Every vette is cool..I've always liked the c3 owned a red 79..like you said not fast but I loved it.
A few years later i went to look at a black 82 collectors car, it was gorgeous, we had a young son so the wife waited while I drove it.
I got back and talked to the owner for a while. On the way home, I talked to the wife about it and finally asked, "well what do you think"?. Her response, "it looks like the batmobile".
I was appalled . No matter what I said I couldn't get her to accept the car.
Years later I kinda got her back. Owned an 05 350z that she loved..after owning it for a while I put it up for sale, when the buyer came out my wife asked, what's going on. I said I'm selling the z . She was not happy
