Won't go so far as to say I love the car, but it's about as close to that feeling I can get for an inanimate object.

I think I have to love it.....
Who else but your loved ones go through your wallet, remove any cash you might have, make you angry sometimes, take your future earnings, yet still have a roof over their head? And despite all that, I still buy all kinds of cleaners/polishes/waxes to keep it purty....I think I'm nuts...

to love a car...
I wanted this exact car, for a long time,
It makes the little kids watch as you drive by, Little boys want one (and
they don't even know why, yet)
It does (or did when I was single) catch the attention of the girls,
It's capable of so much more than I am able to ask of it,
People see it coming and watch as it goes by,
People wave, even non-Vette drivers, view it as America's Sports Car (and
they are always smiling)
When I'm driving out in the country, no one anywhere near by, it gives
me a sense of excitement and kid-like fun; still,
I still enjoy pulling over at scenic places and taking pictures of it,
sometimes I leave home with no other intention than to look for cool
photos of my C5,
I feel like when I leave my driveway, I'm 'inside' the coolest car I'm
going to see, all day!
I enjoy sitting in my garage on a rainy day, just cleaning it....
I think I do love this car; and I don't feel guilty about that at all!!!

So why do I love this car....
1) I have customized it in appearance, performance, and comfort to my tastes
2) No matter how you slice it or dice, it looks great
3) I will occasionally get stopped by someone on the street asking me about it or asking to see what's under the hood

Probably most of us would say we love our corvettes but we would probably add that it is a love/hate relationship when we experience all of the little quirks that these cars have. Locking steering , 2mph shutoff , throwing codes , rocking seats , gas sender failures , brake part failures and parts that are obsolete and not repairable , etc, etc , etc. But we still love our Corvettes. What's wrong with us ?

I dont necessarily love Corvettes. Im a car guy and like all different types of cars. Corvettes(c5 to be exact) are good bang for buck cars for what they are. Thats why i like them.

Love is the right word
- It is the definition of American Built Muscle and Tradition
-It is loyal to a fault- It would never ask your buddy to test drive it if you are out of town-
-It is more so than any other car
-It is the ultimate in "panty dropper" category (chicks dig it)
-First trip I took my grandson on he stated after we got back that this was the best day ever and he wants a Vette-
-It has never failed to make me smile
I have an old repro thermometer in my BBQ area that has a Red C3 and it reads very eloquently-
"Corvette state of mind"
