All those years ey? You've only been able to drive for 4. But good luck with the Corvette, sounds really nice. I was also in the market for one when i came upon my Z. Dont regret my decision in the least.

A Z, an M3, and a Corvette all by the time you were 20? Someone call the feds, sounds a little fishy.

Enjoy, and don't get too crazy.
thats one thing i coudnt get used to is the build quality of the interior, the z is nothing to write home about but its still a far cry to that GM quality

I bought a house at the age of 20 and had 3 cars at the same time. 350z, mustang, and honda accord, it's possible.

Please don't turn this into one of those threads! Plus, the Honda Accord and Ford Mustang don't cost near what an M3 and a C6 cost....

If I was I'd gladly try to help you out, but the dealer I bought it off of actually is buying it off me for $4200.

Thanks for the good advice, but I am hoping my business will continue to flourish, and by that point I will have upgraded to my dream car (Lambo Gallardo). Might be a pipe dream, but if business continues how it is it should be more than doable.

Thank you sir, I'll enjoy it while being careful.

Well, I meant I've wanted a corvette since I was like 6-7. I used to call them "Chevrolette's" back then. And all three vehicles have been used when I've bought them, not like i'm paying the "new" price tag. The M3 had 40k miles on it and was an 03, the Z had 20k miles on it and waas an 03, and the corvette has 13k miles on it and is an 07. I run my own online affiliate marketing company, and that's where all this money comes from. I've gotten really lucky, and pay cash for these vehicles. Aside from that, i'm at college on a track scholarship so I don't really have many/any expenses. Food/alcohol, entertainment, cars/insurance. That's about it. (Apartment and most food is covered by scholarship). There are many my age much better off, but I'm happy with my life

Hate to have your Z go, but mine just went up a tad in value.

You'll have lots of fun with the vette. I've had a lot of seat time in a C5. Fun cars. Remember that the power is surprising and you'll feel less in touch with it than in the Z. In my experience it drives a lot like a buick until you drop the hammer...then...whoa. Have fun!

Not sure I'll enjoy the corvette community quite as much as this one, seems like 90% of vette owners are much older than myself. (I'm 20).

damn bro. you havent own a z for more than a year yet, assuming that u joined the z forum when u first bought you Z. I like corvette too but it looks too plain. The Z is sexier but corvette is much faster... good luck bro.


what you do for a living bro? 20 y.0. damn

Both are damn good looking cars. Congratulations.

Are you buying the C6 off of Ebay? They take deposits? I've never put a deposit on a car, and I'm on my 21st car and 3rd motorcycle (not kidding). I was, however, old enough to drink when I bought my first Z car. I also have taken no-shirt pictures in front of that Z car while in college.

Good luck with your business, just make sure you finish college.

wasn't trying to make it one of those threads. It is just that when a young person succeeds in something someone always has to make a comment about it being suspicious. I also realize that a honda accord or a mustang isn't as much as an m3 or c6 but i guess you missed that i had a house also, Fail. Anyhow, nice collections of cars and keep doing your thing and finish up college.
