I purchased my first Vette on November 1, 2011 with 11k miles on the clock. I was 27 at the time. Its a 2008 C6 Coupe. Needless to say I love that thing...lol. My girlfriend thinks I love it more than her...i told her if I could have sex with it, she would be OUTTA here. Why'd I do that? I was sex-less for 2 weeks for that comment. Good memories.... cant wait to see what she says after I get that new C7 next year.

1st Vette when I was 20. It was an 07 Monterey Red 2LT coupe. Dad took it because he loved the interior. Now I'm 22 with an 07 Black ZO6 and the mod bug has hit me hard. I'm thankful everyday of what I have and hope to give my children the same amount of responsibility and respect my father has given me.

My first was a 98 Vert. bought used at 47. I sold my two year old Harley for it. My first new one was an 06 coupe one year later,then the new Z two years after that. Now I'm working on another Harley.

First got into vettes in the late 90's when the c5 came out but at age 19 couldnt even come close to affording one. Got my first vette last year at age 33...........2008 Z06 3LZ with 1,700miles on the clock for $52k. It was worth the wait. Truly an amazing car.
