57 years old, first Vette.
Should I become an *******, I already have quite a few year's experience. Just kidding. I bought a 78 and having a blast just driving it but I am 6 ft 2 and it is easier getting in and out of my 41 Chop Top Chevy than the Vette.

Congratulations on your new Corvette & Welcome to the Forum! I find mine much easier to get in to than to get out of, but mostly that's because I just want to keep driving!
