Hey, those dudes look too much like me for comfort.
![]() Actually, it's a still from the new reality show "Whisker Wars Cannonball Run".

All I could think of is, "I thought ZZ Top didn't drive a Corvette?"

I'm 51, bought our ZR-1 Jan 2010 when I was still 50. Drove it on Hiway 1 on a 3 day trip with my wife. I've wanted to take that drive since I was 19. Finally did it in style. I have 2 other Vettes both C3's - a 72 Big Block and a 74 350 - both "original motor" cars.

Hi BigBlock 72 -- Welcome to the ZOO (our forum).
Post some photos in the "members rides" section of your ZR-1 and your C3's for us all to see.

On the original subject, this poll sure is skewing ancient isn't it?
Damn, there are more owners over 60 than there are in the 30 -39 bracket. It looks like confirmation of a demographic study that I read years ago, stating that the kids that fell in love with Corvettes in the fifties and sixtees are still the ones that support the brand. Marketing wise, the Corvette is a "boomer" phenomenon. It doesn't look good for the future of the car. When we die off. |

It is the same exact thing in my Ham Radio hobby. Gen X and the the Digital Gen Y are more into their Smart Cell Phones and the Internet message and video services via computers than getting into the true "Wireless Radios" that need real antennas to communicate. IMO with the new C6 looking much like all the other Hi-Po coups on the market we are witness to the blending of the Corvette into the mainstream. I predict the day will come when the Vette and the Caddy and the Camero will all be about the same. We all know how the General likes to SHARE between the different models both in the past and no doubt in the future. C'est la vie as the French would say! ![]() THE FUTURE POLL OF ZR-1 OWNERS

Thanks for the welcome. I added a few pics to my profile - the ZR-1 and the 72 Vette. The 74 is a project car at this point. I hope to get it back on the road soon.
