I love that I am fortunate enough I can afford one.
I love that I am able to drive it whenever I want and its not my daily driver.
I love to look at it, work on it, clean it, etc..
I like the car itself, I am still getting to know it and I am sure after a few more months of using it I will fall in love with it.
I guess once I give it a name that might help the process....

RFs are loud and hard. Looking at these.

WOW, love a car what a concept. It's unrequited
Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such by the beloved. The beloved may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection, or may consciously reject it. The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines unrequited as "not reciprocated or returned in kind". Psychiatrist Eric Berne states in his book Sex in Human Loving that "Some say that one-sided love is better than none, but like half a loaf of bread, it is likely to grow hard.

I'm not convinced it is love. It is something? I like my Corvette, but I also like a lot of other cars (not Electric). I like my 2020 Mustang GT
I like my 2019 Nissan PU.

I think we are a Corvette Cult!

"love" my C7?...no, but I like it very much. I love my family, my wife, my good health, and God. I guess it really depends on how you define love. I learned a long time ago not to love things.

Yes I loved my torch red C7 and I really miss her. My black C8 is scheduled for production the week of 9/13 and I’m hoping to love that one also. I don’t know what it is about owning a Corvette, it’s hard not to love everything about them.

If you look at all the definitions of love you can apply it to things like cars, food , homes and many other things. I love my wife and really love driving down country roads with her in our Corvette.

Definitely name her! My girlfriend named my C5 the "White Bitch'......now she named the C7 the "New Bitch".....it's all in good fun! On a lazy day, she'll look at me and say "Hey, let's take the Bitch out for a drive!" LOL

According to my girlfriend I love my car more than her. So there you have it.

Must be love to drive it every night
Must be love to wash this black car every week bright
I must be cheating because I have another car in sight
Keeping both does this seem right?

As the ones that I have owned in the past are just possessions that I have owned along with everything else that I had in the past. I plan on keeping these two LOVES of mine for as long as I can drive or they take away my license to drive away from me. IT MIGHT SOUND VERY CORNY TO SAY OR WRITE BUT YES I LOVE MY CORVETTES NOT LIKE FAMILY OR PETS BUT I DO LOVE THEM!


I loved my 2015 C7 bought in 2014 maybe too much. She ended up as a garage queen with 27,000 miles. My C8 ZO6 will be driven across our great country. Miles to be determined but, I'm looking at 100,000 plus.

I just LOVE my m7 grandsport!!
It is so versatile, I take it to the track, out for a long weekends with the targa roof down. It’s simply gorgeous looking. Can’t think of another car I would prefer other then maybe upgrading to a c7 z06. I have a 97 Porsche 911 and a 2020 bmw m2 and I almost always take the vette.

I have a 2019 z06 M7 rag top. Only regret is that I cant track it but I prefer top down so i dont have to deal with the taking off the targa top.
