Default Question

Ok this might be a stretch...but I'm going to ask anyway. My wife likes to give me a hard time because whenever we are out in one of our corvettes, seems like all we see are folks older than us. Just turned 35 this past Sunday, and the z we have on order will be our sixth corvette. Curious to know the age of you other z06 order-ers, and if you had vettes before this new z we are all waiting on???

41 here. The Z will be my 9th Vette. My first was a 94 that i bought in 96. After that was an 01, 02, 03 , 69, 07, 12, 96. Just now starting to feel like im no longer the "kid with the vette".


This will be my 5th Z06... 02, 03, 07, 12 were all Z's

Glad to see im not the only 30 something.

My goal is to eventually have one of every generation in the stables. Designed the stables in a linear fashion with each bay as a different time period and different generation of vette. Even thought about period appropriate music via hidden speakers in each bay. Only have four bays and a fifth that serves as "records" room built so far....a boy can dream can't he???
