Everyday Same Question!
Ever since I got my C6 I seem to get the same question from at least one person or "idiot" everyday. "So, you get a lot of pu$$y with this car?" 
I always tell them, thats not why I got it. These cars are not the chick magnets that everyone thinks they are. I dont drive down the street and get panties thrown at me from every which way. I mean yes I get a lot of compliments but no women throwing themselves at me. Does anyone else get that question a lot?

Ya know if a guy needs to buy a Corvette to impress the "chicks" he has many other problem's. And if a "chick" throws herself at a guy just because he own's/drive's a vette she has more issues than I'd want to deal with.

At my age (40), everyone just assumes it's my midlife crisis car. 
I've been driving a Vette before though and plan on driving one until I can't drive no more!

I always get the "must be compensating for something" remark. I just play along and reply, "getting rid of my Vette won't make IT get any bigger."
Usually the person commenting is one of those people who thinks a person should only have the things they "need" to get along. I don't understand the point of a life based solely on having ones "needs" met.

yea i get asekd the same question and I reply, "yea, i go into the bars twirling the corvette keys around my fingers"
But i have to admit, a ride in the car has definitely turmned on some women before, but i dont think it got me anything i wasnt already going to get.

If that's why I own a fine car it would be something like an SL500. Selection of bait influences what you will catch. I would rather reel in what the SL would attract than the vette. But I avoid women as much as possible now.

I cant imagine what theyre gonna think about me at 22 or the other few young vette owners around here. 1.5 weeks left until I get mine..
And when people who are jealous ask me why I need such a car, my smarta$$ response is always "Because I'm rich and I can do whatever I want"
hahaha
