Retarded
My girlfriend tells everyone I'm "retarded"! Retired now over 11 yrs. (66 now). Bought my first vette when I was 21. Second when I was 27. I got this one in '04. Had a few other car in between.
Never really did get out of my first childhood. Oh... I am NOT bald!

67 - Far from bald, not considering retiring, bought my 1st. corvette in 2009 and my second in 2010. (my second lady and gent) Looking for the later to dyno at 600+
Live by a very simple creed: Today was great but not as good as tomorrow and can't wait to see what the day after will be like. Have an incredible and supportive spouse and kids who encourage me every day.
By the way - was given 6 months to live 11 years ago and have never looked back. Get up every day excited and always looking to kick some ****. WHAT'S AGE GOT TO DO WITH IT?
It's ATTOTUDE stupid! Hope all of you get to experience and fully enjoy it!

I am told that Corvettes are for old bald retired guys looking for a second childhood. I happen to be retired and bald but I'm not looking for a second childhood....I never grew out of my first childhood. So I guess I'm a two out of three guy. What say the rest of you guys. Do you fit the profile?
for my 2nd childhood. This is NOT my first vette!!!!

Retired, no, but I'd like to be.
Old, everything is relavent, I'm 55. When I was 20 55 sure sounded old.
Fat, nope, weigh less now than when I was 20
Bald, nope, although it thinned a bit in my 30s
I'd have to say, most "car guys" that I know are over 40
