Corvette Performance - J/W how many ppl in there 20's with Vettes

i was just woundering how many younger people have corvettes and what they have done... i just read a post about younger people catching crap for driven a nice car $hit like "take your dads car home" or "what are you a drug dealer" makes me mad... so i was j/w how many younger people had vettes and how there experiences was going (im bored at work)

I got my Vette at 27 (turned 29 in July). But.....bought a brand new 99 T/A at 19. :D

Never had any flak for it.

I'm 21 and bought my vette in April of this year. I'm also a car dealer so I got it at wholesale.

Im 22 and bought mine beginning of 08

o btw i didn't tell you that im 20 now bought my vette at 19 had an 04 GTO b4 that got it at 18... for the most part i don't get bothered just sometimes whn i go away where people don't know me

im 21 got mine three weeks ago before it i had a 00 ta for 3 years no one really ever say anything about age

Got my 02Z when I was 21. 22now
Just have an LGM G5X3, longtubes, Clutch and Drag radials, Installed and tuned by me :)

i had my first corvette at 18, a 85 coupe and everyone thought i was a drug dealer. haha. that was back in 1991:pimp:know at 34 they just think im a perverted old man who checks out the young ladies:pimp:

I'm 24, saved as much as I could the 4 years I was overseas serving in the Navy and now enjoying the fruits of my labor, all 6 gears of them!!!!

23 here. Working on getting a Z soon.

24yrs old and....

I have a 2003 Z06 with 20k miles MINT.... Bought it cash for 30k about 6 months ago, prior to that I had an 2001 Acura CL Type S, then a 2001 WS6 T/a, then a 98 WS6 t/w , then a 92 toyota tacoma, and then a bike....

People give me shit all the time... I am tired of hearing "nice that daddy let you take the car out" I just say f*&% you dont be jealous....

People dont understand that you can be young and make a lot of money. I was making 120k a year when I was 19.... I am 24 now and make 150-160k a year. I like having a nice car, I have an investment portfolio, a house with equity, and of course a nice vette.... Puttin the CAM in this week all thanks to a Overseal Alum company ACH which I bought at 21$ a share 2-3 months ago and is now over $80 a share....

<----24

The only people who make those kinds if remarks are the losers who partied/drank/slacked off too much and can't or couldn't afford a nice car while they were youthful, so pay the remarks no attention. It's a self defense mechanism. Rather than have to admit their faults, people like to make excuses as to why others have things, "daddy bought it" or "rich punk." Just like liberals use terms like "filthy rich" because it implies wealthy people cheated and so liberals then don't have to admit that they simply aren't bright or didn't work as hard as the "filthy" rich people.

Get the car, you won't regret it! :chug:

21 bought my 97 when I was 20....I actually got pulled over a few times because the cops thought i was dealing...sweet....fuck the police....how the hell do you make 120K a year at 19 y/o? I buy and sell cars and go to school full time and could hardly afford my 97

24 right here and i bought my eb z06 6 months ago.

I just got my 04 Z06 two months ago. I'm only 25. I haven't had any problems yet.

i had my first corvette at 18, a 85 coupe and everyone thought i was a drug dealer. haha. that was back in 1991:pimp:know at 34 they just think im a perverted old man who checks out the young ladies:pimp:
lmao, people say that stuff about me too, I'm 21 and in my area not too many young kids actually have good cars w/o drugs and when they ask what I do I say "business" lol throws them off, I'm really a manager at a pizza place lol.

22 here. I bought my first c5 8 months ago. I have owned 12 fbodys though. I work my ass off and my vette is paid for. I get a lot of shit from local ppl saying my parents or grandparents bought the car for me. I say no Im not a lazy piece of $hit like you. If you werent you could be driving one too!

24 and bought my 99vette this year after driving my 96z for 3 years. Just today I had the vette at work and a customer asked the other guy if that was his car becasuse the other guy is 37. When the other guy told him it was mine the customer said oh did mommy and daddy by it? I would have got mad but I look at it this way hes 40 and drives a blah blah everyday car and I get to drive a vette. The other guy at my work even said "he works full time 40hrs a week and does sidejobs on the weekend, so he can spend it however he wants."

you work hard you have to play hard:D

im 19 and bought my 02 zo6 about 5 months ago......i had a couple people try to say that my mom bought it.....but for the most part everyone knows that i work and pay for my vette and my beater s-10 and a house. The bad thing is im always out of town working trying to pay for it! Mine is pretty much stock.......for now

I'm 23 years old and having way to much fun to notice what anybody else thinks of my toys. No matter how old you are, there will always be haters. Although, it seems most people are more interested with the cars than the age, which is the way it should be.

I am 22 and have had my vette for about 6 months, you can see just 2 of my previous cars in my sig, before them was a vortech'd 96 cobra w/ 20k miles @ 18 yrs old, 240sx with SR swap and my first turbo civic while in high school. BTW I am also married with a 1 year old son and just moved into my second house, wouldn't trade that for anything but I must say if my status was still single I would definately have a C6 Z06:devil: I have worked full time ever since graduating high school and it has paid off seeing as I have had/have the title in hand to every car + all the daily drivers that I didn't list up! It's all about being smart with your money because most of you guys probably couldn't survive off of my salary!:nod:

29 for about another 2 weeks lol

Got my first one at 17 .. :D

I'm 18 and jus bought my own '03 Z06 without "daddy's" help. BTW I do get annoyed with stupid comments like that.

