im 26, got my fd when i was 17-18 iirc. i currently work in IT at a large government defense contractor, but i'm going to school in computer science to switch over to programming. ive probably spent about $9k on my fd since i got it, so probably just over a grand per year (includes one engine and turbo kit rebuild)

Just turned 50, Information Technology Director. Bought my '93 R1 in 2002 with 36K on the odo, bone stock. I am now (finally) planning on spending a few thousand on her.

I'm 20. Part time student and work full time in a parts store. I got my FD last year and have since dumped about $6k into it. I also have an FC that I've had since I was 15. I have about $18k in it. It's my barely street legal drift car

46, but does it count that I bought my FC when I was 23...LOL! Yeah, kept her all these years, always wanted an FD when they first came out, but just couldn't justify the expense at the time when my FC was still in great shape. Barely see FC's around here anymore and FD's are virtually extinct in New England!

47, got my 93 FD new. Build date 6/92 so it just turned 20! 68K miles so far. Probably spent about $6G on it so far. Need to get it to Speed1 to fix some oil leaks, new clutch/seals/bearings etc.

I'm 26, got married last year, baby on the way. I gave been planning to buy an FD since I was younger, but only now does it seem feasible; now I'll actually have money, once I get my career underway.

29, Traveling sales for a manufacturer of Floor Grinding and Polishig equipment. Ive owned a couple FDs and ran a small rotary business for a while. Bought my first fd 10 years ago last month. It was love then and still is now. Funny how what I thought was the "perfect" fd was at age 19 compared to what I think is the "perfect" FD now is two total extreme differents.
