21! That was 1974. All these years later I am on #25 and #26 and plan on keeping that trend going!

I was 21 when I bought this 1965, 43 years ago this week.
I had arrived home from Vietnam 2 weeks earlier.
I paid 2900 cash.



This past April I bought this 1999.
Have had a blast driving it.
Put just over 10,000 miles on it.



It is OK to drive them, right?

Default age for your first Vette

So am I the oldest (70 1/2) around here to have just bought his very first Corvette?

I figured that I am retired, have always wanted one, have college accounts set up for the Grandkids, encouragement from the spouse AND I felt I deserve it.

whaddya think?

I seriously doubt if you are the oldest. Isn't 70 the new 60?
