Corvettes are great cars but nothing compares to good food and drink. If I had to choose going through life without good food and drink or a Corvette, I'm saying goodbye to the Corvette.

They also must've never owned a C5!!! The C7 cup holders are perfection compared to those LOL.

Drank a bunch of coffees on my way back from MacMulkin. 17 hours straight. Never even noticed an issue with the cup holder.

Only surprise is that the prices weren't raised earlier than now.

I have never used the cup holder in any of the cars I owned for drinks. I usually leave an ID or door opener in my cup holder.

Hmm, IF you could pick it up at the factory, same $1095 shipping charge. Deal they cut with shippers, Bowling Green or San Diego same price. (Common in some Industries called Uniform Delivered price etc. Customer pays the same price for shipping weather next to he plant of several thousand miles away. Has nothing to do with Unions or special "deals." An easy way to price product where product can come from factory, local warehouse etc. Also voids advantages of a competitor who may be closer. Truck loads of steel, welding wire etc often use that method!)

But you can pick it up at the Museum. Then it’s the $1095 PLUS their ~$1000 fee!

Corvettes are assembled in KY, but the parts that make up the Corvette are manufactured all over the world. That includes steel and aluminum from Canada.
