This whole thing started b/c you thought you were breaking some kind of record by being the first 18 yr. old to buy a Corvette. I got news for you kid, there are people in this world that will buy their kids whatever car they want at 16. So stop talking about how young you are and how young your "girl friend" is. No one cares. Instead of spending all your money on a Corvette, go to college, move out, and get a real job.

Fast, but only 60% accurate. I hope that's not how you repair cars.

Sheesh!! didnt mean to ruffle feathers. My initial point was that corvettes are rather expensive and I know how hard it is to delay the pleasure of owning one. I was just interested what the typical vette owners income was and it may seem that some younger folks may jump into owning one when they are not financially ready to do so. I am not judging anyone here just curious. I make around 90k a year and live good. but still a stretch to own a vette at this time. although I think I will order a 2007 when available. thinking maybe silver or black.

Sorry Rodge - I type 90WPM, and it doesn't look that way

Anyways - these pissing contests always seem to follow you around.. Why is that??

Just be happy you're getting the car soon and stop looking for fights.. We're all in this for the same reason, the love of a Corvette

dwilzen, what you have read is the financial obligations lending institutions generally use for house purchase/finance.