Im 22 and bought the Z about a year ago before wrecking my CTSV. I thought the Vette was cheap for 32K for 18k miles. I'm about to get a C6 Z.

I'm 26 bought my O2 Z06 5 months ago.

I'm 22 and I have a 9 year old Corvette. Big fuckin deal. I own the car because I like it, fuck what other people think. No one gives me shit about the car anyway. It doesn't get mistaken for my fathers car since it's loud as fuck and I drive it around on the CCW drag pack most times anyway. The C5 is my street car, the Camaro is basicly a race car with air conditioning. I drive my Dodge diesel pick up more often than the other two combined.

21.....

Im 22 got my first 00 FRC Mint H/C payed cash at 19, now have moved up to my current 01 Z06 built, payed cash, parents had nada to do with either one. Alot of work and dedication, and some good investments got me where I needed to be.

21 here and I just picked up my 2002 Z06 a week ago. Had a 2000 WS6 for a couple years before that. I just work a ton and know what I want. Isn't that hard if cars are one of your top priority. Thinking about getting a custom plate for the Z06...something like "NotDadz"...or something along those lines.

Haven't had many comments about my car and age. Everyone around knows how I am with my cars. I get more comments like...."why would you waste your money on that?" Those get old. If you aren't a car person, you will just never understand.

24yr old. Recent graduate from Auburn University w/ a degree in M.E. Bought my vette brand new and on my own. Its a great car.

I was 17 when i got my camaro ppl thought it was a gift from parents... seems things didnt change when i got my vette at 20 now 21 but i still get the must be nice to live with a silver spoon in your mouth or "wow are you a drug dealer...?"i think the crappiest part is that the cops before asking for license and reg. ask me what i do for a living 99.9% of the time... one time i told him i was a crack dealer and he pulled me out fo the car lol... so note to self dont be a dick to the cops lol...

18 i bout mine one month, stock, 24,000 miles

turned 23 this past august and bought my '99 FRC in this past august

I guess I was a late starter, I got my z06 when I was 28, I'm almost 30 now. I suppose I could have bought one when I was in my early 20's, like some of you, but I decided to by real estate instead. :D

bought my vette last year for my 28th birthday, a nice present for myself. Silver 02 Z06 with 6200 miles on her. Always wanted a vette since my dad has a 69 corvette convertable. Never thought I would ever be able to get one. I love this car and wouldn't trade it for anything, well except a silver C6Z06. I never gotten any crappy comments from anyone. Always had the older guys/ older women come up and talk to me about the car. The best is when they ask you if it is a Z06, I say proudly "Why Yes it is". I will have to say, women love these cars.

seems like the people I have met that their mommy and daddy bought there cars for them were always cocky has hell. Although I really doubt lots of those guys come on here, lol they probably don't even know what a piston means. Weird that lots of C6 drivers seem cocky, not all but I give them the vette wave and they never give one back. Why I have no idea. I had asked on the corvette forum why and all I got were stupid ass comments.

I really don't care if people have something crappy to say to me, I just laugh at them and I am proud of myself for having this car. Seems like everyone here that has posted is very proud that they have a vette.

yea i agree 100% i hate when i give a vette wave and i get on wave back!!! i wouldn't say that all C6 drivers are cocky because im about to buy one lol! the thing you have to remember about the people who's mommy and dady bought there cars don't respect the car as much as someone who works everyday for the car and works overtime so that the can get the cam they want to the blower.... they normally aren't the guys putting 20 hours in the gargde to install headers and X pipe or whatever they have someone do it... but there is some installs i would rather not do myself though.... i love my vette and i will always have one.. and i don't care what people think because i've almost got the care i want and they don't... i'm proud to be 20 with a vette that just shows that i know what to do with money and my credit is better than some 50 year old people but im glad that everyone one on this post loves there cars!!!!!!

<------ 24 with a Millenium yellow built and blown coupe. :)


The girlfriend is a few years younger than me and had a 98 vette before she wanted to go back to a TA

<----- the gf here :) Yeah try being a girl in your early 20's and having one :eyes: Someone at school didn't like that and put gum on it one day :(

(turn 21 on the 13th of nov.) and one of my ex-gf's thought i was a drug dealer for awhile hahahaha

not a vette owner yet though, just a slick 2002 SS

I am 27 and own 2 vettes and a camaro:

73 Vette: Dad bought for $1500 with frozen motor. Swaped in a 71 350 and went autocrossing in 1994. I was given the vette as a graduation gift in 2003. Mods include heavy duty fiberglass rear spring, hooker sidepipes and a lot of weight reduction. Planning on taking the body off and repairing frame and doing other work this winter. Race NCCC 2D class.
