Today I asked many Corvette owners on social media about the different types of Vette owners and receive these interesting replies. Do you see yourself in one of them? If yes which one?
Follow us today...
1. Some Corvette owners like the older models and some of them like the newer models. They say some of them like the older Corvette models from C1 through C3 and some like the newer models from C4 to C7.
2. Waving is another issue that differentiates Corvette owners. Some of them always wave at each other. yet, some others get upset if you don't wave at them. Do you wave at other Corvette owners?
3. Obviously and naturally some Corvette members are males and others are females.
4. Driving habits. There are those who have their Corvette for shows. Others have them as weekend toys. Some use them as track cars and the fourth category category includes those who are the daily drivers. Some Corvette owners say most people will fit in one of these four categories when it comes to driving habits. But the daily drivers have a big challenge. Keeping clean and driving daily is a huge challenge.
5. Some Corvette owners drive their cars and others like to pour money into them to complete them. Some keep them completely stock, others modify them by pouring more money into them.
6. There are those who consider themselves true Corvette owners. They say "a true Corvette owner respects all Corvettes, C1-c7’s. The differences are the owners that drive them and the owners that don’t."
7. Also, there are types of Corvette drivers who, as they say "come and go," mostly with newer Vettes. And there are Corvette Enthusiasts which remain. Some of those people who faithfully remain with Corvette can afford a Ferrari, but they prefer to drive a Vette.
8. There are people who buy a Corvette to show off and give current good owners a bad name. They aren't really car guys, who won't get their cars up over 60 mph, and mostly just own the car to make up for their own personal midlife shortcomings, so they can impress women. They give Corvette people bad, bad names.
9. There are also those who have worked their whole life, raised a family been there for everyone, but themselves, and then they bought their first Corvette. I heard that most Corvette owners are hard working and goal setting folks, who work very hard to achieve their goals.
10. Some Corvette owners are advanced in age. They have liked this car from their youth when they couldn't afford it. They are now in their 70s, own one and still like them a lot. They also meet a lot of good people through their local Vette Clubs.
Don't Miss: See how GM improved C7 Corvette.
11. Apparently some people buy Corvettes because they are middle-aged and go through a mid-life crisis, but as I hear from many other Vette owners, they are middle-aged, do not have a mid-life crisis and yet buy a Corvette they like the car.
12. Oh, there is another type of differentiation too. There are those who wear the black satin Corvette jacket and those who don't. Many owners will probably agree with this.
In conclusion, Corvette owners may be different from one another. "But the thing we all have in common is our love of the Corvettes," wrote Edie, a Corvette owner from Simply Corvettes Facebook group. What matters at the end of the day is the character of the person, the cleanness and pureness of his heart, whether he can forgive or no and if he or she will be willing to stop and help when help is needed. It's such a pleasure to meet such a person.

I bought our 1967 Corvette 10
I bought our 1967 Corvette 10 years ago. After my husband retired it was a well-deserved retirement gift. Still have it, but now have 2 C7s so that we can both drive and get further than 30 miles from home. We just love Corvettes, plain and simple.

I found this to be an interesting article as it touched upon the many personalities and how they were viewed. As the creator of Simply Corvettes I generally tell folks that I am passionate about Corvettes. They are without a doubt and extension of our personalities... Thanks. Waving.

I am not sure which 1 I fit
I am not sure which 1 I fit into but I love all Corvettes. I wave at all Corvettes and get upset when I don't get the wave back. I would help any Corvette owner that's broke down. I do have my favorites most my life I have dreamed of a 69 427/4speed, but now I am older I found my dream car, 07 Z06. I own 6 now and have had c3,c4,c6, on the look out for # 9, my first love a 69.
I appreciate all years. Can
I appreciate all years. Can anyone tell me why GM would debut an American Sports car in Dubai???
They were thinking ahead. I
They were thinking ahead. I don't' like it, but I get it. They knew the mid-engine was coming. Dubai is FULL of rich people and GM wants the rest of the world to see the Corvette as a desirable supercar. No better place for their ultimate goal.
Many, many kinds of people
Many, many kinds of people were members of my Ball State fraternity, yet we were/are all one. Rituals, enduring friendships, shared experiences. Thus it is with the Corvette fraternity.

My first Corvette was a 1957, I am now on my seventh. When driving a Corvette, your driving a legend. How great is that?
Always love vettes since the
Always love vettes since the 50's but was a motorcycle racer/rider. Slowed down at 73 yrs on and on my 2nd car. Go to show but don't enter my daily, don't do clubs as pretty much a loner, do wave. Hot rodding days over a long long time age. Just love the roads less traveled cruisin' in my car.

Bought my 2005 vette two yrs
Bought my 2005 vette two yrs ago. It’s my daily driver and at 72 it was a better buy than a golf cart! For me it’s fun just to take long drives with the top down on back country roads. It’s just a beautiful car and pure American muscle.
I love the feeling of an
I love the feeling of an adrenaline rush, and I get that every time I drive my C7 Z51 Corvette at 100 mph on a curvy road, that is the only reason i own a Corvette.I'm in the zone when I drive and noting else matters, and I can do that every day, period.

Corvette is a symbol of American ingenuity, freedom and always America's first original sports car. Long live our gas guzzling Corvette.
