When did YOU know someday you would own a CORVETTE ?

Following the lead of the recent HOTB question, when did you first know you'd own a corvette?

My story is as a teenager I was 16 and with two buddies hitch hiking into town. A guy in a brand new yellow 69 stopped and we all piled in. There we were all 4 of us in that car with the top out.
It was a 427 and it was then I learned the letters L88.
T'was a screaming machine it was. They guy had just landed after a tour of duty in a hell hole and was letting off steam.

My one buddy Dennis was positioned with his head above the T-top line and every time the guy would accelerate out Dennis could not breath from the blast of air in his face. I can still remember looking up at him with his squinted eyes and tears whipping backward. It still makes me laugh.

When I got out of the car I could not stop staring at the car.
That's when I knew I'd have a vett someday.
