I'm 50, and my shark turned 30 on August 10th! Still feel like I did in my early 30's, except I'm a lot fatter and a little thinner on top.

Got my first vette a 70 when I was 24. Now I'm 5 years older than my 71 LS5. Wish I was only as old as my 85 though.

Got my first Vette at 17, a Steel Cities Gray '72.

After all these years I can still remember the song playing on the radio driving it home. SuperTramp "Take the long way home"
