My first was a 2002 Torch Red Coupe. I currently have a 2007 Silver Vert. I hope to have a few more if GM keeps making them look so good and perform so well.

Four total

First: 1968 SCCA Solo II B-Prepared roadster; placed 2nd in BP in 1986

Didn't own another vette until 1999 or so and bought a 1994 C4 MN6

Traded the '94 for a year-old 2001 Torch Red MN6. Still have it; wife says that's mine.

Then saw a new Machine Silver '07 A6 which the wife said was her's.
So now she has GRMSVT (gramies vette).

I had to wait till I was 55 (2005) to get my first one; a used 2000 navy blue coupe .

My second one was a year later (2006) and that was a used 2003 AE convertible.

I traded those two for my third and present ride is a 2007 (2007) monty red convertible purchased new. I'm keeping this one a lot longer; I can't afford to buy one a year !

I love the 07 but , I do miss the other two, right up until I hit the start button !

Default I'd like to hand it down.

This my first and I hope to have it to give to my son when he's all grown. He's only 10.

I owned 2 Corvettes a C3, 1977 and my 2006 C6. Wife hated the C3 but loves (until I modded the car) the C6.

Sure wish I could find a nice C4 ZR1 or a C5 ZO6.
