I was 19 and it was a 74 L48. Wasn't impressed so I instead got a 74 L82 4 spd. That was a fun car, but loving the 96 Lt4 I have now.

20. I was lucky, I lived at home and had a good Union job. I really wish now as much as I love the car , if I could go back in time I'd invest the $25,000 in Micro soft.

Now I'm 49 and still own it. No WAY I can afford a new Vette now with a mortgage , 2 Kids college bound , and monthly payments on the Volvo for the family.

27. Grew up dreaming of owning one. Mom bought me a Vette magazine subscription in junior high and it did nothing but fuel my dreams. Last month I sealed the deal on a beautiful 1996 LT4 coupe. Pretty sure I'll never give this one up, but now I'm dreaming about #2......
