NEW VET OWNER

[tyrel]

I think it's great for an 18-year-old to get a corvette. I wish I could have gotten one at that age. It's great to have one at any age of course, but to have one at 18, that's killer.

NOTHING with these cars is cheap.

True. But, the same can be said of any car. New tires on my DTS: $500. New clutch on my Pontiac mumblefieromumble: $1100 (yes, I have sold this). New 33" Mickey Thompson tires on my Wrangler: $150 each. At least you're working with Chevrolet parts, not Porsche or Ferrari. Those would cost you an arm and a leg. My '85 Vette has 102K and is very reasonable to maintain as stock. The money drain hits big when you start to do mods. Just enjoy your car (after all, it's a Vette-what's not to enjoy) and if you want mods, check your dad's wallet. After all, what is Dad/Santa for?
