I think it's awesome. She's some chick who ONCE was young and probably has loved cars her whole life. I bet she has great memories of driving muscle cars in the 60's, and every decade since. Now she's old and wrinkled and has arthritis, and still loves cars enough to buy a freaking Z07. That's passion, and coming from an old person, that's refreshing.

IMHO

So everyone is clear, she likely is that close due to her legs being short. Old suburbans had adjustable pedals...many high end sports cars do as well...just more weight to add though.

I'll bet she isn't 50 years old. Just short.

Maybe we should have some pics of old dudes driving and see how that goes over.

Besides, 50 is the new 30, right?

Default That was a surprising picture to see her in a Z07

Hey maybe she owns it but bought it for her grandson. Cool Grandma.
Maybe the deal is: He has to let her drive it while he is at work.....??????
Great photo.
I bet she didn't pay over sticker price either. Ha Ha.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,



Thrust,

I really like this one. This should be the picture of the month.


I live in Austin, Tx. I have a 2015 Laguna Blue Z06 that my wife drives occasionally. She is 5'2'' and has to move the seat way forward to operate the clutch well.

Very surprised at the derision here on a Corvette enthusiast forum.

Every one grows older (if you're lucky), but you don't have to grow up.

Very mean to publicly humiliate her.

No, then she would have to lose her gold chains and Rolex watch encrusted with diamonds if she were driving a Porsche.

Hey, I got a great deal when buying my red year-end close-out. Now, if I were driving a red Ferrari, you might have a point.
