How is insurance for you 20 somethings?
I'm 26 with a good record and no accidents and am seriously considering a C5. But I'm afraid to call up my insurance company and ask them what it'll cost for full coverage on a $20k+ sports car.

should of made a poll, either way i'm 20. have a 02 Z06
had to beat the system so i can afford this car, its a "company car" so my insurance is only $100/mth and had to get rid 2 of my other cars. not a bad sacrifice

seriously what do all you teenagers do for jobs to get all this money for a vette?whatever it is i need to get in on it. I have worked all year round since 7th grade and i had barely enough money for my 1999 Firebird V6, i cant imagine how one could afford a vette let alone a newer z06, unless mommy and daddy helped..

There's no credit when your young, lol. Not many good jobs at 18 either.
And you can live at home.
I have two children. I would of had one years ago, but impractical for me right now.
Of course, I could use it for a weekend warrior. 
I got a 22 year old brother. He has a good job and he's going to buy a viper or the new vette. I talked him out of it. Told him to buy a house first. He's listening to me.
I told him trust me on this one, plenty of time for a viper/vette later on.

oh well expensive hobby and i love it... good thing i got a new job lol.

I'm 34 and as of April this year I have a 99 TR M6, my first vette.
I'm one of those cops that ask about driving daddy's vette, but really only because it gets such a rise out of the yougins. I think its great if your parents buy you a nice car or great car, as long as you appreciate it and treat it and your parents great. I can't say to much anyway my wife bought me mine.
For the youngins that pay for their vettes, more power to you I think it is great.
