I'm almost 60. These young fellows today are not making the $1.25 per hour we were at 21. Lots of these kids make tons of money even on their 1st job just out of college.

Also, in the overall picture the Corvette is really not an expensive car.

Lots of others cost much more.

Looks like a standard bell curve skewed toward the 50 somethings. No wonder the stereotype exists.

Well - It's not exactly what I would have expected. For instance, the numbers of much younger owners is surprising. Also, isn't 40 the typical mid-life crisis year!

Actually, negatively-skewed log-normal, maybe... or Gumbel...
