Default How old are you old farts....

Just trying to get a sense of the demographics on here.....I'm thinking a lot of old guys with a sprinkling of young guys, some mid years, and a few of the ladies......(the ladies can all be 29)

I'm 58....

In the medical industry- they don't call you old till you are in your 80s...

So I am 56 years young-

Bought my first Vette at 15 in 1978 and have owned my current 71 since 18- so I've been a Vette owner for 41 years...

Richard: Don't take this as impertinent since I've followed you for years, but in all this time there's only one thing that you've liked? What was it?

BTW, bought my 69 in 72 and 07 in 07. I am 75.

My vette is 4 years older than me and it's reminded me of that a few times now.

I'll turn 60 this October. I've owned my '66 L79 since the summer of '88, which got an engine rebuild and frame-on resto and put back on the road in '90. Had a '75 DD for a few years before that.
