51 yrs

C3 - 1981 Coupe - 4 speed manual - Custom paint, custom interior, high flow cat, Flowmaster Force II Exhaust.

C4 - 1995 Coupe - Dual high flow Cats, Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust, Custom wheels, Stainless polished Intake and Rail Covers. Custom Interior.

C5 - 2002 Coupe - Donaldson Intake, Power duct with Power Coupler, Smoothie Engine dress up (rails, surge, washer and radiator covers) Custom intake (pledum) cover. Maganflow Cat-Back Exhaust, Power tune reprogram, tail light louvers.

I can not get over the age of some of these C5 owners - 20 something? I'd sure hate to pay your insurance bills. I'd rather see you driving a vette then a Ricer .
My fear is some of you young bucks will be trading in the Vette for a mini-van once you get married.

Actually, as long as a 20-something has a fairly decent driving record, these cars are actually cheaper to insure than Mustangs, Camaros, etc. Add to that the ability to find a clean C5 for the mid $20k range...and...well, there you have it.
