If it's got a V8, it's not a girly car. Simple as that. Doesn't matter how much power it's got, anyway. It's a F*$(ing CORVETTE!!!! Let's see how many looks he gets in his Ford Jokus and then compare to how many you get.

Don't ever be ashamed of your Corvette, no matter what year or condition. It's an American icon, and nothing can take that away from it.





btw, I know a girl that's got a Corvette. It's a Hot Pink 71 with hooker sidepipes, offset trailing arms, 375's all around, big fender flares, a monster built 427, 4 speed, no interior, and a sticker on the back that says "my car's got more ***** than yours" on it. She holds the track record at the local road course.

Jealousy is a terrible thing. That's usually the cause of such comments. My usual response is to first give an incredulous look....then a sneering smirk...and then just walk away.

He drives a VW and he's talking about your 'Vette? What do you see all these little college coeds driving? What do they really all want,, (besisde me, of coarse). That's right,, a VW. Maybe he secretly puts his hair in pig tails and prances around his car in the garage!..

My wifes girly car is a '71 383, 430 HP......and she is in love with the thing! (Not more than in love with me, thankfully). I consider this a "ladies car" since a lady owns it. NO Corvette is a girly car IMO.

Well, they are girly cars in the way that they attract girls ( not that I would know but so I have heard).

Both my daughters tell me I look very cool in my corvettes. I know however that a brand new Z06 wouldn't be enough to make me look cool.

You might mention to the jealous little jerk that the number one and number two gay cars, as voted in a pole (no pun intended) in some gay magazine, are the VW Jetta and the VW Beetle. Which one does the little butt pirate drive? BTW, it was a very strange top five with the BMW 3 series placing third, the Jeep Wrangler placing fourth and a pitiful fifth place finish for my expected winner, the Mazda Miata.
