I think there is a small bunch in the 18-23 year old range, but you whipper snappers often have trouble getting insurance at reasonable rates for cars like this, that I think keeps the population relatively more mature. Well, maybe I should just say "older", because some of the folks here are really immature

Here's the Age of Vette Owners thread- -

No sense repeating ourselves - unless you want to believe you're 18 or 21 all over again?

I thought this seemed familiar...
I could go for 21 again though

Not quite right there. He and his buddy bashed me for about 2 pages when they didn't like what I posted. If I was a brother, I am sure I was disowned! I think the guy is the younger brother of a forum member though, just not me.

Is this the 17 y.o. you're referring to?

My parents do not believe in giving out any financial aid ever so everything here was bought with my own money including the gas it took to drive to Ohio and china grove, NC. Well worth every penny

I had 2,000 saved up from working and dad gave me a pretty nice 84' chevy 1-ton to trade in on it. We painted and restored it together. I still have to do the interior.

Enjoy those good times, they don't last long. It's encouraging to see young guys get their hands dirty and learn something about cars. Where I live, they wouldn't know a 9/16" open end wrench from a pipe wrench.
I can still smell the Lacquer paint from when I would visit my dad at the body shop in the 50's and 60's.

I had my 77 when I was 15. It was worth a million dollars in fun back then.
