Default Chick Magnet??

When I told friends I was buying a Corvette, they said, "Man! I hear those cars are chick magnets! You'll need a pry bar to keep them off of you!"

After I bought my C5 'Vette, I'd stand a few dozen yards away just to see the reaction the car got from passers-by. Turns out that young women (and most of the young men) just walked right by without so much as a glance.

It seems that the most attention my car got on the street was from middle-aged men.

So here's my advice to middle-aged women seeking attention from similarly aged men:

Buy a 'Vette. And bring a pry bar.

You must be in the wrong city. Mine attracts the young women.

I have had my vette for about 2 weeks and all I am going to say is that I am VERY glad I am single.

Mammary enhancements and flashing I hear works well too.

Here in Edmonton if you don't have a lifted diesel truck, you might as well be driving a Yugo. The girls here don't even give my vette a first look much less a second...which is fine as I am married but funny nonetheless. If I'd have bought this car years back to pick up chicks, I'd be pi$$ed!! But I bought the car to fulfill a dream so It doesn't matter to me. Young boys think the car is awesome though...they all want me to spin the tires.

To be honest I think thats WAY overrated unless you want to walk around swinging your keys at women. Most the time when it does happen the are younger girls. I've never wanted the car to pick up women I've been able to do that on my own so it doesn't matter. I own them because I love the car. I've always said there are 2 kinds of Corvette owner .... Some of use love the car and there are the others that think it makes them look cool if it's setting in their Drive ways.

Recent studies have shown that 90% of young women are attracted to young men in BMW's wearing pressed shirts. That means the rest of them are ours
And by the way, what's that guy with the pressed shirt going to look like with the dust from my car all over him as I pass him?

Had a chick in the pass side of a four wheel drive flash me going down the road. I was in the right lane and their truck was in the left lane. I don't know if her S.O. (who happened to be driving the truck) knew or not because he never took his eyes off the road....I imediately looked over to my Fiancee thinking I was surely dead..., who was busy putting on eye makeup in the mirror on her visor. She never saw it!!! I glanced back at the truck and she spoke the words "I LOVE YOUR CAR". I had my window down and hers was down too, even with this I never would have heard her over the tires on his truck. She just kind of moved her mouth where I could read her lips and understand what she was saying...and then she smiled...

That made my day. Nice (.)(.) too.

-A quick look back at the Fiancee one more time confirmed the indulgence in mascera still

Maybe the women in your area only like the vettes with the most money invested on mods. I think they hang out at car shows
