Haha. I don't mind hosting it as long as you can bring some nice Alberta beef.

But it's going to be a while before this can come anywhere close to planning it. We are still in designing phase working with an architect and just moved onto finer details now even though we have a general sketch of it. Once that's done and getting all the permits we need plus the actual construction.

I think we'd be lucky if the whole thing can wrap in 2026.

68style 01-26-2025 09:47 AM

Well half of RS is so old we might be down a few members by then hahaha

PeanutButter 01-27-2025 11:09 AM

Wait, how old is everyone here? I figured most are under 45 for sure.

I think there's a good third to maybe even a half that are over 45 now. I just turned 49 but like most Asians I'm mistaken for much younger (typically late 30s) - I bet a lot of folks who have met in person have assumed everyone is younger than they actually are.

Harvey Specter 01-27-2025 12:02 PM

I'm 44. When I joined RS I was 22. Insane.

Hondaracer 01-27-2025 12:03 PM

Previously banned on REVSCENE stickers incoming, you know who you are

68style 01-27-2025 01:40 PM

Never been banned, but close to turning 47!

EvoFire 01-27-2025 02:28 PM

I'm turning 38 this year.

Join date 2006, so university.

BIC_BAWS 01-27-2025 03:40 PM

Didn't Donk have a thread that polled exactly this question? Age range and home ownership status.

Great68 01-27-2025 04:13 PM

43. I lurked RS in 1999 when I saw an RS sticker stuck somewhere around Kwantlen Richmond Campus. Saw 68Style's Mustang in the lot one day, then saw him on here and finally joined somewhere in 2002.

Another -0.25% good news for Chinese New Years!

bcuzracecarz 01-29-2025 12:02 PM

35, joined in 2008 on old account, lurked for years.

I’ve many times tried to understand why people need such large houses and can’t figure it out (unless it’s multi generational). Wife, 2 kids, and myself are 1450 sqft, with detached 900sqft garage and don’t think we’d ever need more. Sure I could probably use another room or two for the odd thing but seems like a waste. If guys come over we just end up crowding around car in garage anyways. I’d like to think with a lotto win I would still feel the same way but who knows.

JDMDreams 01-29-2025 01:18 PM

I think you get used to the size. You start with 500 sq, then 1000sq, then 2000sq then 3500sq. 1450 isn't that big, especially if you have growing kids, let a lone dogs. TV room, car parts room, computer room, cigar room.

unit 01-29-2025 01:31 PM

two of us live in a 1300sf rancher, 3br 2ba with 3 pets.
i dont think there's any reason to move to something bigger without kids especially.
just more crap to clean. we have plenty of areas in the house to do our own thing.
i guess having a guest room would be kind of good but not enough reason for me to want to upsize for.

If you expect to live to 85 (average is about 81-82, higher for women) then it's best to defer it till 70.

Ref: https://boomerandecho.com/take-cpp-at-age-60/
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ife_expectancy

You can look at this table to figure out how many more years you might expect to live based on your current age - it says I've got 30 more years left (I'll make it to 80) right now.

You for sure get used to the size. For 2 of us and now 1 doggy, it’s a good size at 3400sqft. I can “retire” into many places of my house and play hide and seek with spy balloon. Although she wired every room with a nest cam so she can just check the Google home app and catch me jerking off in the media room with my VR headset.
