Default How old are you??

I was just wondering how old everyone on the board is.

I'm 23....a Senior at Roanoke College and work 30hrs/week at First Union/Wachovia Corp.

Both my parents owned vette's when they were younger. My Mom had a Blue Convertible 70 LT-1 which she decked out w/ sidepipes. My dad owned a Silverish 71. So that's where I got my addiction from. Too bad they sold them after starting a family.....having me in other words. :rolleyes:


How bout use guyz. :cool: :cheers:

46 and disabled by a family heart problem. I gave up my career as a Senior Systems Software Engineer for Raytheon Missile Systems. Lets just say I am VERY familiar with most of the 'air delivered' weapons now in use in Iraq.

I'm 20 now and was 17 when I got my vette. I'm almost a junior at the University of Dayon, studying Operations Management. I work my **** off over the summer to pay for anything that gets done to the vette.

Hi, 55, been hooked on this Corvette disease since my Dad took me to the auto show in 1953 and saw the first Corvette, I'll tell ya it hasnt waned any since. Now I'm afraid that my kidz have inherited the gene, 'specially my daughter. The boy is more interested in the Harley and the Hot Rod, but always smiles when we go jammin in the 'Vette. Have owned about 10 or so and miss em all, 'specially that '67 coupe and the '71 LT-1 'vert. Well peace anyway,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Moosie :seeya
