The age gap thread made me wonder what the spread of ages are for corvette owners (that use corvette forums I suppose... so the results may be a bit skewed). So lets hear it!

The available choices on your poll are negatively biased against 'older' (aka, "Wiser & more experienced" ) folks.

Shame on you!!! (Once you attain the age of 60, you can legitimately use that phrase.)


P.S. Most likely, I was working with computer technology before you were even born.

Hi,
68
I started using an IBM system that filled a large room in 1969.
My mac, that I'm holding on my lap, has far greater capability.
No, I'm not on Facebook, nor do I tweet, but I'm not still back in 1969.
Regards,
Alan

Agree with that!!!

My iPhone has more computer power then the PC Clone I bought back in the early 80's!!

37. I own a '73, so my car is actually older than me.

I owned a '74 in my 20's.

A young 71. Have had my 78 since 1985. Put a 350 HO in it a few years ago. Just added sidepipes and Torque Thrust wheels. Worked with computers in the early 60's that would fill a very large room. Vacuum tube type. Got my first computer about 25 yers ago. It had a 350 meg hard drive and I was told that is all the hard drive you will ever need. I am on facebook and I text ..... "It's never too late to have a happy childhood".

54. You should have added more age groups after this. It made me feel like I was almost at the end or the rope.

I wonder if or what differences would be evident if this poll were to be taken in the different generation forum sections!
