Right now over 20% of Americans are over 60 and in 20 years that number will be 30%. You all will be there one day so treat the older folks with a little extra patience. I believe the American Manufacturers have GREAT products and I would like to see at least one manufacturer design and build a true old pharts car with simple to use controls and a 90 MPH speedometer with large numbers Also most of those under 21 can't afford a new call but are most vocal about what type of car should be produced.and they drive whatever beater they can afford. And most others spouting off about the kink of car that should be produced, can't afford what they think we all need. I wear a funney little cap now and I have 50 years of driving behind me and have yet to be involved in an accident. PNTCONT JUST REMEMBER !!

I'm 55, drive a Lincoln Mark VIII and a Buick LaCrosse. I like their "electronic whiz-bangs and doodads," their power, and their handling. I like to drive, and I don't lollygag around on the road. Want to be safer? Try adhering to the rules of the road. Remember those? One of them is "slower traffic keep right." If someone pulls up behind you, basic math suggests you're going slower - move over and get the fuck out of my way. Hmm. I’m 55, drive a Lincoln Mark VIII and a Buick LaCrosse. I like their

We should know the kind of car is most often driven by older drivers, not the percentage of make/models owned by older drivers. In other words, it seems to me that more Buicks are driven by older drivers (with or without hats, including females), no matter what percentage of each make/model is sold to them. The largest total number of a make/model on the road seems to me to be the most significant factor. As someone commented, the rich old drivers who buy new Townies and DeVilles are less worrisome than the more numerous ones who have kept their cars for twenty years and driving around after having skipped their meds because they are too cheap and broke. I am a 62-year old motorcyclist who watches out for every car on the road. If a car is more than ten years old and has been regularly washed and waxed, it's probably being driven by a man wearing a hat or a woman with a perm, neither of whom has changed their eyeglass prescriptions in the past year. By the way, I am equally leery of every 18-year old wearing a baseball cap and shades, driving a pickup truck as old as they are, and that has been accessorized to monster-truck standards. If I were to believe one comment, there are drivers under 5 getting killed, but I don't trust those data, either. These data seem invalid.
