Default Hello everyone!
Hi all! I just got my new 2024 C8 2 days ago and am super excited to have finally gotten my dream car. Some background, I'm 46 and have owned previously a 1981 280zx, 1980RX7, a few trucks (currently 2018 TRDOR) as well as many passenger cars and a few classics 1967 Barracuda and currently 1964 Barracuda. My latest car was a 2022 Supra 3.0 that I sold to buy my C8. My C8 is a Riptide Blue 1LT with performance exhaust with black tips and carbon flash wheels (hate em) and no other options. I got it for a great price a couple grans off msrp and couldn't be happier. It is a big step up from the Supra 3.0 . Well I hope to learn alot from others experience on here and it's nice to meet you all! Attached is a couple pics.
