62, my c3 is the third vette I have owned since 1972. I only feel old when I look in the mirror or there is a cold front coming through! ( more accurate than the weather channel). Been on the internet for a long time. My 25 yr old son wanted to know how we used to buy parts for these cars back in the day. I told him they had this thing called a catalog, you call them up ( not on a cell phone either), you pay them their money and they send you a catalog. Just like the Sears Christmas catalog. Oops, I forgot there are a lot of you youngsters that have never seen a Sears Christmas Catalog!

Well I was born in 1953 (A youthful 59). Maybe that's why I'm addicted to Corvettes 
I've been driving Corvettes since 1971 when I was 18. Still have that 65 convertible that I bought in 71 for $1,500

hehe, just poking some fun at the... wiser crowd. I'm 26 and I recently bought my first corvette from an older gentleman. During our first conversation I asked him to email me some more detailed shots before I make the trip. He said something along the lines of "my neighbor took the shots and put them on the internet. We don't get the internet in our house. We don't even have a computer." Guess it stuck with me and I'm a stereotyping bastard =P

Oddly enough, the owner was about the same age as me!

Scientifically useless results. 
The ages should have been divided into equal increments so as to not statistically skew results towards any particular group(s).

That's about what I expected how it would turn out. These cars were a big part of people's lives back when they were contemporary. We used to DREAM about these machines even though many of us in the upper age groups were not old enough or prosperous enough at the time to afford one. That's my take anyway.

For those who don't know, the IBM 360 was a very and I mean very large floor standing computer. Sort of like a Univac (heh, heh, I'll really confuse them now Alan!!).
