You young guys are so fortunate you probably don't realize how much. I would have given my left you know what for a Corvette at 16. I was driving a old $200 56 chevy stepside pickup at 16 and was delighted to have it. It is probably a collector now but was a junker when I was driving it. Good for you guys.
Thanks,
Mine needs lots of TLC, but its a lot better than what other people are driving!
I bet you wish you still had that 56 all nice and restored..probably worth a little $$$
I had a 92 when I was 33, only had it for a little over a year. Glad to be back in one.
Here's some global info:
According to research by Specialty Equipment Market Association and Experian Automotive, as of 2009, there were approximately 750,000 Corvettes of all model years registered in the United States. Corvette owners were fairly equally distributed throughout the country, with the highest density in Michigan (3.47 per 1000 residents) and the lowest density in Utah, Mississippi, and Hawaii (1.66, 1.63, and 1.53 registrations per 1000 residents). 47% of them hold college degrees (significantly above the nationwide average of 27%), and 82% are between ages of 40 and 69 (median age being 53)
