Mid 40's for me so... mid life crisis if you say so. But the truth, always loved 'em and now can afford my own. SO GLAD TO JOIN THE CORVETTE CLUB!!

Bah, other people may see a "mid-life crisis", I see a guy enjoying his dream instead of letting it gather dust on a shelf!

You know, jeeps and trucks, I never saw the attraction. Give me a high compression little AWD sports hatch in the winter (Celica Alltrac for example) and I leave all the 4x4s miles behind, hehehe.
