Where are all the young Vette Owners?

Where are all the young Vette Owners?
My wife and I joined a Corvette club this last spring and have had a great time with it the club is great and the people are great. If we had any complaints it would be that there is only one other couple even close to our ages (I'm 27 and she's 22). What really bugs me is that whenever I go on the forum I see that there are alot of "young" people out there that are Vette owners, that being the case why aren't you joining a club? Do we need to start a club of our own? Come on guys I joined my first club at the age of 20 which was about one week after I got my first Vette and Iv'e never regretted it. Please look up your local vette club and join. If you can't find one E-mail me I have several lists of corvette clubs all around the world.

I'm 22, had my vette since i was 21.
Best friend bought his first vette at 17
another friend who's 23 also has one.
we're in CT!
but most young people cant afford maintenance and insurance on them.

I know the feeling. I am 27, and a member of the Stuart Corvette Club. I have been to a few events and seem like I am the youngest there.

I got my vette at 17, now 21, and I belong to a club. I am usually the youngest vette owner at all of the events. Most of the other younger guys/girls are there with their parents or what not. I think it is also harder for younger ppl with vettes to find the time to join/be apart of a club. I know me for example, I miss alot of the events because of school.

I KNOW! 29 here, going on 6 years w/ my current vette. I mostly come across more "mature" owners. Probably think I'm just some punk :( .

Were 31 and are one of the younger ones in our club as well. There are a group of us young ones though trying to get the old folk into drag racing more. They are into autocrossing more. We still have a great time and could care less about ages. Your onlt as old or young as you feel!
