Three pedals or two? Top up or down?

A "chic's car"???
If a woman owned it it would be, but not if a guy owned it.

It's a 6 speed, very clean from Virginia. Clean carfax, 30k miles, 2002. Just can't decide, it's almost too pretty.

Drive it down a dirt road. It’ll look less pretty.

I purchased the exact same vehicle with 6M to replace a chic Miata I got for my date. Had it nine years before a hurricane flooded it. Eventually replaced it with another 2002 vert which only has two pedals on the floor so it's more of a chic car than the last one. I liked and drove the 6M much more than the replacement. After owning 9 Corvettes and doing research the 2002 model is the best year for a C5 in my opinion. Go for it!

If you are man enough to drive it it is a mans car. LOL

There is nothing wrong with this. If you like it buy it.

Up the "loud" factor (exhaust) if you still have some reservations after purchasing. Nice looking ride..
