I'm delighted to see the young guns step up and keep the Vette tradition alive. Welcome to the forum and enjoy!

I bought my first vette when I was 20. It was a beautiful black (repainted) '73 coupe. I sold it to get married.

NEVER make that mistake.

Congrats on the sweet car! I sometimes wonder how ppl your age afford em'... But that's not my business...

I'm 24 now, got mine at 23 and I thought I was doing well for myself. I guess I need to get me a C6 now too!

Hey there, Congrats on the new Vette. I had my first one at 18, was a big block '69 T-top with a 4 speed. Ahhh, those were the days. A little advice, think about new wheels. As good as your car looks, it would be a different car with the right wheels. Again, congrats on your new ride!!!
