Default Youngest C7 owner

So we have an "oldest c7 owner" thread, why not start a youngest? I know the new car is supposed to be aimed at younger buyers. Let's hear how old the younger guys are; also would be neat to know what line of work you are in. (personal business, sales, mechanic, etc.)

Anyway, I am 26 and my car was just built last Friday. I am a sales rep for MOC chemicals, which is based out of Pacoima, CA. I distribute product to about 25 dealerships in the Southeast TX area.

I'm 30 and an attorney. It's my weekend [mostly] car.

and as an aside, the threads rarely mean anything because people don't buy cars they can 'afford', for the most part. they buy cars for which they can get financing.

Old man @ 32 here, 31 when I bought the car

Work commodities/procurement/logistics for an energy company near Dallas.

Chevrolet did a great job with the C7 in really bridging all the generations...this car has universal love & support from people of all ages.

Yea I totally realize that, just still neat to see what business others are in.

My guess is that is more true for younger folks than older folks.

For some that stretch things out 5-6 yrs they are young when they buy and old when they make the final.

Definitely more younger people buying the C7's than I saw with the C6's... I'm going on 32 and figured I would be far from the youngest.

I used to joke that when I was in my C6, the cops just assumed I was 65 and didn't want to deal with a cranky old guy, so they let me get away will all kinds of stuff. I suppose I wont be that lucky with the C7...

I don't agree. Most of the people who got hurt in the 08 crash were not in their 20s and 30s.

35 here. So I guess I'm on the old side of young or possibly the young side of old. In answer to the other questions, I work in television promotion and have convinced myself I can afford it if it's my daily driver.

32. Consultant in the healthcare industry. Not a C7 owner quite yet, but have on at status 2000! Had a C6 until 2 weeks ago.

Whenever I go to local car cruise-ins or Vette shows, I feel like I'm always the youngest by 25+ years.

Somewhat in the same boat. I have a '15 C7 at 2000 only I am 63. Bought the car as a retirement gift to myself when I retire at the end of 2015.

Occupation, beside being in software quality in healthcare diagnostics is a curmudgeon - a curmudgeon with 460hp to play with soon too.
