When you see some old 85 or 90 year old,old man or old women driving around in a new 5gen. se....99.99% of them don't even have a clue what kinda performance automobile they got ...They probably just liked the features and thought it looked cool.....

Yeah, it sucks that old people drive cool cars. Where I work, there are 3 Boxters in the parking lot. Two of those I know are owned by some pretty old people....what a waste.

It's a dilemma.....When you are young, you don't have the money.....when you are old, you have the money (but are still old) ......Oh well, I guess I would still rather be young than have money and be really old....

Just remember, they deserve the cars they drive. They worked their whole life to get the vette or porsch or even a max. It bothers me even worse when I see some 70 year old guy driving around a sh*tbox. When I'm 70 I wan't to be pushing a lambo or ferrari.

if the workers are driving stuff like that then there must be some excellent pay behind it to....are you excellently paid?....driving a Maxima..............this is why the import market is low for us because we don't have enough "young" Max drivers to fix them up too many "old" people have them....

they have a name for what you feel

Envy! *lol* A lot of older folks bought the Maxima when the rebates peaked at $2500. It did catch my eye when elderly bought the SE. I think the GLE would be more their cup of tea. Nissan ought to get with it and offer a delete option on the spoiler--looks like they're outta style now, kinda like you have to design the aerodynamic rear into the car as opposed to tacking something on.

But as far as your point where the driver doesn't know what they've got for performance? How about any of the big Lexus (yo the average age on the LS is well in the high 50's and older)? Dang they've been bangin under 6.5 0-60 and 149 top speed for 10 years!!!

Well, the office building in which I work has a few other companies in addition to mine. I know what most of my coworkers drive and it's nothing extraordinary. So I can't really say how much the people who own those cars make. All I know is that they are much older than me

i saw a mid 40s or low 50s year old woman driving a white type r (a real one, not badged). but what was cool about her is that she knew what she was driving. i told her that she had a nice car and we started talking (both of us was pumping gas in our cars) and she said that she has street raced a few people in it before. atleast she drives and enjoys it like a sports car should be. i hate it when people buy sports cars and drive slow in the fast lane....that DRIVES ME CRAZZZY! grrr
