Curious about how many C7 owners are retired, semi-retired, or still going full-time?
A different question from purely age in my mind... it is about who is enjoying their C7 fulltime in retirement/unemployment, vs those who have cut-back to part-time jobs like consulting, etc. and of course those who are still going strong in a full-time job.
I'm full time, though I'd call it full time lite

I am retired, but do work on occasion for the local Chrysler dealer delivering fleet vehicles and doing dealer trades. The amount of time each week varies between zero hours up to perhaps 25-30 hours a week on as busy week. Sometimes it also involves traveling out of state to bring a vehicle back. I just consider this to be a fun job

20 years left (unless I get that 20 and 20 package I was hoping for). HAHAHA
I don't think I will ever stop working, but it will be nice once I don't have to anymore...

I own my own practice and the Vette is (in part) a reward for 40 years of success so far. Great clients, great projects, (great wife & kids) and a great car keep me going strong.

Retired last July after running printing presses for 40 years.
Bought my first Corvette this week.
Snowed another 13 inches after this photo was taken. Blizzard warning for tonight and tomorrow.
So far I've put 8 miles on it.

I'm 49 and still working full time but I'm just 3 years away from retiring. My wife and I plan to do a lot of road trips across the US in the C7 when we retire, that's going to be a lot of fun!

Retired at 62 in August of 2017 and enjoying my retirement full time but the Vette only part time because living in New York State and putting the Vette away for the winter sucks!
