I'm 36 and this even applies to me. Local clubs always go on planned drives based on sight seeing, or the wax and show events. Not very exciting. I think either you are into that sort of thing or you aren't.

I have a C5Z and don't like this stuff. My dad is over 60 and has a C6Z and most of his vette activities center around the track. People are into these cars for different reasons.

Yea I'm 25 and sittin at a show to bake in the sun sounds lame but besides I live in the nyc area and rarely ever see a c5z. Anybody live nearby that wants to meet up for some fun cruises and trips to the track? I just bought mine 2months and lookin to get heavy in the game

yea, I'm 26 and am not quite sure I am going to attend any more corvette gatherings. They all seem to be a bunch of 50 year olds in ugly corvette themed clothes talking about how much stuff they can keep in the trunk or what kind of car bra to use. Last year I went to a corvette meet outside of saratoga, new york. The road leading to the event was a smooth winding road though nice farm country, perfect place to strech the legs of my C5Z after a long highway cruise. But I couldn't, every time I came around a corner I was met with the back end of another vette going about 5 miles below the speed limit with a license plate that reads oldnslow or Jus4us or some crap like that...I love vettes...I just wish there was meets for us people who love to drive their vettes.

LOL
I guess im categorized as an old waxer (53), but I dont do Vette shows or if I go to one to socialize with some friends I dont really clean my car up anymore than if Im driving it down the back roads with bugs all over the front of it.

I happened upon a Vette show bout 4 years ago and all the guys around me actually had Q-Tips out cleaning their crevasses and brake calipers. I even saw several people with horsehair fine brushes cleaning off the wiper blades and vent holes to try and win some stupid trophy and knew right then and there it was time to get the hell out of there. They were kinda peevedat me that I wasnt cleaning my car up. I was cracking up some guys there with 2 week old C6's were trying to win trophies for their totally stock cars. The whole show looked like a new car lot with all of them wanting trophies...woop ee doo...

I dont do the stupid Vette wave or wear Vette clothing either. I think all that Vette personality clothing bling crap is for the birds... Yea im not your typical braggart Vette owner I guess. I could care less what the other guy has or if he gets pissed I dont wave back.
Oh I also drive my car like I stole it..just ask all the cops around here...

Nofreee

I would have to travel a couple hours to even find a corvette show so needless to say I don't go to those. I do go to 1 or 2 shows each summer since my father-in-law is a big car guy but these shows are mostly old muscle cars. In fact he shows a canary yellow '40 Plymouth Business coupe but most of the cars range from the 30's through newer cars. Out of maybe 100 cars there's usually only 1 or 2 other C5's. I think it's fun to go just to see all of the cars. The q-tips and horse brushes is a little much though. I'm about to turn 31 and I just like anything that ****s and gets and guess what - this C5Z isn't stock.

ptindall

I guess you're not. I didn't say all old guys are waxers, only that those shows are populated by guys who are both old and waxers. And I'll only consider 53 old until I turn 50. Then 53 won't be old anymore.

SCM_Crash

Funny. Here in Los Angeles, when I go to car meets I'm usually 1 of 3-4 C5Zs. Only a couple times have I been the only one, but usually theres a few here and there.

Z06 Nate

Same here! The only other C5Z that I know of is my dads!

Hey, guess I'm a waxer too (52). NEVER went in for the 'Vette crap. When I had my '70 BB car I went to a couple all Corvette functions.
Ended up with the '70 because my '71 Cuda couldn't stop or turn, plus the '70 looked killer. But when I'd take it to Muscle car events, you get blown off at first because of the 'Vette stigma.
I like the Z for the same reasons the younger owners do, fast, unique, it can back up it's looks with performance to match. There's a few in my area, but only see one or two a week, out and about.

that is all I ever see on the track that is.

Slovette2000

Here in mid TN I see lots of C6's and C5's very rare I see a C5 Z06

Millenium Z06

Beat me to it, they are also the guys wearing corvette jackets, hats, t-shirts and a corvette watch.

HaHa...Trust me, not all of us "old waxers" drive their cars slow. Sorry we're being so poorly represented in your area. Personally, I enjoy hanging with younger vette owners. Our cars are our transgenerational link.
