So in a way, 20 or so years form now, most owners may all be in their twenties or thirties!

Ha! I'm 60, and if I passed my car down to my daughter, she's covered no problem with the 30-39 age group. :-)

Guess the thought is we are all old after 60.

you likely should also add:
Soon to be deceased

Change 60+ to 60-69 and then add 70+ ... then all you 60+ers can feel younger again and let those of us a bit older keep working for 80+ or even 90+.

I still enjoy spirited driving (especially in the mountains) with both Vettes, altho I sense that shifting gears is becoming more difficult (and slower). Perhaps it's time to look at a newer Vette with the 8 spd paddle shifters.

My mom recently passed away at the age of 98+ and she would still have been driving were it not for macular degeneration (both eyes). One of my goals is to approach her tenacity for enjoying life to the fullest for many years to come.

Hey George,

How are you these days? Despite being the OP of this thread, I am not able to change the age groups since it was before I had quit and rejoined the Registry. I agree it would have been better with more 10 year increment options. Maybe some Moderator with Admin roles can do so. I had no idea this thread would still be alive, nor did I think I would have this car this long.

My condolences about your mom's recent passing and WOW, she did great at 98. My parents are 87 and 84 and I can't imagine at my dad's age of 87 I would be driving this ZR-1.

Take care and Aloha,

Craig

Are you sure you aren't older than sand?
