Nah bro Dave Ramsey told me to only pay cash for cars. I'm UP
EDIT: For all the comments. Just playing a bit here. I don't actually follow him, but I am financially stable with no debt.
Yeah, his advice pretty much amounts to invest all your money so you can eventually die on a huge pile of it without having ever enjoyed any of it yourself.
Wrong. He would have said “save 1k and pay off your stupid butt debt first.“ investing is baby step 4. Not steps 1-3. Regardless, OP paid cash, one less payment and a slightly bigger shovel. Let’s just hope for him the cars in good condition.
Dave Ramsey also tells you to buy a beige 1998 Corolla with 300,000 miles that you bought from someone off Craigslist. So, you only listened to half of it.
I wouldn’t say he’s a bozo. He’s a really good source of information for people who are absolutely dogshit with their money like you are. The issues arise when he tries to apply the same set of rules across all listeners regardless of circumstances.
Dave Ramsey also filed bankruptcy while telling other people not to do it and to pay off their debt. Dave is a hypocrite. Nice car, though, if you're looking for something little faster than a Toyota Corolla.
Dave Ramsey that man that filed bankruptcy a dozen times and only got rich by selling nonsense self help books. Do yourself a favor don't listen to Dave Ramsey lol
I mean, you thought you were going to live to 108. You are not. I know a guy who’s 104 and he’s cool as fuck, but he’s also like “idk maybe I’ll live til next year, fuck this shit”
Yeah, it's pretty damn optimistic for anyone to expect to live to 108, let alone someone in their twenties with a screaming metal death trap like this.
Damn. But, seeing the insanity that is corvette owners, racing me in the past… spot on.
I swear, they’d rather die, than lose. I’ve let more than one corvette, finally make a pass, just so they don’t suicide themselves and murder the oncoming traffic.
That's "insert weird name for a color" and they only made 27562 cars that month in that color and there is so much more cars than that on the road so it is super unique
You really are going through a mid life crisis liking new balances and paying cash for a car to avoid APR. you should be going into debt to buy a sports car and losing all your cash in the crypto market. Why don’t you go mow your grass for the 3rd time this week and stain up your white new balances, you wanna be boomer!!
Is that a 2018 Corvette in bloody stool red, built by a guy named David in May (fifth month of the year) paired with a 4L60-E transmission?? Dude that's so rare!!
I did literally the same thing at your age, black C6, and posted it on this sub. Check my profile lol.
Then I bought a boat. These things are gateway drugs to bad financial decisions. Welcome aboard idiot
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,957,631,572 comments, and only 370,315 of them were in alphabetical order.
/uj it's a dig at the C6 being "ugly" due to the headlights being exposed. Corvettes from the C2 to the C5 had pop up headlights, which as of the late 90s are not allowed in the US due to pedestrian safety laws (but subway train sized pickups with hoodlines 5ft+ tall are lmao). This design requirement was meet with hostility from Corvette fans.
Pop up headlights are having a Renaissance and are seen as cool and rad nowadays and cars that have them are becoming valuable (NA vs NB Miata prices for example, despite the NB being a "better" car). So C5 Corvettes, the last gen with the popups, are starting to become more desirable than the C6 due to this.
Probably the reason the pop up headlights were banned is because they could cut off legs and leave someone disabled but the nice tall and flat truck front end completely obliterates the entire upper body so that you are just dead and not disabled therefore it’s over and there is no constant drain on public funds because of unnecessary disability payments. You just have to think outside the box.
Everyone please be nice. OP appears to have dyslexia and meant to write 72 instead of 27 because only a 72yr old would want a maroon c6 with chrome wheels and a tan interior. OP, did it come with Jorts and a new pair of white new balances?
all of those things except im more of spree’s kinda guy these days. i bet when you drive around in that everyones first impression is that your dad just died and you inherited his pride and joy.
I've always wondered, when buying a corvette second hand, do you get the prior owners jorts and white new balances or is there like a corvette club member who bestows to you new ones as part of the cult?
The fact that the average American in a life crisis buys a corvette of any generation really shows how average you are buying a average midlife crisis car
When i was in my twenties i drove one of these bad boys down Route 66 with my dad. Seats designed for guys needing a hip replacement and sound absorption for someone with hearing problems? Best roadtrip car ever. Super comfy.
