I have owned more Corvette's than just about anyone on this forum, and I did not get an invite. And I could care less. All of this whining is giving me a headache.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get on the invite list, and I got two tickets for the reveal on 7/18/20.

Unfortunately, that week I have my plumber coming over to fix my toilet, so I won't be able to make it to the event.

If anyone wants my tickets, just message me, otherwise I was just going to see if anyone wanted to trade them for two tickets to the AVN award show .

I find a lot of people posting on Corvette Forum far more immature and obnoxious than Rick and unlike him they do nothing to promote the brand. Go ahead and flame me for saying it, but most of you know it's true.

I will add the folks who make definitive statements of "facts" that turn out to be just opinion and made up stuff. The level of intelligence on public forums drops to new lows every day.

Rick,
You can come by my Toyota dealership for the PDI of the 2020 Supra. I’ll shoot you a PM!

You'd be including Conti in that one. Careful. LOL

Well the Crocodile tears video is a bit much. I have gotten some useful info from some of his content. Now as far as the future of Corvettes C8 reveal, well he killed that at the bash with that video and Crocodile tears because no one at GM gave him a pat on the back for his cameo suit. The lives of all the people and their families that work at GM and of coarse the stock holders, are not concerned with Ricks You Tube channel they are trying to make a living and show us their latest product in the most professional way possible. That does not include Ricks clown show!!!!

I am wondering that, and more. Like why GM would want to highlight a clown of a salesman.

If the clown antics work for him, good for him. But if I were GM, I'd want do put a little distance between the corporate image and the clowns.

Montu, considering Rick is a forum vendor, there is the right way and, the wrong way. In the eyes of the majority that responded to this forum, Rick chose the latter. Not one of us said at any time that he did not have the right to vocalize his displeasure.
