First post in LS1tech for me~!~
long story short - Got a 94 vette for my 16th bday, got in a wreck at 17 by a drunk driver and totaled my car, got 7k for it, took that money and some saved up money with the help of my dad, bought an 01 vette for 14k with 33k miles but interior and exterior in terrible, TERRIBLE condition. Spent 2 years fixing it up our selves and finally off in College going to be a sophmore at Texas A&M University and it's looking good! pics comming soon!

20 with an 01 z06, 98 cobra built and blown, and a fully restored (by me) 69 charger R/T 493 cid 4 speed. Yes I paid for them, with some help from dad. He helped me get financing. Its cool to see I am not the only guy my age with a vette, I am so sick of the **** I get from older people when they see me driving this car.
Kinda off topic but what do you younger guys who actually pay for your car do for a living?
Later,

Vette 48 going on 18. I bought my first vette about a month ago, modified 2000 FRC with very low miles. I also have a stroked 93 Camaro Z28 and it's faster than the Vette, but not really very fun anymore as a daily driver. The Vette is fast smooth and comfortable, a big plus for a man of my age.

well i am 22. I paid out the door 18k for my 97 C5 M6 with 60,000. on it. I am a Hvac tech. I live at home still, just until I pay off my bike. ($1500.00 left) then I will be looking to save for a year and move out. I figured there are 2 kinda of vette owners. The young ones, who can afford it before the big expenses of life, then the older vette owners. after kids are grown up, and what not.
