Sh*t magnet much?
so i wait 70 years, only car i ever wanted being a late 1960's GTO (4-speed, 3 deuces), then (than?) the C7 comes along, so i buy it. my wife forbids me (yea, thats right) to buy it because it looks like a Batman car. we negotiate (i end up funding hardwood floors in the entire house, redoing the closet and the bathroom in the master bedroom--which is okay, since i get to sleep there by myself now; plus, they all needed it, the same as i needed the C7), and i buy the car. my wife has yet to even sit in it, wont drive it, new hre wheels are not even close to being on the table.
so, two days or so ago (i mentioned this in a prior post), i rear end some old woman (not as old as me, but old). as we re exchanging insurance information etc., she looks at the car and says (i swear
), thats not a corvette, what is it--looks like a Batman car!. well (blank) me. am i the only guy on the planet that attracts all the crap within 100 miles, and gets dumped on in one giant heap? i mean, the car is cyber grey with the kalahari interior--Batman in his wildest dreams wished his car looked that good.
<---me, hiding from the next s-storm.

I guess I'm really lucky.
It was my wife suggested I think about ordering the car. She loves it and did my should as much as I do and actually asks to drive it on occasion, especially when we are on a trip, and she drives the manual very well. She seems to always take her friends down to the garage to take a look at it on the way out to show them her gardening skills.
All in all, our "Batmobile" seems to be a very welcome addition to the family by all involved.

When I showed my diabetes doctor a photo of the C7 I've got on order (night race blue) first words out of her mouth were "Oh, so you're buying the Batmobile?" Just about died laughing.

If that's all the sh*t you get you're lucky. The day I picked up my C6 I left it in the driveway so my wife would see it when she got home. She came in in the house and said there was bird do do all over it! I went outside and it looked like a pterodactyl had crapped all over the trunk lid! An unbelievable amount of bird crap dried by the sun, probably by crows.

It's a shame your other half can't enjoy your happiness with you, hope she comes around. Here's wishing nothing but the best for the rest of your Corvette experience. I would tell you how my wife called me from Carmax when she unexpectedly sold her 350Z to get the '08 Z06 but that would be cruel.

Sounds like you made your own bed... literally. Usually when life is burying one is sheit, one needs to grab a shovel, find the strength within, and dig his own way out.
PS. Use the new shovel you bought her for Christmas. You did buy her one, right?
