It’s absolutely true: age is just a number. This 82 year old woman has continued to do what she loves, despite old age.
Her name is Shirley Veine, the owner of the yellow C5 Corvette Z06 in the video down below. And she took it to a speed trap event the Sun Valley Road Rally in Idaho, where she took the car up to its limits at 171.4 mph.
You can hear her family cheer her on as the yellow C5 Z06 goes screaming by down the road, where the announcer proudly notes her time at the end of her run.
Veine should be inspiration to anyone to keep doing what you love. Because the thrill of speed and high performance seems to never fade away, no matter what age someone is.
Check out the quick video for yourself right down below.

How has NOBODY caught that this is not a Z06? It’s just a base C5 Corvette. It has base wheels and a targa top, not a fixed roof. This is the second article on this car I’ve seen calling it a Z06… people should be ashamed of themselves for not noticing the big difference between a base C5 and Z06.
Not everyone is as perfect as you. I bet you have not driven your corvette 171mph, or do you even have a vette, ey.
Oh and by the way, my Z06 has a removable targa top, ey.
You make it sound like a base c5 is nothing with its base wheels ect. I do not see you out there doing 171mph in your wannabe chair, ey.
