Default Younger Corvette owners!

So I have always wanted a corvette since I was a kid. The c6 was the first model that I really considered buying. When the C7 came out I knew i had to have it. Go big or go home for my 30th birthday I picked myself up a 2015 z06.

I am curious as to how many others there are near my age! 👍👍😁

27 here. Intended to be used as a daily driver, so I decided on a 3LT Z51 (fully loaded) over a Z06.

there's plenty more than you think

Bought my C6 at 29. Supercharged it. Bought the C7 at 31 for my wife. Rode with both. Sold the C6 two months ago and now daily drive a wicked GTR at 32.

Yes there's plenty of us young ones having fun. We daily drive both of these cars because YOLO.


The new and the old...

I was a younger Corvette owner. I was going on my 22nd birthday when I bought my first Vette, but that was 61 years ago.

No sir, it is WE who commend YOU. I must say, your black rims are quite exquisite a far more tasteful choice than Chrome.

Bought my first Vette at 25 yo. That was a C4. Replaced that one with another C4 a few years later. Returned back to the Vette family in my old age of 49 with a '14 and now a z06 at 51. Age has little to do with what you drive. It is attitude. I also have a lifted Jeep Rubicon Unlimited which is supposed to be a young persons car and a more adult STS-V when I need to look the part of a 51 yo.

31 years old...

Been though many, many awesome cars but never bat an eye at a Vette until the C7. It was the first gen I ever even considered, and i'm very impressed despite the expected fit/finish crap.

With black wheels.
