Yes, she enjoys riding in it until the first turn and from there I receive speed warnings on every upcoming turn.

Took the little women out to lunch. We had the top off. Said she loved the ride but wasn't feeling well enough to drive. Would have been the first time she drove it.

My girlfriend enjoys riding in it. She doesn't like when I get on it though. She yells and says I'm dangerous, but afterward she admits she likes the rush haha.

My wife HATES my Vette. She claims it's the ride/ noise/ height but she sure is in to the idea of me buying a Cayman.

I've given up on trying to please her. I drive it for me. And her grown kids like it a lot as well.

Yep! She will find the Mild To Wild fob and turn it down to almost SILENT when going through the neighborhood on the weekend mornings....

The wife enjoys riding in mines or hers but I refuse to drop the top in hers when I am driving. Last month her and I went on a test ride after I installed a e-force with not a beep out of her. I was the one complaining it was not enough hp vs $$ for the kit.

Mine does & she isn't a car person, nor a good passenger. But she loves the socializing of our vette clubs. GS is Very comfy, btw, & wicked fast!

My wife doesn’t like it. She doesn’t like riding so low and she absolutely does not like taking curves without slowing down. This is what I bought it for. 😁

My wife loves riding in my Corvette but she hates driving it Being ‘height-challenged’, she cant get close enough to feel comfortable fully depressing the pedals while keeping a comfortable distance from the steering wheel. She does enjoy the passenger seat and actually asks if we can go for drives!

Just bought a C6 and my boyfriend's only complaint is that it's a manual (...he doesn't know how to drive it).

Naw, don't think the wife does. I drive too fast, corner too hard & fast, have the music on too loud! When I install headers and axle backs it'll be too loud w/ the NPP open! But she's offended if I don't invite her along. Sometimes I feel I can't win for losing.

women could care less about cars, if they do its one that makes them look like they have money. Vettes dont do it.

Let me think a second.........hmmmm....

A woman in the same car with me complaining about how fast I'm going. How I'm driving. Wanting to stop at every single rest area to pee. Doesn't like the noise. Hates being so close to the ground. Listening to her useless blather about nothing for hours. Complaining about the ride being rough.

Etc., etc., etc.

Annnnnnnnd how can a woman not wanting to ride in my car with me be a bad thing??

Yep. Did the 2015 Power Tour and a trip from Dallas to Key West. Heading to VOTR later in the summer. She's all in and really doesn't much care what I do as long as I stay out of the ditch.

Better for our relationship is she doesn't ride in it. Complains about noise (SLP Loudmouths), too low, hard to get in and out of and ride quality. She prefers her Cadillac SEX. Fine with me.
