Default Average Age

Hi!

I'm always surprised when a new member identifies themselves as being in their 20's; I'm always encouraged when it is someone in his sixties! Now that the c6 has been out for a year, I thought it would be fun to poll average ages. If you own a c6 or plan on buying an '05 or '06, pop in an answer.

(Fair Warning - this is the first poll I'm posting, so I hope it works)

I got my first Vette this February a C6 Z51 at age 30. Now I have a Z06 on order and will trade in the C6.

Now I`m 31.

35 for now. 36 in 2 weeks.
If I make it to 60 and above, I'll be happy.
Too much stress.
