Default This Car Gets Too Much Attention!!!

I just got my new silver 06 vette and this baby gets too much attention everywhere i go, people ask about the car, I was at the car wash today and people just jumped all over the car and were asking me millions of questions about the car. I dont mind the attention, but sometimes it gets annoying I LOVE THIS CAR

Drive it around a while and you get used to being stared at, Then take another car (Suburban, in my case) and its like you don't exist!.

Never too much attention. I think its to have people stare, ask questions, wish they could drive one, etc.

I know what you mean. When I purcahsed my C5, it was amazing how much attention it attracted from people I didn't even know.

No doubt about it, Vettes are special. My 67 gets even more attention. Heck, the day after I bought it in Michigan in 2002, on the drive home to California, a guy in Tulsa even offered me $20,000 more than I had just paid for it! Every gas stop was a convention of guys and gals who used to own one, wanted one, had a relative with one, etc., etc., etc. People even thanked me for driving my Sting Ray out on the interstates, so they could see it! Yup, we have special cars here.

At least you can get away from the excess attention very fast if you want to.

Had my C5 in Europe where Corvettes are quite rare to see. Children would surround the car. They recognised it form their video games but had never before seen one in person. They were great.

Silver is the most steathliest color to get not noticeable because every other car out there is silver. Just think if you got yellow or red.

VY in LA. Kind of hard not to notice.

Every head turns. I knew that going in and picking yellow.

What are you going to do? Print up 8x10's with you and the Vette and sign autographs.
