I'll be 63 in March. I'm in decent shape and longevity runs in my family, so I expect I'll have many quality years left. I'll need them; the bucket list is long.

I was born before Corvettes were made and TVs had tubes and you could take your tubes to Thrifty Drug and check them on the tube tester by the front door and the ice cream cone was just a nickel. Disneyland wasn't built yet and the Korean war was a year old at the time.
There were no transistor radios at that time and I do remember the party lines and hearing the neighbors bitching about the Mitchell boys are playing with the telephone again.
Also, I was born just after the start of construction on the first freeway in Southern California.
So, I guess that makes me somewhat old but, I am fortunate to not have any incisions or medical incidents.

46 in hexadecimal. Old enough to know better, if I could remember what it was.

Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.

49.
Bought my first Corvette (which I still have... '02 Z06) at 33.
I'm on my 4th Vette... bought a '69 and resto-modded it...should never have sold that car, and also had a '12 GS. Recently picked up a '11 ZR1.

I was at a Moody Blues concert a couple years ago and it was the drummer's 70th birthday. He told the crowd he was happy to have lived through the 60s twice.

Age
I just bought my 2nd corvette, a 2000 convertible for my 80th birthday present to myself. I owned a 1978 that I was fixing up and my well went dry. Had to sell it ad the money went down the well! Still have a 1958 Austin Healey that I bought new and it shares the garage with the Corvette.
