29, a month ago. Spent a bit of time of F bodies and on um... early saturns... Hey...they're lightweight, high RPM cars.

was never that interested in vettes until I saw a c4, hood opened up looking mean, loved the old style interior, the roomy hatchback, room for six speakers throughout the car, removable top, not very prone to rust, last generation car, perhaps the only race bred style over that able to decently fit both small block/big block engines. And NO one, and I mean no matter how little you know about cars will ever question what kind of car this is after seeing the rear of these early c4's. Pure corvette! List goes one as to why i suddenly caved in for a c4.

21, now 24, I'm keeping my 93 forever, so many stories from older folks about the "first." Hope to add to my stable and own many more.

My boy says I bought my car back in the stone age. It was closer to the bronze age. I was 22.

I was 22 when I purchased my first Corvette, back in 1981 - a 1964 365HP Convertible.
