From one 66 year old to another. Congratulations, you just knocked 20 years off your age. I've been driving Corvettes for thirty years. Each day is just like the first. Never gets old. No pun intended.

My biggest problem: "I'm too young to be this old"

Congrats!!! I was 60 when I bought my Corvette. Wife hates it, I love it, kids are standing in line to inherit it. I'll be 65 in August and they'll have to wait a few more years.

Congratulations on the vette. Make sure you learn about the steering column lock and the clutch slave cylinder probs with these cars and you should be in the green.
