First Corvette
Just bought my first Corvette at the ripe age of 26
. It's been my dream car since I was a little kid. I saw this one on ebay and it was a deal that I just couldn't pass on. Too bad I now have to wait a month before I'll be able to pick it up.
I originally planned on getting a supercharger for the vette I purchased but buying this one put me pretty close to the top of my price limit. So any mods are just going to have to wait.

Just realized I posted this in the wrong section and I can't figure out how to move it.

I bought my C5 at 23 so i know the feeling of being younger with one. Be ready for people to talk lots of **** about your age and having the car. It gets old but at the end of the day i bought it for me and to have fun with it. You got a great car there man with only 7400 miles

Welcome! Nice find! I also got mine with about 7k on the clock, but I was a ripe old 27 when I got it 
Enjoy the car as is for a while before doing too much modding. You'll get a feel for what you do and don't like about it and what needs to be upgraded to meet your personal taste. By the time you save up a couple bucks you may have changed your mind on the supercharger - or maybe not

Congrats on the first Corvette. I purchased mine off of ebay last year and the car is great with no problems, I have also bought and sold 4 Harleys and not one issue. You can get some good deals on ebay and im sure Craigs list. Just do the car fax get about 25 pictures and check it out real good. Good Luck with it!

Congrats!!! Enjoy it in good health (and since you're 26, I hope you've got a gym membership because these cars attract girls like crazy!)
I learned to drive on an 85, but bought my first Corvette when I was 25. Since then I have to beat the girls off with stick. (OK... That sounds funny.)
It looks like that one could use some miles on it. GET TO IT!
