Vettes for the aged,
Living in Florida l noticed the C8 is as common as a Toyota owned by senior citizens and mostly kept in their garages. The new E Ray
will also be owned by seniors.
The sport car of the affluent is the Porsche period.
My choice is the c7
will also be owned by seniors.

Kinda an old mans car lol. Probably cause more of the aged can afford it and want to treat themselves to a toy before Johnny takes away the keys. Just means lots of low mileage cars coming up in the future in estate sales.

I have a feeling that Chevy has done well in targeting a new demographic for the C8 - yes, seniors may make a good percentage of owners, but younger enthusiasts are plunking down the money too. Whatever the case may be, the important thing is the car is selling well and demand is still strong in its fourth model year.

You got it ($$$), have at it, drive anything you want. One only needs to worry about what one drives.

Your clairvoyance is noted. Now go enjoy your C7. Hate to see it holding the garage floor down.

I just read the hottest item to have for Generation X is an old flip phone. They see beauty in an old design.
The clues are all around us. LOL.

The bigger story is that the OP has only received 3 likes in 20 years and 2700+ posts.
That takes dedication!
(I'm actually not kidding. I would imagine 99.9% of users would receive more likes by accident. To keep the #s that low in 20 years on the site, you'd have to be extremely talented at avoiding posting ANYTHING that ANYONE might agree with. Thats some Ace level trolling, mate.)
