EDIT: It's worse than eating candy. Hard to stop with just one and once you try one, you've got to have one around all the time.
Yes! Already planning the C7

* Corvettes between 1962 and 2015. C6 2005 to 2015, now 2015 Z06 and love it as much or more than my 1965. I'm possibly able to squeeze in one more in my lifetime, soon to be 75 yrs old.

My first Vette was a '69 427 Coupe. I was 21 years old. Since then nineteen more Vettes. I have owned/driven Vettes for forty eight years.

65 Coupe' 39 years of ownership so far. Back in 65' I was waiting for the school bus, saw a coupe parked right by me, said "one day I'm going to get one of these" It was my first dream car, it had been my daily driver for many years. Even if the new cars are technologically superior, the iconic styling will always pass the test of time.

I first saw a corvette on January 17 1953 at the Waldorf Astoria (I am the one right behine the girl upper left ) In April of 1960 I purchase a 1953 and kept it for two years. My next corvette was 1963 split window with factory air I had that for 15 years, I then had a 1972 for 8 years I gave that one to my grandson for his 21 birthday, I then purchase a 1994 for my other grandson for his 25 birthday, I have a 1999 corvette for the past 6 years and plan to leave it to my soninlaw when i'm gone.

Bought my first one, a 73 coupe, in 1980. Me and the wife bought a new 81, traded it for an 82. Sold it, then bought an 80. Sold the 73 and the 80, bought a 90 vert. Sold it, bought the same 82 back. Sold it, bought an 01 coupe. Sold it, bought an 05. Traded it for the 06 Z.

9 in all, 8 different cars=36 years give or take a few months here and there
