I have owned my 1980 since 1984. The first time I took a date in it she said, 'nice car, kind of sporty.' She also said it was 'in good shape, no rust.' We didn't have a second date.

It's a black vette and kids often call it the batmobile.

Best: "I'd love to go for a ride, but I might get your seat wet..." :o

Worst: "If you were my kid, I'd never let you drive my vette."

Many years back, I arrived at my then girlfriend's house with my newly purchased C2 fuelie and her first response was "is that an MG?"

I also liked "How do you open the doors?"

"When are you going to get that thing done?" OR

"lets put it together"

Neat, yes. Cool, yes. Nice, yes (even though it needs some work). But cute, never.

So what's the worst your Vette has been called?

C'mon Mike! I've seen your Corvette, and it is kinda cute...

Mostly what I get is " Hey dude, that car is the shiznet!"

By the way, I broke that motor mount we installed two weeks later. Gotta solid mount in there now, I bet I don't break that!

No girl i have ever had in the car was able to open the doors the first time, and yes most of them have called it "cute" but i have gotten "sexy" a few times too.

gotten cute, sexy, wow, "I'd be drooling if I didn't have cottonmouth"(that was a little weird), my favorite one is my old co-worker's kid said this once....
"Mommy, it's a baabie(barbie in 2 year old talk) car." everyone at work just laughed, and it became a big joke at work that I drove a Barbie car.

I was sitting at a stop sign when a baggy pants, hat sideways, skinny skateboarder came around the corner and said "Whoa dude nice Corr" as he fell off the curb.
