Why did you "got rid of" and did you order these or skip the lineup?

my wife wanted a boat and jet skis I didn’t want to have my c8 also. My first one was retail on cost so I did well when I got it. This one I paid 5k over no wait I have a friend that works at dealer which isn’t bad given the market to not wait

Whatever it is, it's a four door so definitely not a C8.

Good looking car. Funny how colors photograph. I do not like the yellow color in the picture but have seen quite a few live and the color is awesome. Definitely necessary to see a color in person before buying, except maybe black or white.

In my case I was driving a Honda CR-V drooling over the new C8s and gf said sell that boat and you can afford any car made. Yep. Funny. I don't miss sailing much.

Yes got all new
boat and jet skis with the money and profit from my first rapid blue htc. It was owned outright so it was a nice down payment on the watercraft. I waited a year or so to see how the market
was going to be and bought this one

agreed. I love this color , different stroke for different folks. I prefer the orange but this is the one I could find and not pay to much over retail
