I agree as anyone who thinks their C7 (M7 or A8) is going to be worth more in the future than it is now is dreaming. As soon as Bowling Green starts spitting out C8s by the thousands C7 prices are going to plummet M7 or not.

You know we’re kind of getting off topic here but I will say this, times are surely changing. I’m 63 and I’ve always been a gear head, car enthusiast, motor head, speed freak, etc. I was driving, racing, and working on cars long before I had a drivers license. I cut my teeth leaning to drive on a three speed shift on the column manual transmission. I’ve owned and loved many different cars from GTOs to Trans Ams to Camaros to Corvettes to Buick Grand Nationals to dare I say it even a couple of Ford Mustangs. Most of the cars had manuals, some were automatics with shift kits installed, all were fast and fun to drive.
I remember when almost every young person couldn’t wait until the day came when they got their driver’s license, now that interest is declining rapidly and the favorite mode of transportation is uber or something similar.
While there are car enthusiasts still out there among the younger group, that group is becoming smaller and smaller.
Times change, people change, and cars change. Maybe these PBC Plaques are a really a way to make the Chevrolet Internal Combustion Engine manual performance cars extra special as they fade away into the sunset.
We now return you to your regular program

It is a real shame how many kids/teens these days aren't even getting a driver's license. When we grew up we spent an entire childhood dreaming of the day we would get our license. Things are changing in all kinds of ways and not necessarily for the good.

You and I are the same age and grew up the same, loving anything with wheels and a motor. Those 3 on the column would always hang up and you had to get under the hood and jiggle the linkage.
