This one cracked me up. You're investing into a C7 @ 18???

Is your dad Bill Gates or Walter White aka Heisenberg??

And I can only imagine how much insurance is on a brand new Corvette for an 18 year old??

57, this C7 will just be my third Vette. If this one is anything like the C6, this is going to be fun

33. Owned a 1969 convertible and 1975 convertible. Both sold. Looking at pulling the trigger on a used C6 ZR1. Waiting for prices to fall to a level I feel is acceptable to spend. Will admit, I am getting impatient with myself. I am Hitting a significant career milestone soon and will pull the trigger then. God willing.

One day gentlemen, One day! Until then I'll will use you folks as inspiration
I can tell you that when I was 28 I was nowhere near owning a Vette. Now I'm 50 and I've owned my own business since 1997.

Keep your head about you, work hard, Set goals and have discipline. Those things will take you well beyond the point of being able to buy a Vette. After all, having financial security is more important. And there's no reason why your 1st Corvette has to be band new either.

At the end of the day; far sooner than you realize, you'll be old too.

63 and my CRT Z51, Kalahari, NPP, MSRC will be my first Corvette. Really excited and I hope it isn't a birthday present because that would mean waiting to the first day of Winter.
