THIS is why so many Corvette guys are older...or at least it is in my case!

Hey P,

That was too funny and I can't believe it has been six years since I started this thread. We are all years older now................

Mahalo for sharing.

Aloha,

Craig

Craig I bet the 60+ might just be the largest # now if a new poll were started.

Best we just stick with this one since it makes us feel better to be the 6 year younger one. LOL

Hey Big B,


I agree. The only thing I am looking forward to with age is being retired one day and not have to wake up at 5:30AM. Please tell me you are going to be at the BG Gathering in a few weeks? Looking forward to meeting you one day!

Smile Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?

I completely disagree with the video. Today being married simply does not pay off. Because of feminism and the horrific behavior of today's women and our skewed judicial system-women today hold the cards and have the power, and they know this. Among most women it's an unspoken rule they never will admit it but they all know, and most take advantage of the radically uneven biased system against men. Marriage today is huge step back for the majority of men today, especially men with financial independence. For decades the government and society has brainwashed us thinking that marriage and kids is not only the right thing to do but the moral thing to do. Feminism and women's hell bent motivations on equality has almost ruined men-women relations in today's society because men are waking up thanks to MGTOW and youtube videos that provide clarity and understanding to men on the extreme disadvantages of marriage and fatherhood today.

All this said, I advise guys to work hard and save, and buy what you want, when you want. Buy your toys as early as you want but pay cash. Never, ever finance a vehicle.

Avoid the huge financial pitfalls or marriage and kids because it's not worth it anymore. Sorry to be so negative but if you study what is happening you will clearly see that men (especially American/Westernized men) don't get a fair shake in today's society.

Have a great weekend everyone

I've had 14 corvettes over the last 40+ years, but just got my first 1990 ZR-1 Red on Red last year. I'm 69 yrs old and getting in and out is a little painful, but once in the seat worth every bit of pain and with only 18,500 miles on it it rides like a dream and this is the most fun to drive of all that I've had. Especially the sound and the nose lifting, when you take that LT5 above 5,000 rpm and shift a few gears!

Welcome to the family and nice to your comments from someone with a lot of experience with Corvettes and you have been infected by LT5. Congrats on your nice ride and great find. We just closed out the 2015 Gathering in the last hour and what a blast it is to be with this bunch of great folks. Life begin at 69 in many ways.......
