I was 62 - 3 years ago. It was an '03 Z w/92k miles. I really loved it, but reluctantly sold it for an '03 Z, same color (EB) w/24k miles, which is what I'm driving now. Always dreamed of driving one since I was a kid (13) and given a ride in a '62 convertible with a 327.

I inherited a '63 split window, '00 daily driver 6speed, & '04 6speed when my Dad died 2 years ago. I was 23, would much rather have him but he's happy knowing his toys are still played with!

Last year I got my first Vet at 52 yrs old. I heard once on the radio a few years ago that the average age of corvette owners were 45-50 yrs old. I was wondering how you felt about that stat?

My 1st Corvette was a 1976 which I purchased when I was 37. The 2nd was my C5 (2001) which I purchased last year when I was 71 and in my 2nd childhood!

26, and loving it. I went out looking for a low profile sleeper and I ended up with this beast.

So much for low profile!

29 for me, thanks to my gf, who is 37. Her dream car as well, so I think I am still dreaming haha. I wanted a Vette before I died, no clue it would happen this soon. Simply amazing.

I was 22 when I got her back in 2006. Ive put a lot into her and will probably never sell her though I might buy another Corvette. Maybe a C3.

Got my 2001 at age 56 4 years ago. Nice to see some younger guys now able to afford these hot rods.
