Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Tucson, Arizona Posts: 254 | Autopia Demographic? I've always wondered about how old fellow Autopians are. So how about it? How old are you, and when did you first start to get into detailing? Feel free to provide a story about what got you interested in detailing or whatever else you want. As for me, I just turned 22 a last month, and I don't remember how I found Autopia, but I downloaded DavidB's eBook way back when I first registered and saw all the great looking pics of detailing people have done on here and have been hooked ever since. I did have a long hiatus from here from a while, but I still like the idea and hobby of detailing. I haven't really started going pro and haven't even got a DA yet, but I'm working on that. The poll only let me put in 8 options, so I figured multiples of about 10 would work? | |

What really got me started was a sub-forum for detailing on one of the car forums that I went on. Once I found Autopia.. whole different level of knowledge. | |

I'm approaching 64 and find this work keeps me with the gearhead folks, nice cars, and good old exercise. This is especially important as I'm diabetic and exercise and diet can really help keep blood sugars near normal.
Finally, I'm still a kid at heart!....just ask any of my grand children!
