I just turned 69. I loved earlier Vetts, 1957 through 1967, but as a young person, I couldn't afford them. The 1968 through 1996 styling left me cold. The 1997 through 2004 Vettes were more tempting, and the 2005 C6 even more so, but it was the 2008 with the LS3 engine and refined shifting and steering that enabled super car performance, especially when fitted with the optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension and NPP dual mode performance exhaust system, that proved nearly irresistible. The 2009 with its variable rate power steering and chrome rather than aluminum front and rear emblems that finally convinced me to buy a new Vette after more than four decades of waiting for an irresistible and affordable super sports car/touring vehicle from GM. Sometimes you grow old simply waiting for the girl or car of your dreams.
They are the fountain of youth!

Hilarious. Anyway.....
Come on, isn't it bad enough that corporations feel it's good to get rid of anyone over 50 so they have "young blood" in the organization...and now we are discussing how old is too old to own a Vette? I pray I can drive mine for many years to come.
