Default Never too Late

My husband and I are both 78. We have never owned a Corvette or as far as we know, we have never ridden in one.

After hearing all the incredible features about the C7,we figured we should get one on order.

Please add us to your list if possible GM'er.

Congratulations, Mrs. Grammac. Yes, you are never too old! 78 is the new 58! My dad is 84 years old, and in 2010, at 81 years old, he got his first Mercedes S600....his first v12 supercharged engine! He loves it. Still drives it regularly and enjoying the hp!

Echoing the many congratulations you're receiving. I'll be 70 in Jan and have owned over 100 cars but never a 'Vette. My 1st one is ordered and at 3400. Will probably be coming off the line next week . I hope you enjoy yours as much as I know I will mine .

Neat!! A lot of life is about attitude is it not??? Look at our Forum...... some act like waiting for this car is the end of their world and others count their blessings to have "our problems"

Enjoy it!!!

Curious....what color?

I was with a '70-something' woman last night who loves her red C5 convertible.

Her line is: "The car has this thing called 'torque'. I don't know what it is but I love it."

Enjoy!

Welcome to the family

Are you and your husband "car people" who've had other sports cars in the past? Or, is the a completely new thing for you both?
