22 here (bought my first three months before turning 22) on my 2nd after totaling my first from a dumb distraction. It was either this or move out, but I'm hardly ever home anyways so said yolo and got the Vette. Don't regret it one bit.

Not you again. We already did the wheel thing recently and your side lost because majority said respect others choices.

I got my first vette at age 35 and then I couldn't stop! They'really like potato chips! Had a c4 95, then a c5 2000 concurrently with a c3 1981 and now c7 2016. Thought I would have the 2000 frc forever (104k miles- it really was a great car) but I just had to have the c7! Absolutely love it - 53 now and can't imagine not having a vette!

Picked up my '04 C5 at 26. Upgraded to the C7 in May 2014 at 29 and offered my parents the opportunity to road-trip it cross-country to deliver to Cali. Needless to say, they jumped on it, loved every mile, and bought the C5 so they could make the trip back! Now they have the fever too!

I'm 41 and this is my first Vette 2015 Velicity yellow 2lt ZF1 M7. I have loved Vettes since I was a kid and almost pulled the trigger about 8 years ago on a C6, but wife didn't think it was practical to have a third car at the time. When the C7 came out I knew I had to have one practical or not. Absolutelty love this car. I really wish there was a Corvette club around here members closer to my age.

It is nice to see and hear from young people who enjoy owning a Corvette and not listening to what people say about the stereotypes.

My hat is off to each of you. It appears to me each of you are young adults and capable of making good decisions.

I was young, age wise, once. I am 55 now. I still feel like I am in my late 20's or early 30's. Time does fly when you are having fun.

I was 36 when I bought my first Vette. I have not bought another brand or model of car since. I am currently own my 4th and 5th Vette. And plan on owning one when I am 85. Good Lord willing.

Enjoy your Vettes youngins'

Long time lurker, this thread inspired me to make my first post!

I'm 29. I got my vette last summer. Spent many years getting an education and it officially paid off when I got the keys! Always been my dream to own a corvette very surreal moment every time I fire it up.

Just picked up my first Vette two weeks ago at 32. Still getting used to the looks and comments that come with the territory, but I'm learning to just brush it off and enjoy the ride.

29 years old here and picked up a C7R in February.........awesome car! I have been drag racing for years with track cars with no creature comforts. It's been a nice change having a street car that can haul the mail
