Default How old are you?

Well I was just wondering how old is an average C3 driver. And how old were you when you got it.


I'm 19 years old , And I just got it like 2 weeks ago!

Old enough to realise I should get a more practicle car for my daily driver. Young enough to not listen to that little voice!

I'll be 53 Sept 9 but sometimes I act like I'm 12. Bought a 68 vert in 72 but sold it in 74 when I got married. Got a 81 now that I bought in 87.

I bought my first corvette when I was 35 years old- a 1978 silver aniversary. When I was 42 I bought my second corvette-a 1964 convertible and then sold the '78. When I was 47 years old I bought my 1972 corvette. I have kept both corvettes and I am now 52.

I'm 27. Been in love with muscle cars/older cars pretty much since I could drive (15 in Louisiana at the time ). With my **** poor bag boy jobs, I had to settle for a turd pickup truck through high school then, went pratical and bought a couple small foreign cars..moved on to a pontiac grand prix when I was about 22, had a woman hit me head on and totaled that thing. Then purchased another pratical 98 Diamante, which I must say has served me well up to now. About to get engaged so I gave that car to my girlfriend and used it as an excuse to FINALLY get something that suites me...my new 1971 Corvette. Long overdue but I finally get to start playing with the thing. BTW, giving you wife/girlfriend etc.. a car helps alot when this phrase comes out of your mouth for the first time. "I think its time I bought a corvette"

Do what you want to do,
Whats the worst that can happen.
