One of the drivers avg’d 19 mpg on the day…oh, and he’s not young…not a “Chevy guy”*…and has a driver’s suit that says “Ford”. 

🤣

Corvettes are dope. New ones are cool but that modern supercar look all blends together for me. I want a super clean early c4 someday.

I love every. Gen Vett ever made . I think the 69 Stingrays are so cool and the 58’s front end is art work. 💯😎

A friend of mine builds 1 car a year to take to Barrett Jackson and it’s always a C1 corvette. A few years ago Kevin Hart was the one that bought it for a crazy $825,000.  Two people with too much money is a dream when auctioning a car. Every other year they sell for 50-60 % of that.

This 1980 was stolen from me and totaled by the thief after a car chase. This was a nice car, but very slow. Only 180 hp from the factory

IMG 2385 7.jpeg?VersionId=TKPu4WLZ Lj9Z2MseYvopvThank you! I bought that car as a basket case for $8500. I had about $11k total in it. I sold it to a guy that lived a few cities away. About 10 years ago I was cutting through a neighborhood to avoid traffic on my way home. I saw the back of an old corvette in a garage. The guy was doing yard work so I stopped and asked if he’d show it to me. I couldn’t believe it. It was my old car. The guy lives about a mile from me. He bought it with plans of making a vintage scca race car. It’s a basket case again. I’ve tried buying from him but he wants too much for it. He’s about 80 years old. I think some day he’ll come to the realization that he’s never going to finish it. He knows I want it. I hope he calls. This is a pic of where it sits today.

I thought I was gonna be a Corvette peep. My wife and I are both ‘63 models, so our plan was to buy a 63 split window in retirement. Figured we’d do the car show scene. Was never into cars, and I’m still healthy enough to ride, so we axed that plan. Still haven’t decided what to spend the Corvette money on  🤣

I have done some car shows, but most of the time if I plan on putting a car in a local show I drop it off and leave for most of the day.  I just struggle to sit there all day. I love cars but not always sitting there while people walk by.

I am a fan of the C8 and will be buying one next spring. A used Stingray in black..(I was planning to buy one this year but my wife decided she wanted to add a Yukon diesel to the fleet).

Also I will be buying a pair of white new balance, jeans shorts and a corvette hat to complete the look and plan to pick up my kid from school wearing this exact outfit..(for maximum embarrassment)..

Had a neighbor who had the same year.

He kept it clean, and very well maintained. 

Really pissed him off though when my Trans Am ate him up every time.

Not very exciting to drive. But I’ll tell you what 140mph felt the same as 70mph on the HWY.
