First time C6 corvette owner at 21 years old without any help from my parents and while currently studying for a college degree following High School. I started working and taking money serious by the time I was 16. Long story short I got some incredible work opportunities at a young age and I definitely could've owned a corvette well before 20 had I managed my money differently. However I'm still glad to own a vette at a younger than usual age.

Well that's easy, don't even need a calculator. Your average age is 66.

Bought my first last December at age 68. But I wanted one since I was 14 if that matters.

Two Vettes, average age would be 51½.



Did anyone wonder if "Jan" from the Toyota commercials was pregnant, because of the tops she's been wearing on recent commercials?

I looked it up and yessir, she's preggo. No news on whether she's married or not.

Purchased my first one when I was 26 in 2009. It was my “yay I survived deployment” present to me.

This one I purchased a couple weeks ago as a belated 35th birthday present to myself.

First Corvette: a new C4 coupe in 1992 -- I was 41.

Second Vette: a new C5 coupe in 2004 -- I was 53

Third and current Vette: a new GS convertible in 2013 -- I was 62. Am closing in on 67 now.
