average age of vibe owners....

Post by Abby-vibe03 »

just curious what the average age of vibe owners is..... i thought that the vibe was marketed to the younger generation....... however driving around and seing other vibe owners.. the majority appear to be like 60+... another interesting poll might be male or female.... maybe those who wish can add that on to this thred....

22 will be 23 in Dec.My Vibe means a lot to me, as it's my gift to myself for getting a "real job".I used my first pay cheque as down payment.

I'll be 24 in November. I agree with Abby though; I have seen a lot more older people, especially older women, driving vibes. I'm willing to bet the majority of them are not members here though, so an accurate count would probably be hard to get. I still have yet to see a vibe with a genvibe.com sticker, but I'm keeping an eye out.

I am 27, and my dad (who co-owners my Vibe with me) is 73.Does that screw up your average calculation??Hasn't this topic been covered already? Oh wait, we haven't talked about it in a week, so I guess a new poll needed to be started - so we never forget.

quote:Does that screw up your average calculation?? Well its not exactly like an online poll is an accurate representation of what the average age of a vibe owner is anyway. A lot of older people are not online and a lot of younger people are online. The chances of the online poll being skewed toward a younger age is pretty high, I'd say.

I didn't say all older people were "offline." Besides I was thinking more along the lines of 60+.

Bought my Vibe 2 days after my 33rd birthday (which was on 6-11-03). Is a Vibe to much of a self-birthday present?
