My wife likes it. Her only complaint is " That car gets more rub downs than I do ".

She hasn't even sat in it. Don't bother me one bit. She don't like any of my vehicles. In this case its a blessing.My 3 year old son however has claimed the car since I brought it home in 6 or 7 months ago. That's all that matters to me.

My wife is happy I enjoy my car. She takes rides, she'll take a trip, she'll even go to a car show once in while. She won't drive it but she never complains about it.

She did say one time my head was too big for the car after I won a trophy.

She likes it. When I told her I wanted to get back into a Vette, she groaned with a "aren't you over that yet?" comment. But when I brought home the spiral gray coupe she took one look and said "Nice!".
BUT if I decide to move to a C6 or C7, I don't expect it to be very easy.

The last woman I dated, I think she was jealous of me, seems weird a woman could do that.

She put it down, it sits too low, the air dam scrapes on the driveway, she does not like Chevy.

She told me her favorite car was

I tried real hard not to laugh, and be a jerk like her, I said oh cool.

Then she said it sits up higher than a Corvette, rides smoother, and is faster than a Corvette.

I guess that hermaphrodite of a car did have a supercharger installed, but I would not want it!

My wife loves it and she looks great in it. She is a beautiful woman and it is a beautiful car. I did have to settle for an A4 so she could drive it, but it was much better than buying the Miata she wanted in the first place. I will one day add a manual Vette to our garage so she cant drive it!!!!!!

My Fiancé likes my C4 Coupe, but she likes my Grandfather's C5 Vert because it's faster and it's a convertible. I'm going to surprise her with a Black Rose Metallic C4 Vert as her wedding gift because purple's her favorite color.

Girlfriend likes my car. I'm usually never in it alone these days. We always go out in it together.

She likes the car but the louder it gets, the less she likes it. I don't judge her on that because I prefer her being quiet as well.

I have 6 Corvettes in my garage...and my wife does tolerate riding in them BUT will not drive them ..but she loves hers feaken minivan.

I'd love to have that Avanti...a fellow local Corvette club member owns an original Avanti as well as a 2002 or 3 Avanti convertible that came from the current manufacturer with C5 running gear engine and trans ...that is one nice unusual car

His only Vette is a BB 69 MONSTER

Haha, mine was in the shop once and the only rental vehicle they had was a minivan.... Everywhere I went I parked where I couldn't be seen. Needless to say, no minivan for me
