When i grew up, i could never afford a cool car, and the Vette was the dream car. Now i have to tell myself, "HEY I'm driving a Vette!!" My wife is a good sport and she knows that when she is leaving the house in the Vette and i'm standing in the driveway....she nails it hard. God i love to hear those B&B PRTs and watch MY Vette going down the road.

I know what ya mean. my wife and I have experienced alot of that. and we've only owned ours little over a month. we have people speed up to catch up with us and look at a while then drive off in disgust, wishing they were driving a corvette.

Sometimes you think things that you think no one else does or would understand. When I'm driving down the road and a C5 is coming at me they look like they're scraping the road, they are so low looking, even the not lowered ones. Then I think that's what mine must look like to everyone else. That's why they're staring at me. They still look as good to me as the first time I saw one on the road in 1997 and knew immediately I would have one.....BTW, the ones I catch the most doing the "I'm not looking at you" but are trying to discreetly stare are usually women in their SUV's. I just don't know though, is it me they want or my car? HA! LOL

A friend was driving mine awhile back, It needed an inspection and I work a lot so he took it for the day to get it done...
On my way into work in the evening I passed him on his way home coming the opposite way on the highway. I did a neck snap to stare at the car to figure out what it was, only to discover it was my own car getting my attention!

You make a good point. But for me, hearing the sweet exhaust note lets me know what I'm driving.
