Rob, average age of a new Corvette buyer is 59 and the Vette does not have a back seat.

Being 59 is not equivalent to being decrepit, at least it sure as hell was not in my day.

A chick car? No way.

What you smoking in that cigar of yours?
'Chicks' cannot appreciate serious performance cars?

Women certainly can. However, saying something is a "chick car" is a pejorative. No real woman would want a "chick car"!

Barbara, this was meant to be a light hearted thread.
Would be great if more women bought Corvettes other than us old geeks. I was 57 when I bought mine and it is a 6 speed manual. 55 was the average age of a vette owner then!

For the past several decades, the Corvette has been a car for middle-aged men in the throes of a mid-life crisis. It's kind of a shame, given its value/performance ratio. However, I think it's firmly stuck appealing primarily m to that demographic.

Yeah Corvettes are for guys with Low-T.....

a woman once told me that her father was always afraid of her going out with guys who owned those VW vans....maybe that is the true chick magnet car lol
