If you bought a C6, chicks would be attracted to the car to beat it with a stick. The sleek lines of the C5 are and always will be a classic look.

What's weird is it worked like a charm in Ontario. I went to see my sister in Oct last year, who lives outside Kingston, and I have never had so much attention because of a car. And it was EVERYWHERE. That was very interesting... maybe I should move to the Frozen North???

I tried the hat thing... just made me look like Ice Cube from "Boyz n da Hood"

Any other suggestions short of plastic surgery (where I would have to get a face lift... and lift my face right out of sight)????

I'm 23 so no offense is intended here to my elder forum members but....I have been told by many young girls that when they see a Vette, they assume that an "old guy" is probably driving so they don't even bother to check out the driver. Also, I have spoken to some women much older than myself who say they quite often look but when they see me, a younger driver, they just look on by. :o Oh well, I didn't buy it for the chicks anyway. But it would be a nice perk!

On the other hand I enjoy having my windows tinted pretty dark so every Tom,Dick, and Harry are not checking out my wife when she is driving, they are checking out the car. At least that is what I tell myself.

Don't be too sure about that. This blonde hottie just had to sit in my vette at a car show in Va. Beach. She really, really liked vettes.

The Corvette certainly starts a lot of conversations that might not otherwise occured............

Having 2 of them increases your chances exponentially......

Zilla,
Sadly, I do look just like my avatar Hence the "Chick Magnet" failure. That plus I have been told I have no "street cred" because I weat formal attire all the time - even on weekends.

I'm a lost cause.

Here, for the many headed, is EG as he exists in the real world... not a pretty sight

the other reason your isn't a chick magnet maybe you don't have that option. Check your option sticker on you glove box for IB6

A lot of times when I am at a night club I find all these belly button ring stuck to the car so I started a collection

I too was a little surprised at how little attention the girls really gave the vette, <although the girl i've been seeing lately realllly seems to love the vette>.....The fix was to get a crotch rocket....MAN that works GREAT!

Best of luck to you EG...my advise b4 the face lift is get a bike, and wear a helmet. One of these will get you laid.

Used to have a Suzuki GSX-R in England. Bikes are not for me - I will kill myself at the speeds I travel at (lets just say that's it's felony speeds)

Helmet is a good idea though....
