My goal was to get one before I got OLD.

I beat my goal by about 4 months, or in other words 29 years and 8 months !! :D

I drove mine for the first time when I was 16.

Had the keys to it since I was about 12.

I bought my '91 as a H.S. graduation present (bought it my self) and my '68 for college graduation (Dad bought it when I was 2yrs old, I'm 25 now). :cheers:

My dad was 18yrs old when he bought his first Vette, a '69 LeMans blue/ black 427BB 4spd convertible in 1968.
