Default Sat in a C8 today

In the local dealers showroom. What an incredible car! Everything about it is great. They were willing to take my order and down payment. Just not sure what model year!

But, I would ha e to keep my 78 along side it. Dealer must feel the same way he had his 1958 on display as well. Couldn't sit in that one.

Ah to dream.

I almost went to look at one at a local dealer today but didn't. Heard 2020 was just about sold out. I'll give them a year or two to work out any bugs before I decide.. Not too sure about putting the heat generating engine, auto trans and diff in same tight area coupled with spirited driving on a hot day?

My good friend wants to buy one, he currently has a C1, C2, & C3. I called my local dealer in Austin but there is a waiting list to get on the waiting list! Not sure what to do at this point?

The gotta be the first on my block guys, ALWAYS get it in the shorts!

1. Chevy History is CLEAR, you don't want to buy the first year. (until it's 10 years old).
2. By next year the improvements will have been made.
3. The stike will be over.

This reminds me of 68-69. 83,84
