I'm 52 years old and on my 1st Vette purchased 2 months ago. Had to wait 41 years since I saw my first Stingray and fell in love with it to get one...When younger, insurance payments would have been more than the car payments...then had 2 kids and some of you know what that does to the paycheck...

How Young?
Oh what a night, born late December back in '63. Makes me 40 for 5 more months. Bought my first Vette about a month ago. Have been told that it is my mid-life crisis car. Call it whatever you like its the best lookin' car I've ever had!

I'm 58 and a 2 time cancer survivor. My Vette cruisin' buddies run in ages from 27 on up and it seems like when you own a Corvette age does not make a difference.

I'll be 49 next April, which will put me out of the average age bracket - Should I go ahead and place my order for a C6 before my 49th? I love my C5......... decisions-decisions
