Default Here we go angain

I was just on the C4 forum---remember my husband has a C4 and I need to keep up with the market for sales over there---but anywho--someone over there posted a thread and it went like this:

Let's here it:

your age
year of your car
and mods


It ended up being 10 pages long--and it got me wondering---is there a huge age differnce in the people that have C4's and the people that have C5's so I figured I'd try it to see.. Over there---most of the people with C4's are between 40 and 60 with a few in the younger age brackets---my husband thinks it's because that was "their" era of growing up---I still think it is just personal preference...So let's see it:


age
year of your car
Mods (some of you have way to many to list EG--Jim )


40
99 coupe
nothing just yet but as you know---I'm getting my list ready..

EDIT (12/14)---Mods: YEAH BB Bullets,complete blackout kit, front/rear lettering, blink kit, new targa top, new paint, Y2K chrome wheels and tires and new tire pressure sensors. Ok---all appearance mods but stil smilin....

Or its the "I can afford it" factor. According to a GM document I read awhile ago it put the average Corvette owner at 45. I can't remember if that was C5 specific or not.

That is another very good point and most of these people didn't just get their cars or I would best that most of them would have gone with the C5 after seeing the prices on them right now..So low it's ridiculus not to get one..
