Re: Babe Magnet? (stingraymarc)
I've always loved readheads. Check.
I've always loved vettes. Check.Check.
I've always loved drag racing. Check.
Found a redhead who loves vettes and drag racing. This is not a coincidence. It will happen if you just enjoy your self and your favorite things. Found her. Married her.
Now, I've got one of these 24/7----> :D

Well, at my age, I don't get a lot of "those conversations" but do get quite a few admiring looks...yes it is the Vette.
But, hey, use whatever it takes to draw the attention; then it's up to you to hold the interest. It's the same game, just different conversation starter.

In the past it would have been an aphrodisiac to some women. I think girls these days all think or are TRAINED to think that a guy with a nice car is lacking in another significant area of their anatomy. I for one drive a Corvette for the feel of the car on the road. I also occasionally come close to closing my huge member in the car door or hood during routine duties, so we all know that they have been mislead by their Mothers and Grandmothers. :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:

I recently was stopped by a female police officer. The first statement out of her mouth was NICE CAR...I drove away with not even so much as a warning. :cool:

A red, yellow, or bright blue Corvette will get attract some attention that you wouldn't get in a VW, but it IS the CAR.
Around here, females from 18-25 are into Acura's and Mitsubishi's.
Females from 25-45 are into SUVs or (maybe) BMWs.
Females 45 and up are into Mercedes and (maybe) STS Caddys.
So, a Corvette is an interesting sidebar to them.
Nothing more.
Babe magnet? Nope.

Re: Babe Magnet? (LT-4Mike)
When I first met my bf my first comment to him was "I bet you get all the ladies with a car like that". The car really got my attention, but that is not the reason I am with him.
If the car was the factor of our relationship I wouldn't be with him right now...He no longer has the car.

If Corvettes come with chick magnets, I think the last owner kept it for himself before he sold it. All of my friends' girlfriends got all excited and couldn't wait to get a ride in the car, but single women don't seem to share the same enthusiasm. :skep:

Re: Babe Magnet? (LT-4Mike)
I had to laugh to myself, about 2 weeks ago after shopping for groceries I reach my car in the parking lot and find a handwritten note on my windshield that read "Your vette is hot and so are you!" I have no idea who wrote it, just kinda laughed while surprised, it just felt nice to read it anyway :lol: :chevy

Back to the original topic: I don't know that my car would be much of a chick magnet since my wife's name is embroidered on the right side sun visor!!!
There are some pics of it on page 2 of this album:

Don't think that would make for much of a pick up line; "Would you like to go for a ride? Sit here in my.... ummm wife's seat."
