Owners Age Poll 2011

Re: Owners Age Poll 2011

I am in the last group. And, if there were another group AFTER that, I would be in that one!!! Oye!!

Lots of cars over all those years, but none that even approached the pleasure that my BIRD brings. Perhaps, because the BIRD brings a whole new set of friends. None of my previous vehicles came equipped with a whole bunch of new friends.

To quote a certain person I know:
IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE CARS, IT IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM!<

Don't know about you folks...but I get a lot of attention from the younger gals...a lot ! I guess I need a clarification......I thought it was me, but it is my Torch Red '02 with the top down! My wife told me the sad news. Kind of depressing.

Well Tom how old ARE you? And you are right about new friends....they get harder to find as we get older....

Re: Owners Age Poll 2011

Let's just say that I am an octogenarian. That is OLD!
But, thankfully, I keep on having birthdays. And, I keep on enjoying my T Bird.

I will carry a dignitary in my Bird next week in the annual Veteran's Day Parade here in Orlando. It is one of the largest in the country every year. Quite a thrill, and fun to participate in a patriotic event.

Haha - I have a T-Bird older than she is (it just turned 24).

Re: Owners Age Poll 2011

I’ve spoken to a lot of Ford execs, and there are no plans for a new T-bird anytime in the foreseeable future. But Ford won’t let the ‘Thunderbird’ name or brand die. It’s what they call a ‘halo’ or ‘legacy’ car. The 2002-2005 may not have been profitable for Ford, but they will make another one at some point in the future. Though, based on the average age on the poll I don’t think many of us will be around to see it.

Just curious ... how many of you would buy a new Thunderbird now, say if Ford came out with say a 2014-15 model?

Imagine what might be created if Ford ‘outsourced’ the design to an Italian design house like Pinafarina?

Re: Owners Age Poll 2011

Just to be accurate, the correct spelling is ‘Pininfarina,’

I’m a writer, what can I say?

As long as it was a 2-seater, V-8, rear-wheel drive, fine, I probably would. Otherwise, no way. I refuse to drive front-wheel drive vehicles, and despise anything smaller than V-8s. No arguments from the peanut gallery, please...I've got 4 V-8s (Charley can keep his V-6 '89 Bird - I won't even ride in it), and if my Expedition wears out before I do, I'll get a new one. Not likely (I only have 46K on it).

............ and despise anything smaller than V-8s. No arguments from the peanut gallery,...............

I'm not trying to start an argument, but have you ever tried an in - line 6 cylinder? If not you might find they are a great compromise. I actually like them as well as a V8. The problem is that I think BMW is the only Mfg. that is still making a substantial number of them.
