I'm 50 and bought my '07 new in the fall of '06. My first Corvette I still have too! It's a '70 which I purchased in 1985.

I hear you are trading it in for an AUTOMATIC because you can't shift a manual 6 speed

You bought your first vette when you were 55, now you are 25? How'd that happen?

First one last year at 43, a 2008 Z06!
Yes there will be a second one somewhere down the road, but the plan is to keep the original as how can you beat the start I'm off to?

Bought my 1st (of many hopefully) last year when I was 34 (brand new 08). The wife thinks I love it more than her. When we buy her a C3 I'm sure she'll understand.

Default First Vette

I am a woman and have my first vette at 53. When I was younger had a mustang and ordered a brand new 1979 Z28 camaro loaded after graduating college ! But my first dream was always a vette. I so wish I could have had one earlier in my life but very grateful to have one now !
