Older folks drive vettes? So what, why let stereotypes push you away from having a really nice sports car? And even though the design is a bit old it still looks fantastic in my opinion and I would think most people think the same if you happen to be worried about what others think. The only thing I’d be worry about is the insurance; I hear it’s quite high for vettes.

First, let me just say I love Corvettes. And you are spot on about the high insurance costs. Agreed, C&D will flog the vehicle, but that's not happening constantly. And my opinion is that we flog the vehicle on occasion as well, so I usually agree with C&D's "observed mpg" numbers.
