your insurance premium comes for a 2013 Corvette and the total is $168 less per year than my 2012 Mustang GT and the Vette has a value of $20k more.I guess getting old does have its rewards!Really,I never asked but I figured the Vette would be about $500 more a year.

Dang....since your saving all that money how about paying my insurance on the Malibu.

Doesn't hurt to ask.

I found the same thing when I bought a new Mustang GT in 2011. It was more expensive to insure than a new Vette for me, although I'm in my 20s.

Maybe they go off the fact if you get in an accident, you are probably NOT going to be able to fix it, since those cars tend to disintegrate in accidents.

I thought this was going to be a thread for old people.

Like, "You know you're getting old when you bend over to pick something up and you start to look around for other stuff you can do while you're down there."

So THATS why you see so many old people driving around in Corvettes. It all make sense now. Empty nesters having fun and getting good gas mileage to boot. I know I'll never own a Corvette because I don't want to be put me into the "Old People" category, not that your old Gary. Your just the cool dude in a Corvette.

Owned my first Corvette at age 22,and have never lost the passion for them.The one car I always go back to,and will never be without again.

I MAY own another one, ...but it will be a while from now and have to be an amazing deal, too good to be true, so if I ever want to sell it, I won't lose my rear bumper in it again like I have in the past.

I'd like to have a Vette. A 58-62. I'd put a straight axle under it, raise the rear about 8", put a nasty 427 in it, M22 with a 4.11 Ford 9". Maybe a small roll bar. Something along the lines of the one in "Hot Rods to Hell" movie. That's the only way I'd ever have one though.

I'd like to see you do that Tony. Then bring it down to Baker's when they have a Vette gathering so I can watch all those assholes have heart attacks when they see what you did to it.

Not saying everyone that owns a vette is an asshole but a lot of those guys are real jerks. Had one tell me that since I didn't have a vette I shouldn't even bother. My Chevelle was just a waste of time and money, only vettes are worth owning.

I'm sure theres some vette guys that don't talk to him either because they know he's an a$$hole.
