I have to admit this past year,my double nickel was a good one and one to remember, but alas next month, I will be the double nickel no more.

Glad to see there are alot of Corvette owners in all ages out there.
At 52 I feel I am just getting started and now I am at number 30
Corvette. After watching the Barrett-Jackson auction I realized things
have gone full circle. When I was younger I wanted a new Vette, but
could only afford mid-years. Now I can finally have a new one and
don't think I can afford some of the mid-years!

Wolle,

Great to hear from a German Corvette owner.

I lived in Germany for two years but that was 35 years ago. I learned my freeway driving habits on the Autobahn, so the speed limits and driving habits here in the US drive me crazy.

I was in Hamburg about five years ago and spent lots of time working in Germany in 2000 through 2003. I drove quite alot on the Autobahn but I can't recall ever seeing a Corvette. I sure would have loved to had my Corvette with me for my driving in Germany.

Herzliche gruesse,
Doc

Thanks for the memories

I spent about 10 years over there, Germany, (FRG), I did not have a Corvette, but I had a new at the time, 1981 Honda CB 750 Custom and a new AMF 1981 Harley Davidison Low Rider, 1340CC motorcycle, I spent many a day travelling on the Autobahn. At times I got them both going so fast I started to get front fork wobble. Yes to be there with a Corvette now and have the autobahn nearby.

I sure would have loved to had my Corvette with me for my driving in Germany.

how many winters you've got behind you does NOT count

how many summers you've got in front does

I agree with that. I'm now 62. Damn.

Age

Well I feel great reading all the replys. I am 61 (age is just a number) and I just bought my first Corvette, 1993, Ruby Red/ruby interior. I live in central Pa and have not been able to drive it too much as the weather has not been the best. I did get to drive it 220 miles home on Monday 1/30. I get a thrill every time I sit in it. Always wanted one.

Best to all.

Congrats, and welcome. I know the feelings you describe VERY well, and trust me, you're going to feel that good every time you're in that car! Let's see some pictures when you get a chance. -John
