I bought my first one, brand new 02 Vert 6spd car off the showroom floor in 02 and I was 26. I had already had 2 homes and a few rentals by then and the kids college funds started and 7 other cars, 2 motorcycles and a pair of jet skis . 3 years later I bought my Viper when I was 29.. I bought my current 02 supercharged Z 2.5 years ago when I was 31.. Up to this point, (mid 30's) I have had over 45 cars, since 17.. Has been a fun ride but I've taken care of other priorities before I continued to add to my toy box!

I am 44 and on my 4th vette. c5 MY favorite right behind chrome bumper c3s. I was 28 when I brought my first vette. My buddies tell me Corvettes are midlife crisis cars. I must have been in a midlife crisis when I was about 6 and saw a chrome bumper c3.
