Default Sweet!

I've had my Vette for a little over a month and have gotten the normal looks and stares. I've also gotten (and given) the wave from fellow Corvette owners. Today was a first. I was at a stop light in the left turn lane when I started hearing shouting. I turned down the volume on my stereo and noticed the sound coming from behind me. I looked in the rear-view mirror and lo and behold a car full of highschool teenage girls were yelling at me, "NICE CAR, MAN!!!!". I had the top off so I raised my arm up and gave them a thumb's up.

Sometimes this car makes me feel like I'm in highschool again .

Like you said, it is not so much the age, but the ring that makes this a touchy situation.... good thing is the wife isn't in the car most of the time Don't get me wrong, I love my wife dearly, it is just really nice for the ego.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a boy-band or something. I seem to be the envy of all the 10-15 yr old kids in the area.
