Awesome Dad! He has to be the youngest. I wish my Dad would have given me his 64 Comet or 57 Chevy when I was 9. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

They really are special cars. I remember when they were new I had just graduated high school. My father used to take me in his 70' Chevelle to the dealer to see them. My son loves this car! We got it in Illinois and on the way home I took him to the factory and Museum in Bowling green. |

It's a different generation now... most kids don't even want to learn to drive. Anything to get the next generation interested in real cars. The neatest part was finding out when we got home the engine had been autographed by Tommy Morrison and Dave McMillen |

Nice story and thanks for sharing. I wish I still had some of my 60/70s muscle cars. [emoji22] I?m being all I can be with my Z. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Cool! I noticed that and it is shocking. My Mom let me drive illegally when I was 10 and I learned to drive a stick on Mazda RX-3 back in Hawaii. I have never even seen one here in Japan. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

I wouldn?t say it?s a silly question. Amazing that we still have a lot of members from when this poll was started. You all know who you are. Of course, always happy to have new members join us. ![]() |

Thanks. I guess I would never ask people their age in conversation. Yeah, I am a newbie to many and it is great that even folks that have long sold their cars are still around. These cars have some kind of magic for all of us with it in common. Nice to see all the new members joining as you said to keep the dream alive. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

I have aged 13 years since this thread started. And I was around with the original ZR-1 Registry with Larry Merow in the early '90s and bought my '93 ZR-1 in 1994. Oh well, happy to still be on the green side of the grass and still driving a Corvette (although not longer a ZR-1, but 650 horsepower does make up for that a bit). --Bob

79, oldest age posted here so far, but my car's only 32, just a youngster. 3rd 'vette, can never be too old to drive these things, keeps you younger every day. I'll keep it 'till I'm 90, or when I can't get in or out of it anymore if that time ever comes.

Bob, You are the man, the myth, the legend! I only know I am at retirement age and looking forward to it in less than two years. That will finally give me the time to enjoy my hobbies instead of trying to do so much on just the weekend. It is great we have a bunch of old timers here to learn from. I have a huge bin of LT5 Registry newsletters that I have not even had the time to read and I guess I can do that in retirement. The guy I bought my 91Z from in Hawaii was into it and left me all the stuff he collected. It is pretty interesting to see how they did it all in those days mailing hard copy newsletters. Those were the true innovators leading the way when these cars came out. I am glad you are still here despite your new car. It is the people like you after all that make it great. Thank you.
