I like the poll and the results it shows. It does lean toward the 55 and over crowd but shows some nice numbers below that. I started at age 21 with a '65 red coupe and now at 70 I have #10 an Arctic White coupe.

I'm not done yet. You're only young once but you can be immature forever. It's never too late to have a second childhood. I don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

It is always interesting meeting my local Vette owners at the Pavillions car gathering every Saturday here in Phoenix but I will admit that there is a huge generation gap between myself and the "average". I've only met one other gent who actually tracks his C7 locally and that makes it tough to find friends who are into the same thing. The GT-R guys are a special brand of douche around here so no go there, Viper owners seem non existent, and the import crowd is just too young. Being 35 is an odd age, too old to hang with the kids, but too young to hang with the older folks.

No surprises here. I had to wait until the "nest" was empty before I could seriously consider it. I suspect that is often the case. I watch museum deliveries on the webcams and see 55+ frequently.

If you ever see the white C7 and black ZL1 couple parked side by side at the Pavilions, that's me!

My family had some problems with them in the past and I had always thought their quality (especially interiors) was sub-par compared to the competition.
It had been pretty much a decade or more since I even looked at GM product when my friend had bought a new Camaro SS 1LE in 2013.
He let me drive it and I was amazed and how much GM had improved the quality of their interiors. IMO his Camaro was an easy win over the 2013 Mustang GT in feel, initial quality, ride, etc... Two years later and he has had no problems.
Anyways he turned me on to GM again. When I sat in one of the new vette's the interior made my mind up. I had to have one
