I got mine when I was 34, I'm 36 now.

I bought my first Corvette at 21 though, it was a 1984 model (yes, with the nasty ceasefire injection!)

I'm 23... Bought it when I was 22.... This is my fourth LSx based Car... along with my current '00 SS and I previously owned a '99 WS6 and an '01 WS6.... And like others have said above... I've had no help from my parents... With the exception of the '00 SS I bought this past fall... it's a drag only car I bought with my dad to go racing...

@16 bought a '90 T/A
@18 bought a '93 Z-28
@18 bought a '99 WS6
@19 bought a '01 WS6 (my first new car)
@22 bought a '02 Z06

@23 bought a '00 SS.... (With my dad... 1/2 mine - 1/2 his)
I've had 5-6 other cars in this time frame including a fox body and some other cars... but I only listed the ones that count...

Bought my first Vette(62) in 82 when I was 42. Bought my second Vette(05 C6) in December of 04 when I was 70. I am now 71 going on 49. So, I guess I am the oldest.

Not on this site. I think you will find older guys over on CF.com. Make a post about oiling problems...they love to talk about it.

26 and this is my second Vette. Bought my 2001 ZO6 when I was 23! Yeah most of the older Corvette drivers probably don't spend too much time on the forums. Just a hunch!
