How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Carter and I were having a conversation yesterday about the difficult time I am having getting parts and I mentioned that I don't plan to have my Z for more than 20 years or so as I will probably be too old enjoy and work on it. So the question came up as we wondered how old is the ZR-1 community anway?

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Sorry, I screwed this up already. I checked to make it private, but it did not work and set for public. Let me see if a moderator can fix this.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

I checked 30-39 even though I turn 40 in Feb. But still feel like I'm 17 minus the zits. Hehehe!

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Voted and 23 days ago i had to start saying that i am 58 years young. :wave:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Thanks to all of you for sharing. I was hesitant to ask the question, but always wondered what the age group primarily owns ZR-1s. I also thought we don't have many women here so it would be okay to ask. :cheers:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Bunch of old people in here :D

Turn 33 in Feb.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Jeff,

But we're all young at heart......:dancing I hope the moderators can fix the public view so that more folks might be willing to do the poll. I think this will be interesting. I tried to see if it was done in the past and gave up searching.

:cheers:

Just turned 30 in October of this year, so I had to check the "30-39" group. :mrgreen:

56... I don't care how old I am... as long as I feel good the number doesn't really matter... I just keep drinking the joint juice and taken my vitamins. However...one day I would like to get back in shape ! :dancing

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

56...Figure about 10 or so more years to enjoy this fabulous car. I think I'll start that 10+ year journey with a trip to BG next year.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

:sign10:"Hey look at the old dude in the cool vette!" I get that sometimes, and it makes me feel alright!:dancing

58 going to be 59 in June....only trouble is that my mind is still stuck in my teens I think?!?:sign10:

I just hope that I can have some time with my Z before it gets to the point that I have to buy a CTSv or a C5 or a C6 due to not being able to get in and out of the Z. I hate 4 door cars. I hope they come up with a coupe version of the CTSv really soon, so I can afford a used one later!:sign10:

:cheers:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Just turned 31 a few weeks ago.

Nice idea for a survey. It will be fun to see the results if we can get a lot of responses.

I have always thought that it would be a good idea to include some basic personal info here on the forum. My suggestion would be to at least have first name, city and state and Registry Membership in the avitar area.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

I bought my first ZR-1 when I was 35 back in 1991. Like I told Jim and David, every time I jump in the car I feel like I am back in 1991.:cheers:

Craig, good luck with the car, anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Wow, I woke up this morning and see all the responses and all I can say is "Thanks" for participating and great bunch of folks here. :handshak: It will be cool to see some of you again at the 2010 Gathering and meet the others there or some in D.C. next month. :cheers: I'm 47 and retiring from my first career next year (military) so I'm looking forward to my next life as a civilian. If anyone follows Chinese zodiac it is the year of the Tiger (not Tiger Woods) and as predicted, many challenges and changes for me. Thanks for all the support and information through the years as I would not be able to build this Z on my own for sure.:worship: Have a safe and Happy New Year. :occasion1

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

This guy goes to my gym, lives down the road from me. Looks a lot older & shorter in person. Still working out so I need to give him some props.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

I'm 47 and gaining.

Boeing's nickname for the B-52 was BUFF.
Unfortunately, some of us could be called the same. ;)

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

39 here.

No BUFF for me...but I'll take an Eagle anyday.

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

56 here ,but when i get in the zr1 i feel 16:mrgreen:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Old enough to know better :cool:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

BUFF is NOT Boeing's nickname for the B52 and the term does not mean being in shape. If anything it is a denigrating term originally used by fighter pilots to mock the . BUFF stands for "Big Ugly Fat F***ers".

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

47 here and still flying Fighter Jets and Driving Corvettes!

BUFF pilot's named her not Fighter Pilots... Just like A7 pilots named their jet the SLUF... But if we had, you couldn't blame us :mrgreen:

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
 

Yes, I know it's use is not the flattering form of the term BUFF - "Big Ugly Fat Fellow" in it's G-rated version.
UNFORTUNATELY, I find myself fitting the description a bit more every year. The gym helps fight off the fat but I've sure given up on the ugly.

I certainly won't argue over the origin of the term but it is acknowledged as a long-standing nickname even on Boeing's website.