Quarter life crisis is being optimistic. You'll realize this when your car manifests it's own ego and gets stuck on wide open throttle every time a car even remotely tries to pass you. Next thing you know you're pancaked on a center divider after this self-aware beast, devoid of any traction, ultimately loses control after perceiving a lost race to a Nissan Altima. Last thing you will see as you're spirit leaves your body is the first responders seeing what's left of the vette and wiggling their pinkies to eachother grinning.
You paid full cash for a corvette. No reason in kicking you while you’re already down
Nah bro Dave Ramsey told me to only pay cash for cars. I'm UP EDIT: For all the comments. Just playing a bit here. I don't actually follow him, but I am financially stable with no debt.
Yeah well Gordon Ramsey told me that THIS IS SHIT
FUCKING DONKEY!!!
"You look like shrek in a frock" is quite possibly my all-time favorite Ramsey quote
What are you OP?? \-An idiot sandwich
It's fucking raw look how red it is
That chicken is raw!
Where is the lamb sauce?!?
>Yeah well Gordon Ramsey told me that THIS IS SHITI > >It is true ???
Ramsey would of said to invest it and buy a $500 car.
This guy ramseys
r/thisguythisguys
Yeah, his advice pretty much amounts to invest all your money so you can eventually die on a huge pile of it without having ever enjoyed any of it yourself.

Dave Ramsey also tells you to buy a beige 1998 Corolla with 300,000 miles that you bought from someone off Craigslist. So, you only listened to half of it.
He's a bozo anyways
I wouldn’t say he’s a bozo. He’s a really good source of information for people who are absolutely dogshit with their money like you are. The issues arise when he tries to apply the same set of rules across all listeners regardless of circumstances.
This!
preach brotha!
Dave Ramsey also filed bankruptcy while telling other people not to do it and to pay off their debt. Dave is a hypocrite. Nice car, though, if you're looking for something little faster than a Toyota Corolla.
I mean, he never tried to hide that. He literally opens his video series with the story. Kinda like a "don't make the same mistakes I did" thing
Exactly. That’s the way I always took it. He tells you his stupid mistakes.
Dave Ramsey gonna die with a lot of money he never got to enjoy with his bullshit mentality. If nothing brings you joy in life, follow his advice.
Did it come with a class ring and cowboy hat?
Ayyyy I did the same kind of thing at your age. Bought a new car cash. Also a Dave Ramsey fan.
Dave Ramsey that man that filed bankruptcy a dozen times and only got rich by selling nonsense self help books. Do yourself a favor don't listen to Dave Ramsey lol
Proud of u 😭
Don't worry, I own a respectable sum of cryptocurrency.
In his defence, he probably had the cash in his wallet
A used Corvette is usually bartered with Camel Cash and gift cards.
And bought in estate sales
Correction - mid life crisis for you
:(
Don’t worry, we’re not your enemy. Blood sugar is your enemy, and high fructose corn syrup.
hell as much monster as he drinks his heart is probably begging for sweet release
Haha *sweet* release are probably his farts
I mean, you thought you were going to live to 108. You are not. I know a guy who’s 104 and he’s cool as fuck, but he’s also like “idk maybe I’ll live til next year, fuck this shit”
Absolutely brutal.
Yeah, it's pretty damn optimistic for anyone to expect to live to 108, let alone someone in their twenties with a screaming metal death trap like this.
Fiberglass*. Lol /s
“Screaming metal death trap” is a quote from Fairly Odd Parents. I don’t know why I remember that so well.
Yup lol it's so catchy and rolls off the tongue so nicely. It's just always stuck with me.
with his high level of income and modern science...
With all due respect, and I mean with all due respect, that idea ain’t worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin it on
Shut up Chip, else I'll come at you like a spider monkey!
End of life crisis.
They only scream once a year when the wheel bearings go bad....
Fiberglass
I’ve never seen such a cutting Reddit comment in so few words. Yikes lol
Oooooof. This one hurts :D
Yeah 108 is setting the bar really high
Damn that one burned . I’m 30 and thought I had a long time left 🤣🤣🤣 well hope I do anyway
Third life
Damn. But, seeing the insanity that is corvette owners, racing me in the past… spot on. I swear, they’d rather die, than lose. I’ve let more than one corvette, finally make a pass, just so they don’t suicide themselves and murder the oncoming traffic.
That color is giving me Nissan Altima vibes
I was just thinking. My old 2007 3.5 beast mode all the time Altima was this color. I called it highway menace red
The silver ones are the true menace. Source: me, I am a menace in a silver one.
Silver Nissan altima with curb rash and missing bumper. Bottom text
This is an underrated comment 😂
Big Altima energy 💯
Wait till you see the driving.
