Married into Corvettes.
Hello. I don't own a Corvette but my wife's dad has two. (Modified 78' and a stock 05-C6 convertible) I do get to drive the vettes from time to time and love both of them. My wife prefers the 78 (she grew up with it) and I prefer the 05. (A true world-class car, IMO)
I bought my 05' 350Z less than two weeks after meeting her. She doesn't like imports, but told me my color choice was good. Nissan calls it "Daytona Blue," but she calls it "Kentucky Blue."
I started autocrossing with my Z in December of 05 and have been hooked on the sport ever since. My wife, Tonda, is the most supportive wife I have ever seen at the track, (or anywhere else) and actually encouraged me to get into the sport. It's great being married to a "vette-girl" that loves driving. Over the past month, I have had a couple opportunities to run other C6's all-out on tracks and my respect for the car has deepened.
So, as a fellow driving enthusiast, hello to all.

Welcome to the forums. I looked at the G35's before getting my C5 Vette. If I could I would own both but that's not in my budget. I like the 350Z but just couldn't deal with the visible room inside. There were huge blind spots for me. I do agree that Nissan has some nice blues in their lineup.
