Got my first vette at 18. Had one ever since. 40 yrs. old in April.
When I got my first corvette, I never thought I would be forty!

Bought it at 22 year olds, and I'm 24 now.

The warranty is void, and it's rocking over 540rwhp. Not bad for a youngin'!

As for how I got it... Well, I went to college on academic scholarships, exited college with no debt and some good money saved up, and got myself a well paying engineering job. I budgeted out what I could afford, and decided that I could afford a 2006 Z06. I haven't regreted it once!

You only live once!

Hey I'm not 30 yet. Trying to hold on to the twenties as long as I can. I feel young.

But thanks for reminding me that I am almost old.

...and just before you go to put a deposit on one, you get married, have children, need a bigger house and there's a purchase delay. LOL

That said, jump in as soooooon as you can brotha. As it might be your last chance for a while. Well, for most. My wife and I a few years back wanted child #4. Well...we had child # 4 all right....we got #4 and #5, (TWINS)
