Sexiest Car For Newly Divorced Dads: Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Base Price: $52,190

Prince sung about it. P. Diddy has said the way to meet women is to put on a white T-shirt and drive around in one. The Corvette convertible is just the dose of self-esteem a newly divorced dad needs. And with its 400-hp, V-8 engine, it’s still one of the most fun cars to drive.

Somebody outta shoot whoever wrote that caption...but he/she/it got it right in once case "And with its 400-hp, V-8 engine, it’s still one of the most fun cars to drive."

There is a large number of people who have walked away with a small fortune listening to Forbes. However, most of them started with a large fortune.

I don't think Forbes meant it as an insult, a sizeable part of their subscriber base are newly-divorced dads.

I don't see anything negative in the Forbes comment. What are you talking about?
