Got my '67 (in '69) at age 20, and then after a LONG DRY spell got my '94 a couple years ago for one of those "milestone birthdays" that ends in a "0". You do the math...

I'm 29 (will be 30 in October this year ). Bought my first vette 2 years ago (the black '93 i have), then bought a white '90 ZR-1 in April of this year. The Z unfortunately doesn't run yet, I bought it with a busted timing chain, but got the car for a very good price (under $7k).

The '93 has been a blast to drive, can't wait to be able to drive the Z!

ruined the engine by losing all the oil after an oil pan gasket mishap at 18.
learned how to build a stroker from an SBC with 6 spun rod bearings at 19.
discovered the smell of burning wiring at 19.
learned how to rewire an 86 vette, make a gauge pod, exhaust, install a wideband, lower it at 20
learning how to tune the holley commander ECU I have, prolly be done that at 22 :P
