28, bought my '02Z 6 months ago I guess...

Regretfully, my wife and I are both addicted now. There is no talk of getting rid of mine... more like my wife wants one for herself! (She kills me, wanting a white C5Z... had to be rare!)

I'm 52 and my 1997 is my 11th Vette. I got my first, a 1959 fixer-upper in 1972 when I was 15 1/2 for $800. I paid for it mowing lawns for all the neighbors. At $2 per lawn, it took awhile to pay off.

31 here, purchased first Vette at 29. Latecomer, I know... but had to buy a house and a truck first... Vettes don't work well as DD's in Alaska!

Also, I wasn't even aware I WANTED one until i was about 28.

Bought my first one when I was 18, it was a '69 big block T-Top. Bought my second one in '99, a '91 'vert. Bought my current car, a '98 'vert in '03, when I was 45. I guess that makes me 50.

I'm 50 and was pretty much into bikes since I was in my early 20's. Vette is much safer.
