Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars?

Sometimes, you see the most beautiful sports cars but the ancient driver looks like he's trying too hard, to look young! The same applies to the women!! Not a good look!

Should you take your age into consideration when deciding what car to buy?

Re: Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars?

No, I don't think so at all.

If I'd always like that sort of car, I don't see why I should feel obliged to give up the pleasure of owning/driving one, just to appease a total strangers opinion of my image. Blow that!

No, it's mostly that age group who are the only ones who can afford to buy & run them.

It's the older age group who have the extra disposable income to afford such cars, plus years of no claims on insurance, edit just spotted Tiffs post,

I guess we will be required to only wear beige clothing and nothing that looks vaguely 21st century.

People driving powerful cars like mobility scooters is more of a problem, barely doing 30 on a major road is just as dangerous as speeding imo.

I would ride a Penny Farthing (if I had one), not worried what people would think, but old boys driving sports cars is just keeping up appearances ?

Really? What appearances? If I had the money I would be driving a sports car with the hood down.

Re: Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars?

I like to see a handsome bearded, vintage looking gentleman driving a vintage sports car, other than that I don't really notice sports cars or who's driving them.
I know a few men who have Penny Farthings, Dobra, it's the getting on and off that's difficult when older

Re: Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars?

I think it really depends. Most of the people I see on the old timer rallys are older people who have the time the knowledge and the money to keep those sports cars esp the vintage ones running.

The falsh idiots who do doughnuts and drive like maniacs are just fools regardless of age.
