Default Turning 69 Saturday....

I'm turning 69 this Saturday....no big deal. But almost every day I think about selling my 2017 GS and getting something easier to get in and out of. But then I walk out to the garage and see this and say.....why????? It's going be very hard for me to drive anything else. It makes me feel like a kid again every time I drive it. I guess someday I'll move into something more sedate but not today. I guess I can always drive the wife's Lexus....save the wave....maybe I should start prepping the wife for the C8.....LOL

Happy early birthday!

As as long as you’re able to enjoy it, don’t let a simple measurement of time get in the way of your happiness.

Happy early birthday boss! I turn 35 tomorrow. Don't sale your Vette unless there's no other choice. She's a beauty that's for sure.
And oh yeah, definitely start prepping her for the C8

Happy birthday. Your a month and a half ahead of me to 69. I too have a 2017 GS. I traded my Porsche Cayman R with race bucket seats in on the Corvette because it was a lot easier to get in and out of the vette.

I consider my entry and exit from my C7 as my daily yoga exercise... I call the maneuver the "upward Corvette"...

Hope you have a happy birthday this Saturday and I must say you have made a wise choice keeping the C7.

You've got a lot on your plate. Aging, isn't for the faint of heart. Sorry about your impending sale. It's not the easiest vehicle to enter € exit from. I'll grant you that. Good luck in your future!

GM needs to make an optional electric or hydraulic indy car style jack system! Would make mainteance and getting in/out a lot easier! LOL

Happy Birthday from a fellow C7 owner who is also 69. I bought my first one four months ago and will not be without it until I quit driving years in the future. Once I learned to get in butt first then swing your legs in, its a snap. I think people are accustomed to putting their right leg in first and that makes it hard. Butt first works.

Enjoy and 69 is the new 50.
