The only time I ever left it up when parking was on accident. I must have accidentally hit the button when I was making out with a woman in a parking lot. When we came back to the car a few hours later, I laughed when I saw the spoiler at full attention. Glad to know that my GTS has XY chromosomes.

At STG's suggestion I updated the first post to include a link to the first post of several that inspired the age bias nature of the poll, but here is again for convenience: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9829...l#post14074799
So here's today's summary with 135 votes as of 9:45PM CDT on April Fools Day (but no fooling here!). A small but visible age bias is starting to emerge!
Also FYI, in the younger age group there are 25 votes total, the middle group has 78 total, and wizened elders have 31. An interesting demographic survey itself.
(Hmmm... maybe I should have skewed the age ranges a little to make myself a wizened elder... but I'll be there soon enough).
I'll update again only if the vote totals or distribution change significantly.
I'm curious why at the first cutoff, the even number (40) is included in the lower range, but at the second cutoff (60) it's in the older group. Of course it doesn't matter for the science because multiples of 10 are only interesting to us because our counting system is based on our 10 fingers and doesn't matter for the results... just an interesting cutoff choice to me.

I'm impressed you noticed and thought about it! Cool. I agree it is a bit odd.
The boring story for anyone that is curious and since Dewinator asked is: I started with the ranges as 0-39,40-59,60-99. As I was preparing to submit it, I thought the 39 in the first range just felt like it was too low and might not have many voters, plus some might think it odd to start the first range with a non-round number like 39. So I bumped it to 45 to make a larger group in the bottom range. But then I recalled that your original post in the Jrod's thread used the age of 40, so I thought I'd better drop it to a nice round 40 to match better with that (even though your post had said "under 40"). Then I realized I should ideally bump the upper range too, but thought that starting the upper range at a nice clean 60 felt better than 61 despite creating a 19 year group in the middle. Gah! So rather than just keep overthinking how to handle the narrow middle range and it possibly hitting too many voters, I thought "the hell with it" and submitted it that way... it'll be close enough and no one will notice. Busted.
