Default Possible new vette owner
Tomorrow I should find out if I got the loan for my first Corvette. I found the one I have looking for. Red with black interior 6 speed with super low miles. To say I'm nervous is a huge understatement.

Yes, you are. Dunno how old you are, but I was like that when I got first one this past October...and I've been driving for 48 years. Good luck and enjoy it!

Good luck. Tell them that if they give you the loan, you'll pay for their first years membership in Corvette Forum

I know the feeling. I'm 49 years old and I had a hard time going to sleep the night before picking up my vette. It was alot like the night before starting a new job. Best of luck to you on the vette.

Best Wishes.... Just got my first Vette in May at age ..... well lets just say it was my time. Better late than never. Funny how things change with time. Earlier in my life I couldn't afford it. At this age it was a matter of how many years I would still be able to get in and out of the car....
