What is it with Benz & Bimmer owners?? A majority (not all) think they are above everyone else. Its like an inferiority complex. Maybe they should be a Vette and lose the complex......

why do you think we call it the Ultimate AHole Machine - so given I own both a bimmer & a c6 I guess now Im not only above everyone else Im also faster then everyone else...

I hate to admit it but a lot of European car drivers do fit the profile you mentioned above... as to it being the majority... *shrugh* I doubt it but the few rotten apples do spoil it for the rest of us

Please do some research before typing, ever again.

I can't believe your tone. You act as if selling cars to women is a bad thing. You are a sexist. I find you to be in need of some sensitivity training.

Also, I don't believe your statistics. Please provide proof.

Sorry, I'ved owned two Mercedes and loved them, but I disagree too. An SLK is far too close in price to a C6 and far too inferior in virtually every respect for an SLK owner to make such a comment.

Now THAT'S the heart of the matter, not the car. Nobody has the power to lift us up or wound us like our parents.

Dude,
I hate to break it to your Dad, but he is disillusioned, My Grandmother is 78 and drives a SLK320. Men do not drive that little crappy Benz.
Sorry for the reality check, but your Dad needs to wake up.

pretty funny seeing a 24 year old pedophile trying to use his self-proclaimed abundance of wit to talk smack. Sorry dude, but if you didn't know your 350Z was considered a bitch car before you bought it, then we can't help you learn the secret code of 'manly cars'. You are on your own!

Women can still drive 'manly' cars. Thats a turn-on.
Men that drive 'girly' cars are just uninformed. lol

Two comments:

1. My mother is the lamest, most grandmotherly like, non-exciting, non-car loving person I know. Her comment when I got my C6 was "I'm so happy for you. I know you've wanted a Corvette since you were 13 (I'm now 35). Congratulations, it's really a beautiful car."

2. I can't believe this is a 7 page thread.

I do not care what you believe. I know what is true. Feel free to check with GM marketing. They will agree with me.

Coupe/Vert = CHICK CAR


Z06 = MAN CAR

Default A Test

1. Go to a local Shopping Mall with both cars, a chair and a few beers.
2. Set the chairs up in fromt of the cars with the hoods open.
3. You sit in front of the Vette
4. Have Pops sit by his car.
5. Both of you change seats after an hour.

After a few Hotties give Pops some attention for his new Vette, he'll be at the dealer the following day.

When you refuse to back up statements, it's easy to say anything.
