I have to laugh at the "they are everywhere" -- as in 150,000+ made.... "that ain't very many"... if we do "raw" math that's only 3,000 cars per state. Now, we can rightfully assume that there are not 3,000 C8s in Hawaii, nor in Alaska, nor in states such as Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, etc.... So, there will be more Corvettes in more populated areas. And while there may be, say, 3,000 in the Dallas/Ft.Worth Metroplex, DFW has a population of around 8 million...rendering 3,000 in the DFW Metroplex as "sort of insignificant"....

One thing I do love though, is the cachet of owning a car that is not all that common -- it's "delicious!"

Man, I see them everywhere. I was at a car show a couple months ago and C8's had the largest group. I was surprised.

Yes agree. Have been out two times since my last post and have seen C8s both times again...as usual. A black and an orange one (if you guys in LWR FL are on here).

BTW - Tampa Tuning. You should try the cars coffee in Sarasota (at the UTC shopping mall) March 9th. Predictably, there will be a large C8 crowd with their cars attending.
