Default Corvettes are "compensating?" It's an outrage!!!

Talking with a lady friend this eve on Corvettes in general, including my luscious '04 torch red/mod red Z06, she opined that, contrary to her initial perception, she never figured me for being a "Corvette Guy." After a little bit o' coaxing (I needed some more clarity on that one...), she went on with the usual stereotypes, including that they're "compensating" cars. Oh, the horror! How do I enlighten this lost soul? After all, she drives a white BMW convertible, a total chickmobile (or, to be fair, a Car for the Man Who's Nuts are Up to His Neck)...

She did, however, used to be the proud owner of a '60's Mustang convertible, so all's not lost. There is hope.

Suggestions welcome. I need to show her the light, take her out of the dark side of the misinformed image of Corvette drivers! Maybe I should start by not wearing bell bottom jeans, blow drying my chest hair, wearing silk shirts & big gold chains & bracelets, and having my hair & beard permed...

Give her your best stories of the MANY times and MANY ways that the Corvette is suited for sexual activities.

Note to her the padding of the armrest and the mempry feature that has the third memory of both buttons depressed to push the seat back, retract steering column and adjust the radio to "inspirational" music!

If all else fails, give her my number !

Wow, she must be pretty hot for you to give all that up, at most I'd give up having my beard permed

My wife didn't car a bit about my Vette until I got her involved in the local Corvette club. Now she sees lots of folks just like us having fun with the Vette's as our common interest.

I think the first thing to do would be to verify to her you are not "compensating"
for anything. Then during the afterglow give her a dissertation of the five
generations of Corvette with passion only found in a greek romance novel.
That should do it.....

What is the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?

The porcupine has the ****** on the outside!

Shure the Vette is compensating....compensating for so many boring jellybean cars made for the masses, and compensating for megabuck overpriced euroboxes...like hers!

Just tell her the truth - it's a pen1$ extension, you are insecure in your manhood and you own a Corvette because you are compensating for having a small one.

I own my Vette because it gives me something that I have not found anywhere else - PermaGrin(TM).

I will accept all the stereotypes as long as I keep getting my steady dose of PermaGrin(TM)

Simply tell her that driving a vette is the absolute best Viagra your can get. On quick ride and I'm always ready to go. My wife can't stop smiling more since I got the vette.
