That car belonged to me. I sold it to another friend. Actually a pretty nice, low mileage car. How did you like the 488?

You mean the one with the misaligned trim on the side and what look like stamped steel wheels?

What's a 488? Never heard of it.

If you are talking about the 488, it has trim aligned as well as my 2012 GS Vert.

Just joking around, it's just the camera fish eye creating that effect. You're 'Vette looks fantastic and I should know better than to use that kind of humor on the internet.

OK wise guy it's a 488 GTB. As for your comment on the C5: You must be one of those elitists that looks down on people that can't afford what you can. My friend who owns the Ferrari is a surgeon with over 60 cars in his collection. My buddy who owns the C5 is a landscaper who works his *** off. That car is his pride and joy. Both great guys. I have friends from all walks of life. They enjoy what they can afford and I enjoy all of my friends regardless of their portfolio. Plenty of room for everyone in the car hobby. Too bad there are those that don't seem to understand that.

It seems we are having some miscommunication humor again.

Remember. Emoji’s are our friends. They let others know you were only joking with the dry sometimes humorless humor... ; ).

well… You told me ... :@

Iron V, you strike me as a half glass full type of person. My advice to you is to keep that glass half full of your favorite whiskey, scotch, vodka or other spirits and drink it swiftly. Continue to refill that glass halfway and repeat until the car is revealed. Either way you’re bound to have fun and enjoy the reveal much much more!

I think that's good advice for anyone at any time. In my case, it would be a nice Harlan County adult brown beverage...

On just one tiny serious note. Your renders are FAR more attractive, sexy and Vette-like than that frightening 360-degree thing from outer space.

So we got that goin' for us... which is nice.

thanks!
I think my rendering gives a fair approximation of the basic car but feel that the real car will be much more dynamic and dramatic looking.

in fairness to the 360° rendering, it was no doubt captured fairly quickly in order to give a basic idea of what the car may look like in the round. No one is getting paid to spend days or weeks getting everything exact after all. It does not try to capture all of the exact lines but merely tries to show the basic shapes so we should not be projecting if you will like the final product or not from these imaginings. Just a fun way to discuss and bide our time...


come on GM. Throw us a bone!

An engineers perspective is that the glass has twice the required capacity.

Don't be so obtuse. My retorts were complimentary and an obscure appraisal of the C5 over the 488.

Ok. I don't normally get that defensive. Your comments could easily be misconstrued.

These prompts at the bottom of each post, replaced the emojis. They were labeled also. I used the 'crazy' one most. Bring 'em back I say.
