I'm 27 now. Got my first dsm when i was 14 and picked up a wrench for the 1st time when i was 16 to replace a timing belt. Wasn't until i was 20 when i got into modding.

I am 32, I have had several over years. My first DSM was a 1991 Mitsubishi GS-T which I ran a mid-11 second quarter mile with the old 14B back in 2003-2004 didn't think it was that special until I started reading the 14b drag race discussion thread a while back. I don't have the time slips any more but I still own the car which has been passed down to my little brother.
I also owned a 1990 TSI AWD around the same time which was hard on the wallet having both had to sell it with much resistance from the girlfriend as it was her main transportation at the time.
I now own a 1991 Plymouth Laser RS which had a blown head gasket when I got it about a year ago. I am in the process of completely restoring it and will be putting a build thread on here soon.
The Laser is completely lacking any kind of creature comforts and from the looks of it that is how it came from the factory. The door jamb sticker says the weight of the vehicle is 2587 lbs from the factory which I believe is a very light stock DSM.

24 years old got my bone stock 91 awd talon when I was 17, owned it ever sense and will never sale it!

19, currently fixing my 3rd DSM (other two ran when I bought them). It's my first FWD, I doubt I'll hang on to it long due to 1: It's FWD, and 2: I've already had 5 cars, don't hang on to them too long xP

 

[LandoAWD]

Most the people that were 19 when the thread started are now in their 30s so no worries

Do you even math, bro?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Well alot of people in 2004 in this thread were 19... It's 2014.... Thats 10 years they would be 29, or in their 30s........

 

[LandoAWD]

One of these edits will get it.

I stick to my origional quote, sweety ()

 

[Clinical]

Got my first 1g laser when I was 17 from my Mom, needed some brake work to be road worthy. Basically for $300 got me a good first car.

It's all downhill from there, I'm 23 now and this has been my evolution. + like 10 bikes + like 20 other cars.

It's true!

Makes me feel like an old man.

 

[ervin00]

35 feel like 50 unless I am driving my car, then I feel 18.

 

[95gstnate]

I will be 30 in 12 days. Bought my 95 gst as my birthday present to myself last year and brought it back from the dead. Now I have a donor car in the garage that I am taking apart for a awd swap into my gst!

Tuna had retired his dsm. But he was 73 at that time. I'm 22. Had my first@ 19. Or 18.

 

[b00st3d]

36, dsm owner going on 12 years, fixing to roll out my 900+hp toy.

 

[Araesk]

17, Got my first (current GST) dsm about 3 weeks after I turned 17. Feel's weird commenting on a post that's more than half my age.

 

[slickers111]

20. Had 3 DSM's. 2 N/T, 1 4G. Rebuilt the entire car. Took it from non running, barely rolling, to it never wanting to stop going.

 

[WES_393]

Bought my first 3 DSM's at 18. I built my forged bottom end before I could legally drink. In fact, my TSi was the "drunk bus" on my 21st birthday (wife driving).

But alas, at the ripe age of 22 I need something I can fall asleep in while driving to 24/7 Bingo. My VR4 gets the job done, I just wish it had more room for carpooling to Country Buffet.

 

[bucken13]

First dsm at 17. 1995 gsx with a cyclone 6 bolt swap. Rust bucket with a custom orange paint and Brian O'Connor body kit haha . Pretty dam fast but was I was uneducated and broke. Didn't have $$ for dsmlink and the car would intermittently throw p0300 and limp mode. But I hotrodded the %$# out of it blew the trans, fixed it and traded it for a POS 300zx that I had for a week then went to the dark side and had Honda for a few years now back home at 22 with a 1995 tsi awd will post pictures later.

 

[untouchablecc]

I got my first dsm at age 17. I had 2 Ford probes before that and blew one up and traded the other for my 1993 talon dl 1.8l. It was clean 5 speed and had a sunroof. It was that real nice titanium color they came in for 2 years on the 1gb. I really miss that car. I wish I had the same one just awd turbo.

Im 26 now and have a 1996 GSX I DD. I have been through a magnitude of dsms over the years including 1 fully built. I can't seem to get away from the game. Ive played with other platforms and some I consider better but this is the core of what I know and still love these cars. Im not on the EVO band wagon like everyone else either. They are a sweet car and would own one but theres is just something about these that appeal to me more.

Same goes for me, Used to love evo's but now I'm actually more of a fan of wrx's (no hate'n.....) in the regards of 4 door saloons.

I got my first DSM back in 2010 when I was 21, it was a 92 Talon ESI auto. I paid way way to much for it (4k) but it was the cleanest dsm I'd ever seen. Sold it not long after for a huge loss and vowed I'd never come back.......
Year later I found myself looking for another dsm regardless of my tight budget. By 23 I had got a free rusty and beat up 92 tsi awd 5 speed shell. Gone through the whole thing now and she's mostly up and running.
