Default Congrats

Congrats on hitting 60. I also thought I'd never see it, well I have as of a few years ago. Just remember, we're like a fine wine, we improve with age

60......That's just a puppy. I forgot what it's like to feel that young but congratulations on another milestone. Since you've got a Vert now is the time to buy some Hawaiian shirts, white patent leather shoes and belt. But........if you do you'll be disowned. BTW, If I could find the silly S.O.B. that called these the "Golden Years", I'd stomp on him with my titanium hip joint until my bypass blew out.

Sonny, geesh, long time since I heard that but I like your Naw answer. Life is not about going to the grave looking good. It's all about sliding in sideways, totally worn out and used up yelling WOO-HOO What a Ride.

I don't feel any different at 61 than I did at 45. I feel great! Having more fun is all.

I turned 66 in Feb. this year. I'm thinking about some kind of lift kit, spacers in the seat to get in and out better or hip replacement surgery and a life time supply of Aleve! Our minds still want us to be teenagers, while our body has a different take on the situation.

congradulations. im 57 and was just going to post asking if there were any other older guys still driving c4s. I just picked up a second one and it seems like mostly its kids driving the c4s now. Id been 10 years without one and to be honest couldnt afford anything else. Personaly i still think the later c4s were some of the best looking vettes since the 60s.

Congrats on reaching 60. They say life begins at 50, not sure who they are though, so your only 10 years in. The corvette will keep you young. I'm 53 so I got a few years, most times I feel much older thanks to "PD" but what the hay. I need to get my 94' back together so I can enjoy it.

Happy Birthday and many more to come!
