Nothing wrong with being a retired old fart and enjoying your car. For me I have always thought that it was interesting to see "older" folks driving expensive and or powerful (i.e. really fast) sports cars. Of course it is usually because the kids are grown and gone and they have more expendable income and/or they are at a point in their life where they can afford such a car. For me I did not want to wait too long to drive a decent sporty car. I'm 42 and work for the Federal government. I bought this car (after comparing it to 4 or 5 others) in it's class because it was the most car for the money (at least to me) and it was/is the new kid on the block, and ceratinly had the most unique styling. I don't know production numbers on cars like the Z350 but I am guessing that they are much higher than the roughly 11,000 (1st year) worldwide production models on the Crossfire.