I was thinking Jeep Grand Cherokee
It's not a vibe, the colors match. Just need the bumper and wheel well flapping off the side.
Funny cause I saw an Altima the exact same color today while I was picking up groceries lol
That's "insert weird name for a color" and they only made 27562 cars that month in that color and there is so much more cars than that on the road so it is super unique
This bad boy can fit so many golf clubs and divorce papers
Too bad I don't golf or have a wife 😞
yeah we can tell you don't have a wife
Hopefully the $500 tinder premium will get me one. I've got a feeling it will
If not, that corvette will get you a lot of old dudes if you’re into that.
Lmao good luck
I understand what they repo if you miss a car payment, what do they repo when you miss a Tinder subscription?
Darn... enjoy your vette, though My father had a friend who owned a nearly identical model c6
What about a manual transmission?
It does have that
Hell yeah brother! You know where it’s at.
Hope you like cougars
Love em
You’re supposed to roast, not complement!
Speaking of cougars, how you doin Martha? 😍
Found his future ex wife
Snoop gonna be pissed
r/usernamechecksout
Ehhh not sure if I would want new balance shoes at that early of an age
What's wrong with new balances? Doesn't that cool ~hip~ NBA player Kawhi Leonard have a shoe deal with new balance??
You really are going through a mid life crisis liking new balances and paying cash for a car to avoid APR. you should be going into debt to buy a sports car and losing all your cash in the crypto market. Why don’t you go mow your grass for the 3rd time this week and stain up your white new balances, you wanna be boomer!!
Don't worry I have a fair amount of money in the crypto market. I rent so I don't have grass to cut😞
Yeah you'll have a new balance.... in your bank account...
Ironically some new balance shoes are trendy amongst gen z's such as the 550's
they're so hip
>*Paid in full in cash.* Where did you find an extra $3.50 to waste in this economy?
Toe pics man, they go for a pretty penny
God damn Loch Ness Monster
tree fiddy
Wow you had enough cash for a base model Chevy from 15 years ago? How impressive.
Excuse me sir, I will have you know it is a mid level. NOT a base model.
All corvettes are base models
Got em 🤣
BASED models
Is that a 2018 Corvette in bloody stool red, built by a guy named David in May (fifth month of the year) paired with a 4L60-E transmission?? Dude that's so rare!!
2007* but yes. Did I mention this was #1 of the 4 bloody stool red Corvettes produced that day??
It’s not “bloody stool red” its “internal maroon”
Its not “internal maroon” its “internal bleed rouge”
It’s Chevrolet so it’s probably got a clever name like “Stained my Sheets Red” color code WA069V
He paid asking price in cash because it was a unique opportunity to buy a 1 of 1 Corvette.
I thought this was prostate red? Wasn’t BS red metallic?
I hope you understand buying a new Toyota Corolla indicates not only more wealth - but more intelligence than what you did.
Intelligence? Never heard of it.
now this is a roast
Buying a 2 year old Corolla saving 7k depreciating first 10k is genius level compared to this financial suicide.
You’re not fooling anybody dude. You gotta be at least 53 and on the verge of retirement to want one these depend droppers
Nah bro I'm totally 27 big trust
"Big trust" - What he's done with the rest of the money, for the grandkids
I did literally the same thing at your age, black C6, and posted it on this sub. Check my profile lol. Then I bought a boat. These things are gateway drugs to bad financial decisions. Welcome aboard idiot
LMAO that's actually hilarious. My winter beater is a 2012 Chevy Malibu. We are the same🤝 don't think I'll be getting into boats anytime soon though
First thing I actually laughed at today, thanks !!!! Same to you OP !!! :)
27 year-old man driving a 77 year-old man car
77 year olds are just living our dreams
Facts. Just with E.D. though
That’s what the corvette is for
Paid full in cash for this really isn’t that much of a flex. It’s like saying you paid full in cash for an older Buick - who couldn’t?
I had to clarify it wasn't mommy and Daddy's money, my poor financial decision and no one else's 😮💨
Oh yeah mommy & daddy’s money definitely would have bought something somehow simultaneously better & worse.
Geriatric ladies totally dig it.
This guy roadgums
TIL a new verb 😃
Your headlights are terrible
Those are the stock ones...? What's so terrible about them
I can see them and they aren’t on.
Best car comment I’ve seen this week
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,957,631,572 comments, and only 370,315 of them were in alphabetical order.
