Thank you for the inspiration and something to look forward to. I will try to do the same but it is so expensive to keep old cars, especially imports here in Japan. The road tax with our 5.7 liters is almost 1,000 USD a year depending on the yen exchange rate since all my income is USD. I?m protected now since I work for the US military but have to pay the piper soon not counting all the other weight tax and registration. With insurance and everything else you can imagine annual running cost. You are right as it will keep me young if I can afford it. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Flattery will get you everywhere, Craig. Hope you can retire as soon as you want--I guarantee you will enjoy it. I retired fully about 8 years ago and really semi retired seven years before that and sold BMWs and MINIs at a local dealer for fun (not profit). No regrets at all. Just this weekend we had our 8 year old granddaughter up for an overnight and had to grocery shopping; she lit up and said "Can we go in the Corvette, Pop?" the next day when working on a project with her, I said we probably should go to the hardware store for a couple small parts. She once again said, "Can we go in the Corvette?" Retirement doesn't get any better than that. --Bob

Time with your granddaughter and her time with you money cannot buy and invaluable. That's awesome and she is going to be hooked now. I see the two Dennis's here with their grandkids on FB and it's lovely to see. Take care and I hope we both outlive our dicks with no regrets. ![]() ![]()

34. Bought my 1990 at the end of 2018 (took her home in 2019); bought it because my dad has always been a huge corvette fan, and has been enamored with the Z's since I was little. You could say I bought it for him?I had a viper at the time, and I had visions of he and I driving the blue ridge parkway together here in NC. Alas, that did not work out?my dad's infatuation turned out to be just that, and I fell in love with the sound of that big 5.7L. I set about pouring myself into restoring / modding the old beast. Covid made bringing her back a tad difficult?and then a little confrontation with a curb earlier this summer (faulty power steering pump) set me back a bit further. Nearly there, though; hopefully she's on the parkway in time for this fall season.

All I know is that I am 14 years older than when Craig started this thread and am on my third Corvette since then. I think Geezer is right--we need some older age brackets like those he suggested.And we need the ability to update our vote! --Bob

Holy Toledo Batman! I forgot about this and wish I still had my old profile to update it. Maybe an admin can modify the age groups. I am now in the highest bracket myself and expect I might be here another 10 years. Hopefully an Admin can get creative with the poll. Nice to still have you around. ![]()
