I'm 19 now, was very grateful to get my 72 when I was 17. When I bought it...
And now:
I've put a lot of money into it, and now it's for sale (for a variety of reasons, none of which relate to how awesome it is to drive!). Funny how that works, innit?

Im 26, go mine 2 years ago.
It was given to me by my cousin, she received it as a present from an ex boyfriend 5 years before that and never really took care of the car!
It was in horrible condition and i did spend a lot of time and money to make it drivable again!
The deal was that since it was given to her she would give it to me only if i promise to never sell it, all i can do is give it to someone if i decide to pass it on and make them promise to do the same!
I dont see myself ever getting bored of it and giving it away but i still think its a sweet deal!
And i feel old saying that (im actually 27 in a few weeks) but come on!
Young, "By that, I mean under 25"!!! geee

I was 19 when I bought my first vette, an 86 I'd rather not think about. I've had this one for about 3 years, I'm 24 now. She definitely didn't look like this when I bought her after a deployment.

I'm 24, and bought my first corvette, a 2000 C5 convertible at 21 in Afghanistan.
Then, on my second deployment, at 23, I sold it and bought my true dream car, the '68 Convertible that I have now.
Cheers!

I'm 21 and got my 74 when i was 17. Bought it for 2500 bucks, and its come a long way from where it was (if you can believe that) Needs paint! (hopefully this summer) Motor is numbers matching and is putting out around 430 hp. My dad and older brother have c3's as well.

I got my 78 for free, and I didn't ask for it either. Mom surprised me with it last summer out of the blue. She had her reasons. I have poured in $$$ since then to get this ride back to a solid driver. BTW I'm old enough to be the farther of 95% of the posters on this thread. 
A little (and I mean a little) wisdom speaking here. It doesn't matter what YOUR ride looks like, know why, because it's YOUR vette not anybody else's. Bottom line your driving a vette, and that's what counts.

Oops. BTW I am going to try and help my oldest son (17) get into a classic El Camino, that's the car he really likes.
I guess my 16 y.o. son has a vette. I let him tell everybody "my" 78 is his. Even having a shirt made up for him to wear at our local cruise night it says " I let my dad drive my car." Yeah, he's a vette guy too.
