47 at the moment, purchased when i was 45...I work for an international ISP as an operations engineer.
not a mid life thing, ive got two motorcycles to ease that pain...i just needed a 4wd that i could trust, i didnt want some weaker AWDr, and when the woman to whom i am related by marriage did not want to burden herself with helping me with the car note, i proceeded to buying a 'manly' vehicle that would also be my daily driver.
We get our fair share of snow, and i spend enough time in New England that I have to deal with their snow also. It also is great as the family hauler with our 14 & 8yr olds. Since ive gotten it, i have discovered that i like the off-roading thing...and want more of it. i figure once i stop riding motorcycles (both street and racetrack) I will probably get more into the things this vehicle is made to do.
I had a Jeep, loved it, had a LR Disco Loved/Hated it...now i have my T4R, and am loving it also...
