I'd also add BM (Before Marriage). That way when you meet here your Corvette is a "pre-existing condition." An incurable disease that you cannot remove.

I did the most responsible thing I could do when I graduated form college...... I bought my first C6 at 22 years old, I turned 23 a few month ago. You only live once, so might as well enjoy it to the fullest!

I'm 63 and I agree with you! Enjoy it all while you're here on earth 'cause you ain't taking it with you.

I bought my C6 when I was 70. I am now 73 and enjoying it.

I bought my first vette for my 37th birthday last month. I've owned more expensive cars, always wanted a vette though. It was practicality that held me back, but I'm glad I finally got one, love the car.

36, same exact story here. I ended up buying the boat in my avatar 5 yrs ago instead of the vette. Now I can finally look at keeping the boat and adding a new vette to my collection soon.
