Welcome, and your never to old for the fun of a vette. In my local club, most of the members are between 50-70 and loven life. Besides, there is a special compartment between the seats to store your viagra, if or when needed. I already planned this one out for me..

Welcome to the forum. You will love the car. In the town where I live, there is a retired architect (probably in his seventies) that buys a new Vette every other year. His license plate reads YNOT1. Enjoy the car.

Congrats. and welcome..you'll get alot of enjoyment from your Vette.
I got my 04Z when I was really young.....61.
I realized that I needed driving lessons on the Z as my daily driver was a Crown Vic.....so went to Spring Mountain last February and will go again this February (at $250 off for Jan and Feb). Really got a feel for the car and caught the Spring Mountain bug.
My fun car...http://www.cars.manitobaalive,com Unfortunately she's in storage until April.
