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

A chick car? No way.

'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!
