50, bought my first at 49. Seems like most Vette owners I see around here are older...50+. I should have done this a long, long time ago.

Bought my first vette at age 27. Now it is 11 vettes and 34 years later and I am 61.

I am really glad to see so many young guys keeping the enthusiasm alive.

BTW it's my belief that these cars are like an anti-aging pill. THEY KEEP YOU YOUNG.

I'm 58. Bought my first Vette, a light bronze over dark bronze 85 coupe, when I was 42. Next came a yellow 91 coupe. I now have a 00 FRC that I've owned since 01 and a mag red 01 coupe that I bought in December as a DD.

I am 62 (63 next month) I currently have an 01 6 speed coupe. I bought my first vette in 1968, at the ripe old age of 22 a 1966 big block (427/425) roadster (old school not vert). Then a 77 followed by an 85. I love my C5, but wish I still had the big block. Actually, I wish I still had them all.
