Gee I can remember when 50 was pretty old.
Only consolation is I've got more toys than I did then.

First Corvette ('63 roadster) at 21, now driving my second ('07 C6) at 64. Let's see, at 43 years between Corvettes it looks like my next one will be 2050 at age 105. (well, maybe 104 if I buy before February)Probably ought to consider an automatic by that time, huh?

I haven't figured out my "average age," but at age 72, I'm on my seventh Corvette which is '05 coupe. Bought my first one, a '56, in 1959.
