I know some of us have had our Vettes a looooong tome, but I was curious where the median would be. Obviously, few people will have them a long time, due to the wide demographics. I must say that this poll pretty much follows my "customer profile". Thanks to all that participated!

nearly a year now since I bought it, but didn't get to see it until a few months later (transport and shipping time). (feels like alot longer though!).

I was looking for about 2 years before I bought my 70 vette.

I love corvettes

but I love driving corvettes more!
