I know it’s very nice.....too bad you had to scale back and sell the Vett, I am sure you miss it! Go get some ice cream in that nice ATS Cadillac. You earned it!

Porsche Cayenne and Macan are cool SUVs and the only Porsche vehicles I would consider owning at this point. Very nice pair of vehicles you have there.

Maybe when you sell your Lexus RX350 you can find a nice used Porsche SUV......they are nice like everything Porsche sells. Wish I lived closer so I could take you for a ride in my 911......might even let you drive it😜

Simply amazing how you concern yourself with and make derogatory comments about other members personal finances that you obviously know nothing about. Very weird indeed. Not surprising I guess coming from a blatant troll who calls Corvette owners "broke bastards".

I know it brings comfort for you to bring others into your less than favorable financial position. But again, you don’t require much.....just a bottle of Budwiser and a couple of point A to point B cars. We all know you hate Porsche’s, expensive jewelry or wine that doesn’t come with a screw cap. You are the epitome of the working class man that likes to throw mud at anyone that has more than you.......and that would be everyone. Go get yourself another Corvette and be happy.....live is too short to always be a grump.

Sorry but I'll pass on the 911 ride as I have already owned 2 of them. Hope you get a new one some day, shouldn't be to tough for a guy who claims to have a $650,000 annual income. LOL!

I wish my father-in-law was a car guy, he makes over a million a year, but I don't see a cent of it going towards a car. That being said, If I work hard enough I'll be able to afford the c9z when It releases lol...Btw,I've never got the chance to ride on a supercar / or any car that has more than 300hp outside a parking garage... So to anyone who wants to give me a ride I'm up for it haha

Too funny troll.
I hate wine and that is whether it has a cork, screw cap or out of a barrel.
Yes, I will be getting another Corvette, a new one which will be number 11 for me. Really nice to know that I have your blessings in that acquisition. Hope you get that new 911 someday, certainly would be a great social crutch for a guy with your obvious insecurities. In the meantime you can just keep hating on Corvettes and the guys who enjoy them.

Thanks, and I hope you can get back in the game and pick up a nice used Corvette some day soon. Great cars and the C7 is an awesome value at the current time! Glad we are back on friend terms. If the C8 is a disappointment then a new 911 will be on order. Unlike the new C7 I took a bath on....the 911 will bring more than I paid for it a year ago. Sweet!

My contention with C8 is it’s engineering is way outdated. Nothing exciting about a mid engine pushrod, large displacement car.
GM. Might as well have contracted Factory Five to build cars for them. They’ve been building mid engine cars for years

While the past 6.2 is a great engine for trucks and SUV’s and served the past C7 fine.....it’s not a very sophisticated power plant. I would like to see a twin turbo charged v6 along with active aero......but I understand GM is trying to deliver a low cost sports car that delivers good performance numbers so they can sell over 30,000 of them a year and that’s also a problem. Good for GM.....not so good for the new purchaser when it comes time to sell. I would rather see a better product with a higher price and more limited production.

I would like to know how many Museum deliveries you have taken and how many times you have attended the Ron Fellows driving school. Surly a loyalist like you has done that every time.

So adding some digits auto-magically (poof!) results in a ‘world-class’ car? And, uhhhh, what shortcomings are you referring to? Awwww did GM go and reveal the car behind my back?

You may be new to GM, but fit and finish and quality of materials has never been a Chevrolet hallmark. I have owned tons of them....with many costing more than nicely equipped Corvettes. You know as well as I do that not much can be accomplished at a 65k price point. Even volume can’t overcome a shallow budget. Pickups cost more.

If Honda can screw a car together in Ohio & sell it for $25,000 having good exterior seams & tight interior fit there is no reason GM can't do one for $65,000 in Kentucky. Don't think that humongous plant is set up to do limited production cars. The fixed cost would be off the charts.
As for your favorite foil why not just put him on the ignore list. Very simple solution to the issue. Works for me.
Its getting close to the reveal & not much more thats real to talk about. The forum is quickly descending into tinfoil hats time to ward off Venusian Ray beam brain waves.
