I take college age girls to Sonic all the time--the only dirty looks I get are from women my own age: When I see them sneer at me, I think to myself, "Gee, I'm so sorry that I want to date girls who can still bear me children (eventually). And also don't have a passel of some suv-driving-sob's unwanted offspring."
The only people that dislike C3's are screwed-up individuals anyhow--I firmly believe that--it's written on a stone tablet somewhere.
Those young cuties think very very highly of C3's--just give'em a sincere smile and buy them some booze--then you'll see.

I actually got a little paint cracking lines on the hood from all the girls that have been up there. Normal wear and tear for a C3.
I got a model on her way to my house for a shoot right this second--I'll have here hold up a sign made out just to you--in the Vette.

I always thought you had to be old to have a Corvette. I have wanted one my whole life and had to wait till I was almost 40. It has always seemed like when you see a nice sports car, there is always some geezer driving it. Anyway, you are only as old as you feel, and I swear every time i take my car out, I instantly feel younger.

Good story. I, too, live in a college town, Boulder. Columbia is probably part of the right-wing conspiracy compared to Boulder!
Anyway, last summer I pulled into a gas station near campus and while filling up, some college kid comes by, takes a look at the car and tells me with a sneer that I'm depleting the oil reserves and contributing to global climate change. Without missing a beat, I told him he was very wrong, the Corvette was a hybrid. All of a sudden, he got a really puzzled expression on his face, didn't say anything and ambled off. I felt really good about seriously confusing him.

Matt and Sam,
It was the one over by the old Walmart supercenter. The one right next to the Texaco. She was fine.
To everyone else, I don't consider myself old and have been told that I look younger than I am, but it was just a funny encounter nevertheless!

Must be old to afford a Corvette?
My '73 LS4 that I have now cost much more two years ago when I bought it and what it is today than what it sold for new in 1972!
I bought my first Corvette new at age 25 in 1975?

She was tall with long blonde hair and had all the curves of a C3. She couldn’t have been more than 18. I do live in a college town. She gave me my food and proceeded to look the car over. I was feeling pretty good about that as I could tell she liked what she saw. She asked me what year it was. I told her it was a 1974. She told me “wow, I wasn’t even born then”. She was probably born right in the middle of the C4 production. She said she really enjoyed looking at the car. I told her thanks for the complaints. Here’s the comment that she made right before she went back inside that put me back in my humble existence, she said “yeah when I get old I’m going to get a cool car like that as well”.

I think creepy would be more like in the movie Dazed and Confused where he said, "thats why I like the highschool girls, I get a year older and they stay the same age." To some people its words to live by.

Hey Curtis74....Don't worry about it...They just don't have the experience that we have.....They don't mean to insult us.......Like my son (age 25) said a few weeks ago > ..... I "dissed" my parents from age 12 to 22, but I realize now that they accomplish more before lunch each day than my entire generation does in 6 months".
He's growing up....would you say?
