I'm 17! My first Vette! My first car was a Ford Explorer,
talk about a joke! hahaha. I wouldn't say I'm "lucky" to have it
though, I did have to work hard to save money up for it. But still.

I bought my red '92 6-speed Z07 three years ago as an early 60th birthday present for myself. I'm now 62, retired, and still in love!

My first vette, first V8.. still think I got an outstanding deal on an automotive icon
First car I owned at 19 was a clapped out VW Beetle, so I really appreciate what this car has to offer

Bought my first 'Vette last year at 60. '93 Ruby 6 spd. Love it! Next one maybe in a few more years a 2003 50th Anniversary Edition w/6 spd. I hear they are easier to get in and out of, going to need that in a couple of years. One fella at work said it is my "Babe Magnet," but haven't had that happen yet, I think I will just stick with "Ruby" for now!
