Emelia Hartford C8 TCM
 
Anyone else watch Emelia Hartford's YouTube channel? Of course, I only watch her channel for the deep C8 technical knowledge.

Thoughts about her crazy TCM problem? Yes. I know that she's hacked, wracked, and trashed her C8 well beyond what any normal C8 owner would. But is there something else going on?

She's done so much to that vehicle that it no longer is recognizable as a Corvette, mechanical-wise.

And needs a new clutch... yet... $180k cash offer. Lots I don't understand

I avoid that channel. It’s basically a performance shop prototyping parts they intend to sell later but using a model masquerading as a DIY Corvette owner. It’s perfect marketing bait for the average Corvette demographic.

$180k is nothing compared to what she's making off the channel using the C8. What will she do when she sells the star of her channel? The clicks will drop like a rock.

What would that be? Deviant middle aged man child?

I'm not sure it's a crazy TCM problem. They've twin turbo'd and built the engine and trans on a car you can't tune, and have to use a piggy back to trick it into running. They reset it, and it came back. I can't imagine anyone is expecting it to be perfect until it can be cracked or GM unlocks it.

Nothing against her. I think she’s trying to build a “brand” beyond YouTube and looks to me like she had a nose job recently to further a career where “appearance” matters. Wouldn’t surprise me if she dived into Hollywood more.

Who the hell cares!!! She is doing what she wants to do with passion, last time I checked that is what the America Dream is all about.

I predict the 458 spends less time in her hands than the C8 did.

I’m sure that’s the case and no judgement from me on what she wants to do. I just don’t have any interest in watching another scripted reality show.

It’s like wrestling, it’s fine if you want to watch it as long as you remember it’s not real.

Obviously, you care. :yesnod: I said I had nothing against her…

Whatever makes a person happy in life, I’m all for it. Keep doing what you’re doing Emelia.
