Off-Topic, local history
Just read this today. If the demographics I've seen regarding Corvette owners are realistic, I'll bet more than a few of you Seattle types might remember this..
Fifty years ago this week, on March 23, 1967, the first copies of the Helix rolled off the press, launching the city's first underground newspaper. Helmed by Paul Dorpat, the publication tapped into the region's cultural zeitgeist, covering war protests, civil-rights demonstrations, and police crackdowns, as well as promoting eclectic events such as piano drops and rock concerts.

Sorry, but I was only 5 years old at the time. Does that make me a young or old corvette owner? I wonder what the real over/under is for ownership. I am guessing there is a poll somewhere on the forum, but what about N/W specific? How old is everyone on the N/W forum?
I will start, my name is Dogboy, and I am 55 yoa.
