I am 19 been saving money since the age of 16. My dad said he would co sign if he thought i could afford one. So I got a deal on a used 05 z51 a4 3 years later. So yea I like to brag a little on my car. ya I wanted a 6 speed but the price was right on the one I got and love it.
Just don't start a thread with the intention of telling everyone how young you are and have a Vette. Would make you look foolish at best.
I'm 51, the wife also wants to know "When will I grow up".

Now THAT'S great.... a 19 year old who was responsible and motivated enough to save up for his own Corvette without mommy or daddy paying for it. That sure is refreshing. Are you sure you're not really 35+ ?
I'd like to know how many Corvette owners under 25 payed for the car themselves.

Minimum age when ever you can afford to purchase and maitain it with your own money and not because you are still getting free room and board at home.
Maximum age is when you start saying things like I love driving it except it irritates my enlarged prostate.

Any MAN that uses the phrases...
"who needs that much power"
or
"why have a fast car when the speed limit is..."
...an OLD guy
Thankfully or hopefully there are is still a slight possibility of rejuvenation for such a sorry state, it is called the Corvette.

We are all "young" until we have that date with the undertaker.

I had a '61 Corvette when I was 20. I'll be picking up my C6 in a couple of weeks. You're never too old... 
Oh, I'm 58 now.
(Oh, I paid for the '61 myself. My first loan!)

Anyway ..... too old ?
I would say 45 , but if you're bald that goes down to 35 , and if you're fat it goes down to 40 .If you wear a big gold pinky ring , and a tropical print shirt , its already too late .

I would have her chime in on this but she believes it is beneath her to brag.

All her own money. 100% saved her bonds, banked money, babysat, worked part time, designs Myspace graphics the kids get free but everytime they click her site she gets money, and listened to her uncle that told her to invest in gold 10 years ago.

Speaking of websites I helped my dad build a site that started to get alot of traffic and sold for 10k.
