and i wonder why they bought sports looking car. has anyone else felt that then u see someone driving it especially a women. (not to be sexist or anything)

[kpodj61240]

hmmmm.......maybe its telling you something......I think you bought and old person/girl car..?? hell my fiancee even wants one. j/p....well IMO if you think about it there really are only 2 sporty/luxery cars that Nissan makes with out going to full sporty (370) or going SUV. The Altima and Maxima.....Maxima's can get pricey

[mmkeller]

dude, how old u taking about? 60+, 70+ ??? Im almost 55 and bought my AC because I fell in love with it. My mind doesn't feel old but my body reminds me from time to time Im not under 40 anymore.

[kpodj61240]

plus there should be no age limit or sex type on good taste.....for example I hate how people claim they are too old for the "import scene" I hope I will never say that....

[Coupeguy23]

I feel like im an outkast when i drive my A/C . there are alot of older ppl thats drive it , but its cool. I know my A/c will start turning heads when i start add more to her

Exactly, I'm 42 and I know a couple of the members on here is older than me.

I've seen two women recently, I would say they are in their 50's driving a 2.5S.

What got my attention was when I saw a 60+ driving a Mercedes C63!

[yoonzilla]

I see no problem with the older folks driving an AC. I actually see it as a compliment. It's hard to find a car both old and young people both like. Oh, and they won't assume your some young punk trying to race everyone on the freeway...they'll just give you a thumbs up

[rjdmmfl1]

In my mind, I equate older with wiser... (but I'm old school like that) .. many older/wiser folks want a reliable car, that looks good, and drives well, for a decent price... younger folks may not be as interested in the reliability but they like the looks... the A/C is a nice mesh of what a lot of people want... it seems intuitive to me that everyone would like the A/C if they like a good all around sporty looking car... its a no brainer!

[johnnir3volution]

Midlife crisis maybe? aha jkSo what if an 18 year old was driving a 07+ BMW?So as you get older does it mean you get an old car?I think anyone at any age should drive what they can and not on what they can not.

[xdarkaznsoul]

I live in Florida and I see numerous old people driving a A/C but I'm the only 3.5 with a spoiler and black, all the rest is no spoiler and 2.5. I just turned 18 so i think I'm the youngest with an Altima coupe in my area.

Also i replaced the 3.5 V6 emblem with an SE-R emblem so i can stick out lol

l

lol what's that suppose to mean? I think it looks better with the SE-R, I don't want people thinking its the same damn altima as any of the others.

a lot of people dont really agree with badging a car something it isnt. its something that usually ricers do...

dudecome out 2 our bay area meet!we had one recently because some people couldn' tmake it out we had only 4 cars but its a start manwe had it in san jose

[downedzephyr]

you're from sunnyvale huh? i'm from san jose and usually i only see like the bleached blonde early thirties ladies driving them around, and that one random dude i saw in a red one. never seen an old person in an a/c though. still, i'm only 20 and i feel really young driving my a/c.

and you should definitely come out to the next meet.

[xdarkaznsoul]

Well

a lot of people dont really agree with badging a car something it isnt. its something that usually ricers do...

i thought of that but my car isn't like any other A/C out there, that's why i put the SE-R. It's definitely faster than other A/C in my area with full bolt ons and custom headers getting developed, so to me it's my version of a SE-R

People put type R on their rsx and its not riced out, it's cause they mod it so heavily and make it pull harder than a type R so therefore its alright for them to put on the type R badge, its just like the SE-R badge

IMO, if it didn't come out of the factory as a Type R or SE-R then it will never be a Type R or SE-R.

On a side note, it seems a lot of recent threads have lead me to use the more. anyone else notice that?

well thats different because they come from the factory with a Type-R badge in Japan. in Japan the Acura RSX is a Honda integra and the Type S is a Type R over there i believe. also, you said all the other coupes in your area are 2.5s and yours is much faster so you wanted a badge to distinguish it? the 3.5SE badge distinguishes it from the 2.5s. i have the fastest altima coupe that i know of (besides the turbo ones) and i still just keep the 3.5se badge... but it's YOUR car and at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is if YOU'RE happy with it.

Type R is not the same as Type S, its completely different. Its a different engine. I'm not the only 3.5 in my area, its just that all of the rest is just stock and old people are driving it. I would just like to be different. I hesitated doing the badging but i decided to go with it and i personally think it looks a lot better and different.
