Default your how old???

Hi, I was fifty something when I had a C6, but I bought my first one at 39 and it was a C4. After the C6 I bought another C6 in 2012, i am 65 and have a 2017 GS.My first C6, was an 06,and was a Lemon , I fixed everything I could find that needed fixing because I didn't know about lemon laws. It didn't stop me though not even. At first with the 17' when I realized how much everyone loves this car , I as much as I loved it , felt odd because the car gets so much attention , I am used to it now I drive it everywhere I just love driving my vetts so much , they have always been daily drivers. These are not the best pics I know I am working on that !



IMG 2972 My first and I still have it.

I Love this car. Carlisle Blue 2012 Grand Sport.

IMG 2948This was my lemon, no love lost swapping it.

black rims ..and they are not cracking on me

I am 55.5 and have owned two Corvettes.

The first was a 1987 4+3 I bought in October 1988. I sold it in 1990. (Looked just like this one)


The latest is this 2012 GS M6 I bought last November.


Of course, the years in between were interrupted by kids.

I knew I had an older brother out there somewhere who was enjoying life with a C6.

I wonder what the age breakdown would be for z06/zr1 vs the other models. Lots of good looking cars guys!

Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill

Bought mine for my 60th birthday but I've always had sports cars and motorcycles.

When I was younger, I was into crotch-rocket motorcycles that would run circles around any Corvette. I have owned many different sports cars and muscle cars over the years. I bought my first Corvette when I was fifty. Now that I am pushing seventy-three, I am on my third Corvette.

My current age is 55.
I bought my first C5 at age 40, my second C6 at age 47 and my third C6 at age 54.
Well I'm not on there, not under 39, and not 40 but 39.

It should have read 39 and under, but I couldn't edit it
