LOL. no! i meant, as far as the government, etc, and i'm assuming the same way these studies rank your status, is that technically, i'm single. but i feels a bit ridiculous saying that when we've been together 4 years. i suppose we're defacto now, but that's still classed as single isn't it.... lol.

[Corey_R]

lol - nah - if you've been defacto for 4 years, and then separated, you'd both have almost the same rights as a married couple if you had the right lawyer!

Hehe...

You can see the pattern Povo-car, power, povo-car, power.

I must be bi-polar (apologies to sufferers)

As for going from WRX to normal Impreza, I got stuck with a $hitty lease deal and rapid depreciation, so I hopped out. I still miss the lil' bastad.

[MariusGT]

I'm fairly sure defacto relationships are very similar in legal terms to a marriage. If not exactly...

And on topic: 30(for 3 more days..)yo, male, married (little one on way) mortgage, barista.

2nd golf.

Wife drives my old 1999 auto 1.6 golf
prev car was a club spec evo wrx wagon...

Went from rocket to lazy cruiser--> now an inbetweeny!!

There are soooooooo many golfs out there, i don't think there is an "average age".

You have rich kids where daddy bought them a R32 or you have middle class people who bought a golf just to drive around, the demographic would be so broad.

VW might show a figure on who bought what, but from my observation in Sydney, alot of young people drive it, i'm doing part time at uni, and golfs, r32s everywhere, and i very much doubt they bought it themselves.

Ummm... add up the ages of all the owners and divide by the number of owners = average age.

Maybe the median age would be more useful
