age
I'd like to raise the average. I'm 67. I can't decide what I enjoy most, driving the 79 or flying a lovingly restored Cessna 120. Those of us in the late 60s are sure lucky to be still playing and having so much fun.

I'm 41, so I guess that means my personal average age is 20.5. When I bought my '71 my average age was only 14.5.

Im 28, finally got my vette a few months ago, shortly after turning 28.
My lady (the vette) is 33. Had to chase one older than me... figured she could teach me a few tricks
She has great curves
Ive wanted a stingray since I was about 8 or so. I remember riding in my parents suburban, and I saw one slowly creep by us on the highway, and my brain was fried ever since then. My goal was to buy one when I turned 25, but life got me a little side-tracked.

We are 70. Bought the 70 new, now has 26k on it. In as good of shape as I am. Bought a 65 black coupe new, the 2nd owner totaled it in a roll over, nothing left of it. Raising the average age here. cheerzzzz

25... but I feel prematurely aged by the pains of restoring my `75.
(It's all been worth it though)
