Hey everyone! I was just wondering what age did you Pay for your first Vette? I'm 19 and recently bought mine after a long year at work.

@Zone never indeed i like your way of thinking. @Ken jump from a Harley to Vette must have been a tough choice

No reason you can't have both.

Bought my '96 when I turned 50.
My Street Glide is worth more than the Vette though.

From 22 year old to 53 I have had 4 Vettes. The 68 and 72 were financed, the 84 and 88 were paid for with cash. Cash is the best for a hobby.

Severe back injury made me do it. I have no problem getting in the vette i just can't get out of it . Once i'm in i can't find a good reason to get out anyhow.