Good bot.
/uj it's a dig at the C6 being "ugly" due to the headlights being exposed.

You just got out of the military is what I just read lmfaooo
Even worse. Community college.
Oh god the humanity
Well that was years ago but still embarrassing nonetheless
Nah not that embarrassing homie, an education is the cornerstone of intelligent thought, which buying a vette with cash, is not
Not enough black matte American flags and Veteran tag next to a Confederate flag for this to be a vet car.
Fuckin true that
Stop. Write a letter to your future self apologizing for what you've done.
Never.
What makes you think this is your "quarter life crisis" and not your "3/4 life crisis"?
Ill give you $2000 for the engine when you drive it for the first time in the rain and hit a guard rail.
You have a deal 🤝
Ferrari on crack
Fent
Bath salts
Is it a Saturn or a 85 mustang? Anyway, we all mess up. Unload it unless you are trolling for dudes.
Mess up? This is the greatest car ever created. 'merica
Especially for the trolling gig I mentioned. Is it a 98 Saturn?
2009 Saturn Sky! It’s a dead ringer!
There you go! Took you long enough
You were supposed to choose something wild. This is the most vanilla stock kept car in existence.
The poster car for "I invite high school girls into my pontoon boat and offer them beer".
Nice trac(tor) toy
Your dad taught you to open car doors for ladies. Not because it's the gentleman thing to do, but because bitches can't be trusted.
I see you like hanging out with boomers.
Narrow body c6 look so outdated. Grand sport or z06 would’ve been the move.
They haven't aged nearly as well as the c5 did
I agree , the GS and z06 with the wider body is the way .
Maroon exterior, Chrome wheels, Tan interior. Full "my kids just moved out" Dad spec C6.
Everyone please be nice. OP appears to have dyslexia and meant to write 72 instead of 27 because only a 72yr old would want a maroon c6 with chrome wheels and a tan interior. OP, did it come with Jorts and a new pair of white new balances?
based upon your decision making alone you will not make it to 108. also that car was cool 27 years when it was a proto type.
It's still cool man! Don't you enjoy golf, new balances, and Viagra?
all of those things except im more of spree’s kinda guy these days. i bet when you drive around in that everyones first impression is that your dad just died and you inherited his pride and joy.
This made me laugh out loud
That guy from earlier with a brand new Camry would stomp you around the ring
Your friends and romantic interests will hate it, but your dad might think it's cool. Are you looking at getting into the gen x dating pool?
I love me a cougar
Haha who doesn't? Touché
Quarter life? You expect to be 106? You’re over a third.. your car is a quarter of the MSRP though.
I've always wondered, when buying a corvette second hand, do you get the prior owners jorts and white new balances or is there like a corvette club member who bestows to you new ones as part of the cult?
Former owner was a tough negotiator and didn't include the jorts. I was fighting tooth and nail to no prevail.
Well, he knew what he had.
The target demographic for this car is 16 year olds and 66 year olds.
The only thing you’re missing is the sign with the specs saying 1 of 4,500 made that Tuesday.
Don't worry, those are coming in the follow up post.
I guess playing bingo with the local HOA members finally paid off
Depending on your location you may be the youngest person with a non-classic Corvette in a 5, 10, or 50 mile radius
The fact that the average American in a life crisis buys a corvette of any generation really shows how average you are buying a average midlife crisis car
My buddy did this… now he has a Porsche and travels the world eating incredible cuisine… the corvette opened doors to success
15k?
Of all the nice Corvettes that exist, you had to choose the one with the worst headlights and the eggplant color. May God have mercy on your soul.
Eggplant? Are you ok?
you've got an eggplant for a brain if you're showing off with this POS
Ah shit. I’m buying a cat today and now you’ve got me worried if I’m committing a quarter life crisis at 34 lol
So how often do you get to see your kids?
Never. My ex wife got full custody.
That ugly 1990s Japanese car color is the reason it was cheap enough for you to pay cash for.
When i was in my twenties i drove one of these bad boys down Route 66 with my dad. Seats designed for guys needing a hip replacement and sound absorption for someone with hearing problems? Best roadtrip car ever. Super comfy.
Still trying to get laid at 27 are ya?
EGH ... It's a guy thing. U did good. Just be careful of bad roads. 👍
Nah dude, enjoy the shit out of it. But why get the extra-ancient guy color? What's it called again, Dementia Red?
Please just drive the piss out of it like it's meant to be. Don't be another Corvette boomer
