Default average scooby owner age...

Dont know if this has been on here before, but...

whats the average age of a scooby owner on here. ovbiously there are many, many owners on here and i was wondering if all added up what would be the average age.

i would hazard a guess round the 26-31 age group.

admittedly though im one of the younger classic generation at 22, but maybe one day dreams of a blobeye may become reality...

Classic I'd guess 25-30.

Bug-eye and Blob-eye around 30-35.

I remember that "census" Things were going well until I added my age - the mean instantly shot right up
I think you'll find the average age will be noticably lower than the above, as really cheap, early Scoobs have become affordable by 18 year-olds!

remembering many insurance compainies wont touch them untill they are 21 and over unless they have a sport for instance...

its the age old thing though. buy a car like a scoob for £4k or so, no outgoings to pay as still living with parents etc, spend the rest on insurance (probably another £4k lol) and optimax... ah to have those pre mortgage days again!!

cant complain too much though, having my classic wrx (even if i am labelled a chav for it) makes paying bills a little easier as i have something to keep clean and tidy, be proud of etc.

if the similar thread was up a while ago when probable classic prices were higher i would assume such as yourself the mean age would now have lowered somewhat with the back-to-front burberry cap generation.

Problem is that I have moved from a popular category to a less popular one. You would need to run the whole poll again to get a true representation.

I'm 41 & on my 2nd scoob in 7 years of being on SN
