Heck, I'm midlife aged and already know I'm too old for a Corvette ;-) I had two of them when I started making serious money in my late 20s and think that was the ideal age to be a Corvette driver. I see fat middle-aged guys driving them all the time and it's a joke. And 77 is a little past middle age.
