Average C5 owner age?
A few friends and I were talking about the age of most c5 owners. I'm 25 and he is 27 but all the other C5 owners we know are a lot older. So I thought I would post a poll and see what the demographics were for the corvette forum.
Just curious,

I was 23 when I got it, seems I am a bit young for the car
At least I drive it hard, unlike 99% of the old fogies out there!

Just curious, what do your insurance payments look like??
BTW, I'm 52 and got my first one 3 months ago after salivating over them since I was about 12.
