Winter months is an awful time for me because i store my vette and can't drive her and i am sad because when i drive my vette i am very relaxed.

 

Middle aged crazy.............yeah, that's it.

 

I'm 61 and just purchased a vette 2 weeks ago, Had them when i was young, but always wanted another. When my kids moved out i started looking, took me 7 months to fine the perfect vette for me but i found her and am loving it. 2000 trip blk vert w/21,000 mi. take your time and fine the one you want. GOOD LUCK

 

hey guys thanks for all your pep talk! ill keep at it!
i was at work today and a few of my friends think i am absolutely insane. they dont understand why i want a vette. my friend says "you are gonna have a car payment for life!" and i told him he will too. my friends know my car buying habits and i dont impulse shop. i do my homework again and again. i may have not done my homework in high school but dammit, i do it now LOL!! i know what i am getting myself into and what i am doing. the hard part for me is to keep a car for a long time. i feel deep down in my heart that if i own a vette, i will keep it a long time. the only way i will get rid of it is to get another one. i just feel strong about it. i have never felt that way about a car before LOL!
now concerning my girl, she never told me why i should keep my expedition. she just threw attitude at me "getting a vette is a stupid idea. i cant believe u are doing it". obviously that isnt very helpful. if she is against it then fine..at least tell me why and get on with it. i dont know what she is complaining about, she has a 2001 mustang GT that she likes.
i know how u older guys feel about your vettes and why u didnt do it sooner. well, i guess u can say i am learning from your mistakes!
some of my friends at work were supportive of my efforts and understood. i told them every single bit of information i knew and it threw the stereotypical vette out of their minds. i told them everything ranging from trade value, residual, ownership, styling, and fuel mileage. they still dont believe me on the gas mileage. oh well! i guess my intention is to make them jealous now? (not on purpose). i like to have the nicer things in life and i dont like to just get by. i have the opportunity to live my life to the fullest without kids and a wife. im taking it!

 

Great Dane you picked up on it. Middle aged carazy at 58?
Everytime I heard that, I told them I hoped that was true.

 

When you get one its like a drug addiction - can't get enough. I currently have a company car during the week and I typically can't wait for Corvette Friday (as I call it) to come. Have been considering taking another job without a company car which would be a bum me out as far as not keeping the miles down and driving in all-weather, but at the same time I would be smiling everyday.

 

Why were you on the mustang forums?

 

I waited 21 years for my first vette and in all honesty it was 20 and 1/2 years too many I don't care what they call it (American icon, pure euphoria, etc.) I have never owned a car that I can't wait to drive and want to take care of like my vette And I don't know how those cold winter states go for months without driving it That would drive me freakin nuts

 

She's crazy. My wife (korean) almost flipped when she heard I wasn't buying a KIA . Now she keeps trying to make excuses to drive the vette and make me take the min van to work . Looks like she wants me to buy her a C4 now.

 

i have owned 3 mustangs and a member since 03

 

Who says we're not?

 

dude i have every intention of driving the @#$@#$ out of mine in the rain/sleet/and maybe snow. it doesnt snow much here so i am all good! vettes werent meant to be garaged. what if u die?

 

What if? I got some bad news for you.

 

someone told me vette owners live forever!
