I'm 54 OK, not enough old guys spoke up, I was over on CF talking about oiling problems. When I was 17 my best friend bought a 66 BB roadster we did everything in that car. I have had several Vettes, 67-68 Camero's, 55 Chevys, just sold my NHRA Super Gas car. Bought a 2000 FRC Vette and will mod the hell out of it, I have had more hotrods than most of you have had years alive. I'm proud of all you young guys keeping the spirit alive.

Wow glad to see you still on here. Powell is turning your old car into a bigger monster!
Bought my corvette when i was 20 and now in 23. Will be paid off in a 3 months. Not bad IMO. 2 cars paid off by the age of 23.
Then its time to start saving up for a new z06.

It would be a real shame to waste such a sweet car.

I was knocked out the car scene for two years by changing job turmoil, but then had a blowout year in my work, hence all the toys in my sig. I never did forget my V8 roots, though, and jumped back this way hard once I could.

I'm 43 and will turn 44 this year. I bought my first Corvette when I was 35, I'm on my third. 94' C4, 99' FRC, 03' ZO6. Yes the Z is the fastest I've had, but the 99' FRC was making 390rwhp when I traded it. For a while, I think it would have definitely been trouble for the ZO6 until I modded the Z in a drag race anyway

20 years old, I live alone and have no support from my family in anyway shape or form. I'm also a full-time student, 3 story townhome with heated garage for my baby, and plenty of my own debt.

Anyway, I'm 52 and have owned 4 Fbodies over the years. First car was a year old 68 Firebird 400 4 speed, next car was a new 73 Z28 RS LT. I bought a 94 Z28 new, then an 01 Z28 used. Well, at 52 years of age, I figured I finally got too old for Fbodies and I ordered a C6 Z51 A6 coupe about 3 weeks ago. I'm flying out to Bowling Green to see it built next Friday. I can't wait!
35. I'm on my second Vette and my Wife is on her first.
My first Vette was a 72 Stingray red /blk interior, that car was alot of fun.
Insurance on both cars is $1900.00 a year.
Oh yeah I have the titles to both cars.
My next Vette will be a 07 ZO6.
