Welcome to the club. I bought my first one at 59 and now I wonder why I waited so long. I'm having more fun than a grown man should have.

I'm 60 so I know what you mean about having more fun then a man should have. The only difference is this is my 4th vette.

Welcome to the Forum and Congrats on your Vert!
I'm checkin' in at 58 and enjoying the ride just fine. When I was young this was a young mans (and in rare occasions young girls) car. But now it's a car for the masses. Both Genders enjoy it young and dare I say, "older" owners alike. Good luck with your new toy, Enjoy

Congradulations and welcome to the forum old man. (Just kidding about the old man part -- you and I are close to the same age). I promise you this, the car will help you feel very very young and you'll have a ball with it. On the dark side, kiss your Social Security check goodbye, you'll be using it for mods.

Congrats Big John,
You're never too old for toys. As my wife always says, as a boy gets older, his toys only get more expensive.
