Currently I'm 69 measured in earth years, so on average during my lifetime I've been 34-1/2. I'm driving an '07 A6 VY 1LT coupe, also had a '69 T-top 427/390 stickshift Stingray that was nice but crude, rode and handled like a truck. I've also had Porsche 356 and 911, MGB, Fiat, VW, Subaru and dozens of mundane models of MoPar, FoMoCo and GM, most bought used for less than $1K. I don't miss carburetors, mechanical distributors, valve adjustments or 1K mile oil changes.

When The General offers an A6 Z06 or, even better, please, please, please, an A6 ZR1, I'll buy one. I don't need any gadgets other than DOT lights, wipers, mirrors and gauges, and a heater/defroster. Don't need A/C or push-button start, or a radio, or digital display anything, or MP3 or CD or GPS or Blackberry whatever that is, or a pop top, or tilt-telescoping wheel, or power seats, or an "ambient light" in the passenger visor clip. Hand-cranked windows are OK. And, of course, it's got to be available in school bus yellow or taxicab yellow or construction equipment yellow.

Here's some of my family and our 1955 Porsche Continental coupe 1500 Normal in 1969 or thereabouts. The nose damage was by a previous owner.

I am with you on all of this and I like the newer and better suspension the new Models have.

51 here, have always wanted a corvette, it just took this long to have enough money sitting around doing nothing to be able to buy it. For me it must be a second car!
Love my 07 convertible!

Just wondering....Had the opportunity of seeing some GM "expected" statistics on age and median income and just wondering how close they are. Without giving details, the cost of the car was expected to move the age group "up" but at the same time the attraction was set for 30-40 year-olds with plenty of disposable income (the C6 not being the primary car).

Ooops, should have put 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+ but can't change it!!!

I'm in thr 50-59 group and ordered a C6 3 weeks ago. My vette is scheduled for production this week (3/16) and I should take delivery by the end of the month... Can't wait! I have not been this excited about anything for a VERY longtime. The only disapointment is I cannot participate in the museum delivery because I ordered the GCA Ultimate Package option and for some reason (that nobody seems to have a answer for) with that option you cannot take delivery at the museum.

Isn't that because GCA is a dealer installed package?

 

[JEC]

Yes that is a dealer installed package, however my question was.. Why can't I take delivery at the museum and drive the car back to CA and leave it at the dealer to install "some" of the items in the package? The reason I say some is becasue I do not want all of the items in the package installed on the car but I will keep the ones that I don't use.

I spoke with Gary Cockriel at the museum and he agreed and he asked the marketing folks at Chevrolet the same question but so far no success. He did offer for us to come and participate in the museum delivery and enjoy the entire experiance except I fly home instead of driving my new Vette.

I guess I should look on the positive side when you consider the mileage that I won't be putting on the car and I thought it was very nice of him to offer.

Turned 50 in October and just bought this.

And it's not a mid-life crisis.. this will be Vette #7.

 

[Cosworth1]

I 've been saying that I am "50" for the last 5 years....but in actuality- right now I am 49...I guess when I am 50-55 years old , I will say that I am 60. I own a '78 Silver Anniversary Pace Car still untitled and just ordered the 2008 Pace Car commerative with automatic trans and hardtop with two sets of roof panels. It will be like father and son. Pace car scheduled to arrive in early May.
thanks
