My wife rarely drives mine she says it scares the hell out of her. She was driving it the other day as one of the SUV was in for some recall work and she had my son come and get it....she was just getting paranoid.

I bought my 99 vert with 7500 miles from a 67 yr old lady from Ohio earlier this year. So I guess that I am driving an "old ladies" car.

My wife is the owner of ours... Her name is on the title, not mine!! However, I drive it 99.8% of the time... And I wash it, clean it, baby it, service it, play with it, etc. etc...

I would not call 53 elderly. My wife has a C4 that she loves. She also enjoys driving my C5. She's a hot mamma with a heavy foot, my kind of girl!!!!!!!!!

Depends on what you call 'elderly'. My wife is 70, has owned a 54 and 57 (NEW!!) and will be driving our C5 when we buy it next week.
I KNEW she was the one for me! Kids gone, yadda yadda, what does she suggest?, let's get a 'vette!!!

Mrs. Torch owns and drives our Vette. I drive it on the weekends during the six months we can drive it. She drives it to work everyday she gets a chance. From what I have seen in Fairbanks most of the C5 owners are women.
