Hhmm. And to think my wife, from time to time, drops hints that I may have a "Corvette problem."

Very cool collection.

~Mike H. From Harrisburg, PA is better known as Streetspeed717 on YouTube. When Mike bought his Z06 from me last year he had 69,000 subscribers...since buying his Z06 he now has 450,000 subscribers on YouTube. I invited Mike down Friday morning on my day off to drive the Callaway 757hp Aerowagen that is on loan from Callaway for a couple of days. We also went to my house and I took him for a ride in my 1967 Marina Blue Corvette Cpe. Keep an eye out on his Youtube channel for both videos!! Mike has a deposit for a 2018 ZR1 with me.


Mike,

Congratulations on your recognition by GM And thanks for the time spent with the Callaway AeroWagen w/ SC757 Z06 Package

What a collection in that museum. The only one I have ever seen like it was a place call Corvette Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown New York.

Congrats on the honors from the GM brass. Most certainly well earned and deserved.

Noticed that your off-site deliveries included a couple of lady customers. Always nice to see that.

The Corvette Toy Store Tour...... Simply overwhelming!!!

"advised by Mary Barra, Chief Executive Officer of General Motors". Now that is true recognition to be known all the way up the chain of command, congratulations Mike.

Wow is all I can say. How cool is that to have the head honcho of GM herself extend adulation. Without question, you've earned it.

You deserve the recognition Mike.we all know it and glad others higher up in the corporate world recognize one of the main reasons they have such success with Corvette. And that's your passion for them.

your stories, delivery threads and your passion for this car is what turned me into a "maybe" upgrade from my 08 to a definitely and which one should I get. True story, you know the background to it.

Your presence at Carlisle alone I would bet contributes to numerous new Corvette purchases by otherwise procrastinators. Anyone who Spends 2 minutes with you is getting invaluable insight.

Hopefully that continues for decades to come. Can't wait to see you deliver the 4,000th !

Thanks as always for the amount of time you take out of your personal life to put smiles on our faces every Sunday.

2 of yours at cars n coffee millstone today. Lots of vettes all gens. Quick action to capture this C2 (didn't you have that one?) passing our cars!
2 of 43 made

ps -
That video you made with the YouTube guy was very entertaining. Love that C2 coupe Mike. Really is a gorgeous example. The speed alarm lol

always learn something new from you. Thanks buddy.
