Vanity & Vettes....
Hmmmmm......are Vette people Vain ? .....perhaps they care more about their cars then other people do ?!?!?
After showing & boring almost every co-worker here about my ride and the 'new' wheels it made me wonder. Not to mention the times I spend at home just starring at my car & taking photos as if she were Courtney *** in a bikini. :crazy: .....vote below for your vanity level.

Most of my friends & coworkers are rather indifferent to it. :( Its just an old car to them. To me its a beautiful work of art with much blood, sweat and tears invested. Once i take them for a ride in it though and they experience hte power, handling and braking, their eyes are opened. :)

Re: Vanity & Vettes.... (verskel)
I don't know where I fall. I just do my best to take extra special care of the things I've been blessed with. I'm not taking any of it when I leave this world, but I want to take care of it while I'm here.
I happen to be an automotive nut, so really it wouldn't matter if I had a couple of Vettes or not. In fact, since I was 16 and got my first car, people I know have always been impressed with how I maintain my car(s). Just the other day I had a guy ask me if I got a new truck. Uh, no, I've had it for 4.5 years and its got 42k miles on it, to which he replied that it looked brand new.
So maybe I'm just a certifiable "car guy", and am fortunate enough to be a part of the Vette family.
Am I vain? Well, I do get irritated when people park too close to me, or put their hands all over my car as they walk by. That is annoying, among other things.

P.S. You forgot one selection. Vain becuase I make my Vette look good.

I get to many compliments from people not to realize its a nice car ( if they only knew how much of a money pit she was...) Any vette is a nice car by definition, our sharks even more so.

I bought my Corvette after more than 25 years of 'thinking' about it in-spite (most) Corvette owners appearing vain, simply because I WANTED a Vette...
