I have been working for my dad since I was 12 years old. I'm a part time plumber. I didn't have enought to pay for my cat so my dad loaned me the money and he takes a payment out when ever I work (like on saturdays, holidays, and all summer) he will normally not take anything out unless it's above a $50 check, so I have an advantage. But on the other hand he has only given me 2 raises in the 4 years I have worked for him. One was he had to( minumim wage went up) and another when a few memebers of the crew I work on went and asked him to give me a raise cause of how hard I work. So, I'm no spoiled brate if anyone thinks that.

 

I think about everyone but Andy has shattered my hypothesis.

 

Howdy Boner,
I'm 33yrs. old and bought my 98 ac 454 because of the features, not the price. Just paid it off and receaved the pink yesterday. Best dawm quad made.

Hey, wait a second there Boner, I'm 24, so I think I fit into your theory, though it seems us younger guys are loosing out to all the "old farts" around here! Heh Heh Heh! Actually, I think it's pretty cool to see such a huge variation in the age bracket here, I too wondered about that, though never thought about asking, good one.

Now that I'm back up in Pullman for school, again, I'm kind of the "old fart" up here. Being on average, about 3 years older than the seniors who are graduating this year, it makes it kind of difficult to find a woman. Not that there's a shortage, by any means, just that every time you turn around, seems you find out they're all at around 5 years younger or so, kind of makes it tough, if you know what I mean.

As for the reasons I bought the 'Cat, well, it just fit me better than the rest. That, and it was different, not everybody and their dog owns one, and they're just a damn good machine. Price was lower than everything else I was looking at, and my dealer is great. Couldn't have made a better decision.

Just thought I'd squeeze one more in for your hypothesis,

Ok so there are 4 people that are in the bracket I thought would be the most popular.

2 people within 5 years of my estimate and the rest are all between 38 and 63 years of age.

Hey, looks like I should do popularity poles for the government.

 

I'm 36 and an AC is in my opinion, one of the best buys you can get pound for pound.

 

Well I have money saved up from working for my dad, he is a Carpenter. I will be getting a job soon at a place called Canadian Tire, you Canadian's will know hat store I'm talking about.

 

I'm 46 and all the same reasons apply.Had my 98 since it was new. I have Cat snowmobiles and a good dealer.

 

ATV_MAN:
Best of luck with the upcoming purchase, sounds like you're already on the right track with the job lineup, good luck to you!

Hope to hear you're riding a new 'Cat sometime in the near future,

Mike

 

I have a question for you AC owners....What is a good price for a used '98 or '99 AC 400 4x4???(average price) 'cause I think I'll start looking for one of those.
