Default Anyone ever notice...

Often I've heard that the corvette has built in sexual undertones of say a part of a man's anatomy. However, driving my c5 the other day I noticed that from the drivers perspective the hood and front end of the car reminds me of a woman's lower anatomy where the front fender area are like legs and the hood is obviously something else. Am I nuts or is this something that the designers did on purpose?

It's the wax. All of the buffing and rubbing and patting and sweating... Gotta be something in the fumes.

Sounds to me like wishful thinking on your part. Keep thinking you don't have a small gherkin.

Well, in the case of the C5, it is. That said, there have been cars in the past that may have been designed just that way. The most notable, and documented, is the Edsel. The grille on this car was designed to resemble exactly what it does. There may be others but this is the only one that I have ever seen documented.

I wonder if the designers were the same ones who designed the architecture at the Corvette Museum in the background of your picture.
