24 and already wishing I was young again!! My '77 was my first car. Rolled it out of a "lean to" barn when I was 16 years old. It had stopped running soon after we got it and sat in there for about 3 or 4 years. I think my dad had enough of it and was ready to get rid of it...he said if I could get it running, I could have it. Been running ever since!! Before I had my license or registration I used to drive it in our side field which was along the highway. People used to tell my parents, "Saw your kid flying around and doing donuts in your field the other day." Lol... Good Times!!

Wow... I forgot about this thread. So far 150 people responded to the survey.
Looks like the 40-59 year olds have the majority with over 60% being in that range.

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:

ok guys....got the Vette in 75 ( I was 21 ), ol blu was really a newbee. Sold it in 91....big mistake. Bought it back in 02....now I will not let it go again....Almost ready to turn the key...the restoration vortex is coming to an end for the drivetrain/suspension part.
Anybody else out there bought the car back after selling?

I am one of the first baby boomers (6/7/46) and had to wait until just last April to get my first Vette. Now I am making up for lost time. Going to all the local cruise-ins and shows. Went to Carlisle last weekend and had a blast.
