Just recently turned 48.
2002 MY Z06
Have done a few small dress-up mods, but have a ton of stuff sitting in the garage to install including: Wilwood brakes, Pfadt coilovers and anti-sway bars, elite engineering tunnel plate; VBP polybushings; new stereo system, etc. Also have a tiger shark kit and RPM tranny that I will install eventually.
Going to be a busy fall and winter.

It sure doesn't seem to me that the choice of your car has anything to do with the era you grew up in. There are still more of us "older" generation people with C5's but I like Charlene's way of looking at it---You are only as old as you feel...Age really doesn't seem to be an issue and I also see that the youger generation really appreciates a fine lookin car. This is fantastic---lots of great years and mods...
BTW---cheers to some of you younger guys who have posted that you got your car all on your own or pay for everything else on your own---doesn't it make you appreciate it soo much more??
