what its all about
I was parked outside a store in my Corvette Orange "77 Cpe. which was near the park. A minivan pulled up in front of me with little boys (5or 6yr.old) the first kid out, initially focused onthe park stops and yells "Oh my God! look at this car! its a race car. and the other ones followed suit. The Mom says "I think your driving there dream car" I said: "Mine too, I was about 10yrs old in 1977 and 29 yrs later I got one."

I get ton's of attention...albeit it from middle-aged men who are impelled to tell me about their first Corvette...you know, the all-metal model's. 
If only the young babe's would show as much interest. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to get a Miata for that demographic.

. A much rarer sight for the public over here. However I have noticed lately people seem a little hesitant to show there interest in the car - possibly because I look young and am female.
Kids seem to really love it though!

Cosmic - no mystery there - we men are the same the world over - faced with looking at a young female or a Vette (or any car really) it's usually no contest - female every time.
