My son bought his Vette last year at the age of 18. Funny thing is that when we are driving it around, the majority of other people driving Vettes will wave to us when we pass each other on the highway. I have always experienced that on a motorcycle but never in a car.

Interesting thread. I'm 34 and that's not "old" by any measure but as stated before, age is relative. I started in the radio business when I was 13 so I was hanging around people in their 40's and 50's. Within a few years I saw that older crowd as my peers, not my elders.
By my late teens I was drivng vettes and hanging out with older vette owners. I still had my little group of small town high school buddies to drink, smoke dope and chase skirts with but I hung with the old dudes just as much.
After attending some interesting shrine conventions, etc. I found the old guys partied harder than my friends that were my age. Now at 34, I feel more comfortable in a crowd of 50 and 60 year olds than my own age group. We have more in common.
I go to the beach and hit the **** clubs for good music and a laid back atmosphere. A can't hang with a lot of friends that are my age. Immaturity, dumb financial decisions, club hopping, and trying to dress and act like they are 21 tears my nerves up.
I'm happy driving my "old man" C3 and my "old man" Jags and hanging out with old farts. Older folks have better taste in music. They share some of the same hobbies like fine watches, handguns and guitars.
They are much more cunning with the lingus. Keep in mind social attitudes in 1964. They worked a LOT harder for the nookie than kids do today.
