Default How old are you?

For those of you that own a C3 Corvette, how old are you? (my 2nd try at a corvette forum poll - hopefully this time I'll get it right)

Not too old to Rock-n-roll, not to old to enjoy my Corvette, but too young to die (to paraphrase Jethro Tull - now I'm aging myself) :crazy:

I'm 31.

Was 29 when I bought my '75. Accused of going through a mid life crisis then and still hear it every so often these days.

When exactly does a mid life crisis start? :p:

Hey, the way I see it- "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional". And that's the great thing about driving my vette, it makes me feel young again.

Though I wouldn't say I am over the hill (41), I, too, bought my vette just before my 40th birthday (mid life crisis thing).
