No, you aren't too old to drive a Gen5 Camaro. Check this guy out:

http://5thgencamaro.blogspot.com/200...aro-owner.html

He sold his Monte Carlo SS and got a yellow 2SS/RS with Transformers Edition to boot. This guy is now 101 years of age. He kinda reminds of me of Fbodfather if he was 101. He drives to Detroit every year. That's a compliment by the way! "N" is for NEVER slowing down! Enjoy Virgil Coffman! Enjoy burning your tires whenever you want and never regretting it!

I'm 48 and I hope that I will be getting a new Camaro at 71! If not, that means something bad happened along the way.
My Dad was 63 when he bought a Camaro...from me! I bought a Vette and was going to sell my Camaro and he told me that he wanted it.

71. You represent all the heritage and history of the Camaro. The Gen5 has taken the best of all of that and moved forward. I damn sure think you owe it to the world to represent it!

Any day above dirt is a good day, and certainly any day driving this Camaro beats anything else... this car makes you feel young again if older, cool whether you are or not...
