Newbe from NC
Last Vette I owned was a 1968 Roadster. Sold 5 years ago and now jumping back in. Taking delivery of a White C8 convertible in March. 75 yo form the mountains of NC and love riding my Road King. Been to Sturgis 20+ times and going back in August. Came on this board seeking info about exiting the C8 as i'm old with a bad left knee, we shall see. .

You wouldn't happen to be referring to the Clemson Tigers would you?

Yes Sir, all the bandwagon fans will be gone after this year. They had a "BAD" year!! The part-timers don't have a clue.....I lived through the Ingram/Parker years.
