I am mostly just curious. Or, maybe I just forgot!

Anyone remember this?

I'm 46 and your going to have to burry me in the vette, because one day I am going to get in it, but won't be able to get out. Now I know why my brother bought a C5.

53 for me, but that doesn't count all the years that lead up to it. What if your heart was into it as a teenager? What if family and career came first but you never lost that longing? And how about those few final years that I spent "shopping" for something close to perfect for me? I don't doubt it's a process for most of us.

That's pretty cool -- you guys that are the same age as your vette. Those that got their first vetttes in their teens -- lucky son-of-a-guns

My '76 was brand new the year I graduated HS. It took me 30 years to get it. 49 years young here. I have loved every minute (almost - it did catch fire that one time and oh yes, the reckless driving ticket was a bummer) of working on it. Much to do on it the next 49 years
