It's been a while since I've been here. The C8 has a dedicated area. Looking good, but Sebring Orange is still my favorite 😍

A bit of funny just like production vin counting. The rep says only 4 years including 2024. I attempted to have her start at 2020 as year 1, but there was no hope.

I forgot to mention that when I mentioned to the Chevy Rep that I already own a C8, she said "you better keep it because it is going to be the last ICE corvette ever." She said it with a bit of certainty insider information- whatever that may be worth or true, but i think that is going to be the case. So much for falling resale value I guess.

I saw that car 3 weeks ago there and I was also talking to the rep, She told me that Chevy wanted to put the E-Ray on display but the hallway where they bring the cars into that one area where the C8 is, was to narrow as the E-Ray is a much wider car. Don't think you'll be seeing that in there unless there is some demolition to be done.

I was just admiring it a few weeks ago. The rep there was quick to chat me up as well. She definitely knew her stuff.

Still love that ride and seeing a C8 on the way out was icing on the cake. That may have been the first one I saw in person.
