I'm not.
When I was born there were only B&W TV's and rotary phones.
However, the only reason for buying a Corvette was because it became mid engine.

My father worked for Phillips early in his career and brought home an experimental colour tv. It didn't have a case.History: Television begins in Canada, Sept.06, 1952
The new technology of television had been amazing visitors to the annual Canadian Nation Exhibition in Toronto since before the Second World War. Indeed there had been some brief experiments in actual broadcast television as far back as 1932 based in Montreal, but this ended in 1935, and as the twww.rcinet.ca
I don’t recall if the first tv I saw was black and white or colour. It was a “ console “ type with the tv in the middle and a turntable on one side and an AM radio on the other. Colour tv broadcasts began in Canada in 1966 although probably not very common to have a set then due to the high cost of them . The “ Juliet Show “ was definitely before my time although it does ring a bell for some reason perhaps hearing my parents talk about it. The first program I recall being aware of was Ed Sullivan which ran from 1948 to 1971 .My father worked for Phillips early in his career and brought home an experimental colour tv.

I remember being the first person I knew with a colour tv. Back then we didn't even get to see the first period of hockey. We had to watch the "Juliet Show" and the game was joined in progress at 9pm. Games started at 8:00 back then.
That was almost exactly like our 2nd or 3rd colour tv. We played Magnavox Odyssey Pong on it. Add a static overlay and it became hockey!

hmmmmm... Said he was 58 when he joined the forum. I may be wrong but it feels like he's been here for 15 years....I wouldn't call Jack a senior! Unless he's Mexican.
I'm wondering if the stereotype is true.... Are all you guys retirees who fart dust? Or are there some spring chickens here?
I'm 36 and wonder if there's anyone younger than me here. I get the sense most c8 owners are in their 60s
