We all remember our first, don’t we? Given the demographics of the typical Corvette owner, I felt pretty accomplished buying my first brand-new FRC at 31. And I’m sure glad social media and Facebook weren’t a thing back in 1999, because I would not have kept my cool if some of the comments below had been thrown my way. Meet Reynaldo, a young man who’s proudly celebrating his first brand-new Corvette on a popular C8 Facebook page. It begs the question though, is this young man an inspiration to kids or setting a bad example on how to spend money?

Before we get to his age, this is how the proud new owner introduced himself to the community.

So, just how young is Reynaldo?

19!

And how did he put himself in this position?

Then we have the party poopers who make it a competition

Mostly a positive reaction from the community

But this guy set up all the rules for Reynaldo to meet to be proud

Well done Reynaldo for showing grace and being humble despite Josh doubling down with his “proud rules.” So, when did you buy your first brand-new Corvette?
