We share the same dream. Bought the 90 ZR1 a couyple months ago in Dallas. Parked next to my 69 SB coupe NCRS topflite.

Life is good

I don't miss them at all. I understand the appeal of ham radio, but the new revolution in personal communications has actually caused revolutions around the world. Longtime dictators are biting the dust everywhere because the social media are allowing oppressed people to connect, organize, and fight for their freedom. More power to them.

Cars, ham radio, such antique enthusiasms, so "20th Century".

Just kiddin', I love my"Antique ZR-1"

ok I'm adding to the poll that WB9MCW strarted....

I was 20 when I bought mine and after owning her 8 years there is nothing that puts a smile on my face like my Z.

I remember seeing the first one live back in the day thinking to my self I will never be able to get one of those...

I just turned 45 (June) and bought what I thought would never be possible. I am the proud owner of a ZR-1.

Who'd a thunk it!!!

So...at the moment...almost 60% of respondents are between the ages of 40 and 60. Once again, reinforcing that the ZR-1 is a man's car....not a boy's toy...!! All hail the "King of the Hill"...and, "The Brotherhood"...!!!

Or it could be that we are all suffering a "mid life crisis" as the squints call it? I prefer to just tell them that I never grew up, so I can't have a mid life crisis!

If it's a mid-life crisis, I've been suffering since 35 - 21 years!

....Well-put..!!

Can I have a mid life crisis if I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up? Grow old? Mandatory. Grow up? Optional. Always liked options.

My Harley's and my girlfriend were my mid-life crisis. My ZR-1 is my retirement present!!
