On this forum i bet the demographic is something like or greater than 80% (30yrs or older) to 20% (29 or younger).
I would say this is not a financially logical hobby for someone in their 20's and probably not for the average person out side of retirement at least for someone who takes trips frequently. I'm struggling to find a good build up under $3,000 (for what i want). I know i couldn't swing that on my own in my 20's.
I'm 31! bought my first JK at 30, owned my WJ Grand Cherokee for 4 years prior.

Bigapplephx- 70's and you are tech savvy... That's cool. My dad is in his 50's and cannot get the hang of computers let alone forums and what they are for... I don't have a beer in front of me, otherwise I'd have a toast for ya. :-)
