Default Back to C8

Well had a 2020 when they first came out sold it 15 months ago thinking I could get a Z06. That has been a big GM joke so I’m next in line at dealer for a 2023 convertible.

Similar situation for me. Got a very early C8. Drove it 2 years and 12,000 miles. Sold it only to see the Z06 is not coming to my garage any time soon.
Bought a new 22 HTC, 3LT, Z51. The guy I bought it from drove it 110 miles from Macmulkin to his house and parked it. Plastic still on the seats.
Red Mist. So now I've had both a coupe and convertible.

Ditto...bought an early 20 and drove it for a year. Sold for a profit and nabbed a 21 HTC also drove that car for a year and sold for a profit.

My 23 gets built this week...still no where near to a Z06 but on the list for an E-RAY (#1 position).

I came close to selling my C8 and also on the list for a Z but I think it will be years more until I see one so I plowed more money into my 2020 C8 and will just keep it when and if I get a Z.
