55, Management, married 33 years, 2 boys
owned a 2006 Z06 about a month, so I'm still working on being smooth
Previous notables:
most recent 2006 Carrera S
long time ago - 69 L46 Corvette coupe
some Z-28's
Lexus SC430 & a JK Jeep, and drive an Avalon to work
I keep my toys about a year and get bored with them. I don't see that happening with the Z

Current car with mods in the signature.
Previous notables (in order)
2006 Corvette Z51 coupe (black)
2003 Corvette Z06 (also black)
1999 Trans Am (heavily modified)
But I've also owned dozens of other vehicles. Currently have two others (my truck and my daily driver that I swap out every three years).
Too many to list. I changed cars practically every few years for 25+ years and often owned more than one at a time. Also owned several bikes.

married with a 2 year old son
Live in Portland Oregon
Dyno shop owner
Previous life having spent 20+ years as an electrical engineer in pulp and paper mills all over the world.
In fact, I completed a large expansion project in Thunder Bay not far from where you are. That plant has since closed down when it was purchased by Smurfit.
Currently own a modified 07 Z06 that will be going under my knife again next week for a forged LS7 and Maggie TVS2300 blower, ZR1 TR6060 transmission, torque tube, and differential upgrades.
Old cars included a 69 1/2 Dodge Super Bee with a 440 6pac, a 1965 Plymouth sport fury with a 426 race hemi. My first corvette was a 71 coupe with a 450hp 454, my second corvette was a 1995 LT1 Z07 coupe that later got a supercharged 396 stroker that made a modest 475hp, which was big in 1996. I still have the original LT1 with less than 1700 miles on it!

Future plans: 2013YM (or last-year C6 platform Z) with F55 and either 2 or 3LZ, depending on rebates/situation at the time. I would rather own the last of the C6's than the first of the C7's.

I'm a 28 yo corporate ***** during the day and a waiter at night. Worked two jobs 70 hour weeks to buy my 06 z used. Just got the car now I will continue working 2 jobs until I pay off my student loans. Pretty sure we are about to downsize. I want to get into project management but currently do supply chain management for a top restaurant corporation. If anyone needs a great worker let me know! I'm in Dallas.

My husband and I have both owned Corvettes for quite a few years. Currently, Hubby (just turned 71) just bought a 2008 Machine Silver Z06 with 1,800 miles. I (66 yrs) have a 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange, 6-spd, Z51 convertible. Hubby Alan is semi-retired, owns his own business. I retired from Corporate America 5 years ago and went right into selling...Corvettes, of course!
