I replied "Yeah, vintage 2014." What a strange question.

I wonder what she was really trying to ask, oh well not a car person but at least had an eye for a Corvette.

Maybe she was trying to start a conversation with the driver.

Should have asked her what she meant by vintage? She may not have even known it was a Corvette.

Hope she was shapely and good looking.
If they don't have brains, the other two will help.

Being that she might be a wine drinker, she wanted to know the vintage ( year ) as it is so fine!

Maybe she meant since it wasn't mid-engine.

Nope, Corvettes are supposed to have "Round" tail lights. <- That confused her...

Default "Vintage"
Maybe she was drinking, slurred her words and meant a Vantage?

Well, this conversation took place in a pharmacy, so maybe she forgot to take her meds.
