When I was a teenager I got to drive a C4 on loan from the local Chevy Dealer who went to my church and I have wanted one ever since.

There was an ad in Motor Trend that said, "If you've wanted a Corvette since you were a kid - - -you've waited long enough!"

in 1974 at age 23- I traded the `73 Grand Am my Dad gave me after undergrad on a red 64 air coupe - I think the same car may be for sale in the C2 section.

Great stuff, don't know what I like best when one of you had wanted a Corvette since you were real young and gets one or the mature man that gets one in his 60's.

After 3 tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa, I was able to get my first Vette, an '09 Z06. It was also a gift to myself for my 26th birthday!

I think I was around 25. The car was a '78 in not so great condition. Got my second one at 38 or so, it was a 2003 Anniversary Edition.

Back in 2006 when I was 35, I bought a 2003 MY Z06 for $35k with 1,800 miles on her. Sold it in early 2009 and bought my current 2006 Z06 w/ 8,900 miles in December of 2009 for $41k.

Admired Corvettes since 13yo but always found a reason to put it off.

Finally gave in to a 2011 Callaway at 46.
