If you want a high-performance, mid-engine thrill a minute, which would you rather have, a used exotic with possible service needs or a brand-new Corvette with a factory warranty covering the entire car for three years or 36,000 miles and the powertrain for five years or 60,000 miles?

Interesting. Wayne’s shop is about 90 minutes from me. I should take a ride out there one day, just to look around.

I find it hard to believe GM is not behind some of this... Hes not going to Bowling Green and a road trip back with out a camera crew. This will turn into some episodes of his show for sure!!!

It will definitely be an episode or two with the C8 making occasional cameos...

I would hope so! I really like Wayne's CCC show. I'd be all in for an episode (or a series

) featuring his new C8!

Might be a long wait, since he hasn't worked there in two years.

Rodger was the best part of that show. He is authentic and funny.

Wayne is just a car salesman who flips the classic cars for money. Rodger actually loves them.

Something wrong with the link, but I found this quote:

Quote:

My obsession with Corvettes began when my dad brought home a wrecked 1953, which he restored. In 1964, he bought a year-old split-window coupe; to 13-year-old me, it was love at first sight. In 1969, I traded my restored 1966 MGB for a Marlboro Maroon 1966 Corvette coupe. Over the years, I’ve probably owned 20 Corvettes, although I’ve rarely kept them long. My last was a 1966 427/435 roadster.

The thing is, Wayne can actually fit in a C1 Corvette and in any British Sports car including an MGB or Bug Eyed Sprite.

At my height I would have to rest my legs over the top of the Windshield.
