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.

There's alot of members in their 20's. Where are you guys, because the only people in South Florida that own C3's are all much older then I.

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.
