Yep, what Keith said. My wife refers to it as "your car" (ie: mine) - She can take it or leave it (mostly leave it) - to her it's just another car, "it's no big deal" So, I constantly ask her after I get a compliment on "my car," if she receives similar compliments on "her blazer" - that usually triggers some smart azz remark from her
Mine tolerates it. She like this one better than the C3 and the C4 I had. More comfortable on trips.

She never understood the whole "car" thing. She always was jealous because I spent a lot of time waxing, researching, and most importantly $$. At the time the vette was my only vehicle and one day she says, "do we have to take your car"? UUUHHH WHAATT?? She would NOT go out in it, so she drove us in her Toyota Echo!! Did I mention my EX girlfriend? It was one of the best things I've ever done!!

If you don't like a Vette, there is something wrong with you. Most likely if it is a woman talking though and says "I don't like your car" it means something like " You think I'm fat and you are going to leave me".

No she just isn't really into cars. She likes big cars and trucks, because they make her feel safe. The whole soccer mom in big SUV deal.
Made her mad one day when she said "It's just a car" and I replied without hesitation "Your just a girl". She didn't find that as funny as I did.

My wife calls the C5 hers and drives it as much as I do. She loves to go to shows with me and look at other mods to consider, mostly just bling though as she thinks it's fast enough stock. She calls the C2 mine because with no power steering or brakes she can't drive it.

My wife wasn't overly enthralled with the Vette. Now, she's gone, and the Vette is still here with the addition of heads and cam, intake manifold, injectors, longtube headers, high flow cats, X-pipe, GHL exhaust, Blackwing, Yank SS3200, transmission coolor, etc., and a full dyno tune, since I divorced her. That money bought me a lot more pleasure from the car than I ever received by spending money on my ex. Met the woman of my dreams since, and she loves both me and the car. Life now rocks!
