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!

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!
