Corvettes and the better half
I just recently broke up with my girlfriend, because of my new Stingray.
Supposedly, she thinks I won't be able to wine and dine her as she deserves. She is right, because I can not afford her and the Corvette. Corvette stays....goodbye Leigh!
How does your better half react to your having a Corvette?

Just fine... now that I bought her a new Lexus.
Seriously, if a girl breaks up with you for this, consider yourself lucky.
And if someone chooses a car over their true love, they're a..... well it rhymes with "boron".

Initially I thought you were an idiot for losing a woman over a car, but based on your name, "Supersonic 427" can I assume this was not your first corvette? If so, I'm not sure what her deal was if you had one already. My wife is fine with it, but then again she is comfortable in her own skin and does not feel the need to compete with a car...that and she knows it makes me happy (and she too is used to my car addiction).

This was a fairly new relationship with a woman that was very attractive on the outside, but ugly as hell on the inside. It would not have lasted, Corvette or no Corvette. Trouble is, we fall for the looks. It ain't all about the looks! I met her on one of the dating sites....And I was a "moron" for staying with her as long as I did! The Corvette made the break up easy.

Some halves are fruitcakes when it comes to your finances. If you're not married to 'em, WGAS?
Unless you're married to 'em, they can either pony-up some date money if they're so unhappy, or, conversely, consider ditching the *****.
The new Corvette, stays!

Wife has ZO6. She was almost more thrilled about me buying a C7 than I.

I had a Corvette in 1970 when I met my wife. She loved it. 30 years later she talked me into getting my second Corvette, a 2000. Since then we have had 6 more and she "approved" of every one. I can't imagine dating, or being married to, a girl that didn't understand about and love performance cars.

My wife was the one that suggested I put a deposit on a C7.
