My wife used to have a '92 Miata, so she thinks I should buy one of those instead of a C3. (Not!) She said I shouldn't worry about my manhood - only the pink ones are gay.
I wanted a miata as a cheap little car to take to the autocross and figure out whats up there. But she says she hates them, and only gay men should drive them.

I cant get a solstice/sky either.

But provided things work out, the C3 will be rebuilt and a C6 vert will be on the way.

Same "chick" each time............Wife !! (no pix or I'm toast )

& she's always been cool about me having cars too. ( 2 Vette's, 1 MGB, 1 big azz Chrysler, a diesel Suburban & a Classic Mini)
I guess she knows if I'm in the garage working on them then I'm not getting in trouble.

The new corvettes are one of the best cars you can buy new... but you can't beat a C3 for personality. Plus driving around in a BB with chrome bumpers... nothing like it (not that i own one...).
