I'm 68 and NO, my first car wasn't a Model T. If you only want to hear about my performance cars, here's a short list:

1969 Buick GS 400
1970 Porsche 914
2010 Mustang GT Convertible
2015 Mustang GT Coupe

But if you really want to know about all of the performance vehicles I have owned, I will also mention my motorcycles:

1976 Kawasaki 750H Triple (wish I still owned this one)
1980 Suzuki GS1000

So there you have it. You're never too old to enjoy speed.
