63, retired at 55 and lovin' it. Got my C5 about a year ago, can't figure out why I waited so long! Usually have a buzz cut, thinning on the top, silver sides Just wish the top would go away so I can have a nice horseshoe around the top

Retired at 50 now 66. If you drive a Corvette it will keep you somewhat fit because if you get to big you won't be able to get into the car. I still have my hair.

I'm 26 (so, still have my hair, not fat, etc.) Just finished grad school in May, so far from retired, this is my first year of "real" work! My first car too, so it's not as epic as some of the fleets that people on here have owned. Being young does have some perks though; I'm married to a beautiful 24 year old blonde, and I didn't even have to divorce anyone to make it happen!

Default "Sage Advice"

Just My Humble Opinion, but to all you "Youngsters" working toward retirement: Don't forget to enjoy the trip to retirement.

Its smart to take some financial steps as early as possible to insure a good retirement, but not so good to work only to retire.

Retirement can be a double edged sword, you gotta get older to retire. Enjoy your youth and energy during all those years before retirement.

35, not bald, no gray hair, and not retired. Would like to be retired but I'm not wishing my life away to get there either!

I'm 67 and approaching 50 years in the same line of employment, (organized labor) union rep. Just might retire in a year or so but nothing really pushing that decision. Still have all the hair, a few extra pounds, but all in all, I thank God for my really good and prosperous life!

Had the 02 vert now almost two years and love every minute of driving and owning this car.

PEACE!
