At 70 now I consider myself a senior so I hang with the other seniors (big church) at Wednesday Night Fellowship. It's the ladies at the table that seem most interested in seeing or riding in Lola.
The older guys take a look from outside and decide it's too hard to get in and out. The older gals fall in, and climb out with a big ole smile

Woman here, and I've purchased two vettes in the past year - C6 and C7. And seriously thinking about a C3 to add to the family. Vette addiction knows no sex distinction (hey, that even rhymed!)

We're all not the same!
Since I am a female and have owned muscle cars and a 95 Corvette and am patiently awaiting my new 2014 Stingray, I disagree with your generality. I was at the bank securing my financing and when the female employees heard about what I was ordering they all came over to see the picture and they all knew it was a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray!!!!!

Yesterday I took my C7 to have her windows tinted. They guy who owns the place asked could he take photos after he finished the job for their website, I said yes sure. It was raining yesterday, so I took my "detail" bag out of the back and began touching her up as he was going to take photos. He said wow you really are a car woman you detail your own car 
I let it slide....
Still working on the car and one of his assistants come in...and says
"It is nice of you to bring your HUSBAND'S car in to have the windows tinted"
really...really
I smiled and said "no, it is my car, my husband has not even driven it, doesn't really want to, and even more amazing I know how to detail it"

No one touches the body of my vette, except me! And my vette goes nowhere without glass cleaner, spray detailer and microfiber cloths.
Speechless on the second statement ... duhhhhh?
Just love it (not!) when I contact vendors via PM or email and forget to sign my name, and am invariably addressed as "Sir".
Best one when I was shopping for a new dually to pull the horse trailer. I had this doof make the mistake of addressing me as "honey". Not once, twice. I really tried to take the high road, and I let it go both times.
But he then had the nerve to call me a day later and ask me if he was going to be able to sell me the dually. I proceeded to educate him about women who purchase their own vehicles (common, a DUALLY!) and if he wanted to earn business he needed to figure out how to address people respectfully. And that it would be over my dead body that I'd purchase a vehicle from someone who addressed me as "honey".
