That's about the same percentage as a gallon of gas over the same time period. Coincidence?

They went up everywhere, some bull about a national backorder of the wheels!!!!!! Sounds to me like the corvette tax is hitting big time. Supply and demand, if no one orders and they tarnish in the warehouses, then the price will come down!!!!!!!

Just don't forget...WE are the "DEMAND" in 'Supply and Demand'
The demand goes down...So does the price

Quite a jump. That should take care of some of the demand side of the equation.
