Got teased about C5
As I got out of the Corvette this morning, I heard someone yelling something, it's a woman I have talked to a few times, she repeated it "that's totally not a midlife crisis car!!"
I said no, bought it when I was 25, 41 now. Haha

I've had people say the same to me and like you I've owned corvettes since I was young. Some people say negative things to you to make themselves feel better.

I work with a 10yr trapped in a 25yr old
body. He drives a base Boxster, 2000, yellow with tan top and tan interior. Bleh
He tells me that he could never own a Corvette because it's "too mid life crisis"
HE LITERALLY DRIVES THE EPITOME OF MIDLIFE CRISIS CARS!!!!
Anyway, I have a silver on black C5Z, and if nothing else, at least my car doesn't look like baby food bananas that sat in the sun too long

I bought my Z06 almost 3 years ago at the age of 25. All of my friends rag on me and say it's my Quarter-Life Crisis car.
I always respond with some sarcastic remark about how my 'vette is nicer than theirs.

She might have meant it as a compliment...as in you have a nice sports car so it must be because of a midlife crisis (that's the cliche for all sports cars, not just Corvettes).

I've heard "you must be compensating for something". My girlfriend was quick to say "NO, he is NOT" Almost got my licence plate "NOTCOMP" because of that day.

Being a retired Philly PD Police officer, I've had things said to me and my family that would make your hair stand up. Mostly just by stupid idiots that simply want to demean you.
So comments about me and my cars are trivial to me and mean absolutely nothing. I believe that most comments stem from pure jealousy anyway... Ask them: Got 50 cents? then call somebody who gives a ****...

True story - beach house - housemate pulls up in a vette - girl walks up to him before he gets out:
Girl - Your car?
Guy - (proudly) - Yep - my car!
Girl - I'm truly sorry to hear of the death of your d*ck
