I used to get that kind of thing with my old C6Z. Frankly I never understood the thought that driving a vette was going to get me more girls. Frankly when I had two cars girls would talk to me sometimes at stop lights in the other mundane car but never the vette. And as far as carshow "babes" [not the paid ones]....does anyone really want those girls?

Pulled into a gas station last week and great looking blonde asked if I would take her home. I chuckled. Good thing my wife was not there or she wouldn't let me drive it anymore.

And no I didn't take her home

"I don't even like cars. But if I were to get a car, this would be the one that would represent me."

Keep it going!
The first time that my wife took my daughter into town, a 10 or 11 year old boy saw them at a stop sign and yelled "You guys are livin' right!". My wife couldn't wait to tell me when she got home. Said he loved the car. It really is half the fun of owning this beautiful car (people's reactions). Good fun

I'm sure most of us on here either work hard or have worked hard to get these cars. We deserve to show them off..
I have a new z07, 911 turbo, 67 gt500',36 ford roadster, 70 challenger 440 6pk rt/se, 61 impala conv.409/425. So yes I can afford the z07 lol. I bought the z07 strictly for performance. Quoting Caroll Shelby " to much is not enough" . I can tell u this z07 needs to be kicked up a notch and will get some mods. Looking for attention I don't have time for that weak sh**. That's what I'm talking about brainless twits that look for attention! fortunately there are track guys on here with great imput.

So it's not that you don't crave attention it's that you are just too cool even for that. Got it.

Had driven up to the harley shop to pickup parts that had just come in. When I came out there was a guy on a bike looking at the car. When I walked up, he looked at me and said - "Man that car is dirty...DIIRRTTYYY!!!"

While I'm not that old, that was a new one for me, and it took a second to realize that was a compliment.

From a Florida State Trooper at a gas station in a turnpike rest stop, while we are both gassing our cars.

"Should I just give you the ticket now?"

Today a guy behind me at the drive thru got out of his car, walked up to my window and asked "How does one go about acquiring a car like this?" He had followed me for several blocks and I don't even think he wanted a coffee.

Some dude in an SUV jawed with me a few years ago about the deficiency factor with my C5. I'm with my lovely wife he with a truck load of red necks...... he says you making up for a small dick? I said size in not the issue.......my car goes and goes and goes and you dick may last 2 or 3 minutes...... he had no comeback and all his boy friends where saying that true.

But help me translate something that was shouted to me last week with the Z...... DUDE that switch is bad dog.......... Switch??? He was another red neck by the way.

Have any of you been taken by surprise and almost said ya your car is great too just as a reaction when they are driving a POS?

Today as I got out of the car a gangster-looking type with a crooked ball cap shouted "DAAAAAAMN that is one sweet f'n ride. That **** is dirt!" At least I think he said dirt. My wife wasn't sure either. We tried looking it up on urban dictionary, but no dice.

If there is another way to get a Z06 besides hard work, let me know about it....!
