Thanks,

Mine needs lots of TLC, but its a lot better than what other people are driving!

I bet you wish you still had that 56 all nice and restored..probably worth a little $$$

Bought my 87 Vert in 2006 when I was 18. The car and I were both brought out to the world within a month of each other in 1987. Now I'm 22.

40 here, had my 95 for a couple of months now.

I had a 92 when I was 33, only had it for a little over a year. Glad to be back in one.

Here's some global info:

According to research by Specialty Equipment Market Association and Experian Automotive, as of 2009, there were approximately 750,000 Corvettes of all model years registered in the United States. Corvette owners were fairly equally distributed throughout the country, with the highest density in Michigan (3.47 per 1000 residents) and the lowest density in Utah, Mississippi, and Hawaii (1.66, 1.63, and 1.53 registrations per 1000 residents). 47% of them hold college degrees (significantly above the nationwide average of 27%), and 82% are between ages of 40 and 69 (median age being 53)
