I think it's a fantastic looking car and believe the C2 is the best looking car ever. But in terms of modern cars, the C6 wins hands down (except maybe for an Aston Martin.) But I never did this. Sure, I looked it over when I was done washing/waxing it and really enjoyed walking up to it in a parking lot but there's no way I'd ever stand there and stare at it. It's a car. A tool. One I like for sure but it's just a car. And I never call cars "she". It's an *it*. "She" is my wife or the cat and I like them both a lot more than any car I ever owned!

Old thread. Asked a few months ago. Some of us like driving our Vette, looking at it occasionally to be sure everything looks okay. I don't spend that kind of money just to look at something.

I will sit out in the garage sometimes at night and smoke a cigar.
Yup ... I stare at my Corvette usually while enjoying that cigar and a good drink of 'branch water'.

Yup, count me in. A good cigar and bourbon to forget the pressures of the day...

No.
Every time I go to the garage it's to drive it.

I love spending time out in the garage. The only thing I like better is driving. If the weather is lousy, a cold beer and cigar in the garage is a great way to spend time.

Nite. Honey, I love you!
When I first got the Vette, I would open the garage door on my way to bed, and loudly announce "good night honey, I love you". My wife would say "Awww I love you too, hey are you talking to the car?"
She understands, but my mistress has to stay in the garage!

My garage is a complete mess, but I find reasons to go out there at least 2 or 3 times a night. I have been known to enjoy a cigar and a beer or whiskey while staring at or wiping down my cars..... great therapy!
