Well technically I have yet to BUY my first Vette. About a year and a half ago my Dear old Dad gave me his project Vette. So my free 86 Base Automatic at 44 years old!!! Perhaps at 45 I will buy a C6

51 years ago I got my first vert...a C2. They sure stood out back then. I was a young 24 year old whippersnapper. I've owned 6 since. All bought new. I'll probably drive into the sunset with my '90 roadster.

27 when I bought my first Vette; a 75 Stingray L48. I just bought my second one, a 93 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary and was able to keep both without the wife saying a word. (I am still at a loss with that, lol)
