I love your C8.

My wife has a Tesla and loves it, and you can’t deny the brutish other-worldly acceleration in “ludicrous mode.”
But I like the sounds my car makes and it accelerates almost as fast as the Tesla, but with more drama and is more fun on our our SoCal twisties.
It doesn’t however handle like the M5s of yore. My F90 is a fat pig with a big heart and lungs and will never be a greyhound. Still, it suits me for my weekly 100 mile commute and that’s why I bought it. Instant transformation from an effortless cruiser to a beast who can scare the c**p out of you in all-out mode.
I suspect the C8 gives you even more of the visceral edge of pants feel. It is a purer instrument for driving.

Awesome, and so little compromise

While part of me misses the stuff-a-bike-in-it cargo hold of the C4-C7 generations, I have to admit that this is impressive. Normally, the convertible version of a coupe looks compromised without the fixed roofline, but this is almost identical to the cou...
Superb in every way, this C8.

I have an M5 Comp as a daily driver, also in white and also in SoCal. I hope these are are not the last of the marvelous V8 machines. ...
I hope you are right

Electric is nice; I’m on my second hybrid and had one all-electric, but Internal Combustion can’t be beat. Cazalea

You put your safe on a pallet, the thieves can just come and drag it out 😄. Are your Seikos stored in there ? About the car .... that so7nd 😱😱 you don’t hear that over here in the good old EU 🤮.
I know I know

All I have in the safe is paper. No Seiko. Besides, you couldn’t even see my safe (where it is now) two weeks ago, before I cleaned the garage for the Corvette. In addition, 99% of the time the Volt is blocking the garage because that’s where the charge c...
