Age 70 was 68 when this fabulous car came along. Up to that point it was station wagons, family vans and economy commuter cars. In 1984 I left the performance car meme and parted company with my 1969 428 Cougar XR7 that was my daily driver from new.

She wants to get into OBGYN and deliver babies, so she would be seeing the other side of that spectrum. Dallas is definitely on our radar and I hear its a great city.

First Vette last year at age 73. 2009 C6 Z51 white coupe. Have enjoyed every mile. The only thing wrong with interstate travel is wanting to get off at every exit so you can get back on!

I am curious to know what age were most of you when you purchased your first Corvette? A lot of guys aged 50 and above in this thread and this for sure can't be your first Corvette's.

As I stated in a previous post I bought my first vette at 31...about 15 years ago.

I had wanted a vette since my best friend in high school and his dad restored a '77 C3. He drove me around in that thing all the time. I thought I was hot stuff.

Also stated elsewhere, I was 23 when I bought a 64 roadster, with 4sp, posi, factory sidepipes, and not much else. Unfortunately, it took another 47 years to own another one. I little math tells you I'm heading for 71. I think.

I bought a '72 in 1990, at age 40.

Bought my first Vette last October at 54. Now a few days from 55. Don't know why I waited so long. This is, hands down, the most fun, exciting, fastest car I've ever owned. And I owned a DeLorean.
