And no, it’s not a Blazer, Silverado, or Camaro shitpost
One of my best friends actually lives in Bowling Green, where he sends me pictures of new Corvettes on an almost daily basis.
Please enjoy this Torch Red one.
Shoutout to Andrew Jackson for the pictures
It looks absolutely delicious.

It’s a 1981 Lotus Esprit Turbo, but ok.

Very Ferrari in that color, not bad at all.
But more pictures will be necessary if Andrew wishes to make up for the Trail of Tears. Perhaps a blue one this time

What’s your friend’s opinion on the Federal Reserve abandoning the use of gold and silver as specie currency in favor of paper fiat currency?
Also, kudos on the whole immortality thing.

Not sure, but he did get me a nice blanket for my birthday.

The more I think about the C8, the more I think I would be content with a C7.
Their prices have gone down lately and I’m not able to push the limits of a C7 , say a grand sport, let alone how capable the C8 will likely be.

Everything was looking OK until I saw that rear end...

No Corvette badge on the front...?

Presumably removed because preproduction or something

Hey, there is absolutely no reason to drag a beautiful wedged Lotus into this.

I think I have been seeing them on a open car carrier. About 8 all wrapped in plastic sheeting. Can’t tell if they are C7 or C8, I’ve been assuming 7’s but I’m not sure when the production will completely change over.

Pro tip: l ook for the exhaust tips. T hey usually don’t cover the exhaust tips because they have to live the cars and the c8 has the exhaust on the corners of the rear while the c7 has them in the middle.

You would think so, but I’m betting t hat prices would go up. Last of the front engine Corvettes before millennials ruined it and whatnot

It’s so ugly it’s almost cute.
Just like me.

Beat me to it, but I’m glad we agree.

Can’t scope that out while driving opposite way of corvettes on highway.

Does a tin foil hat crinkle?

That’s why you do your civic duty and cut across the median, whip a u-turn, pace alongside the truck, and hang out the window taking pictures

Local dealer has a c7 z06 for roughly 55k and I couldn't help but wonder if I could or would get a C8 over something that insane

I’ve been hating on these things, but I have to say the tan interior works.
The taillights and wing are bugly.

I’m really warming up to this whole idea of the Corvette as a supercar. It’s not anything like what went before in the Corvette legacy, no matter what Chevy might say in the marketing. It’s a complete break. Once I get used to that, I prefer it to just about any other Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.

Immortality kinda sucks, just like paper currency

FWIW they always transport them from the plant to dealers that way. Also I’m still only seeing C7 leaving BG.

It took me a month to find the red one, there is also a black one and silver one running around BG at the moment.

I resurrected my account just to post this, but yeah it rocks in person.

I was not a fan of the c7 styling, too radical without a very cohesive feel.
That said, I'm surprised how much this c8 styling is growing on me. Looking forward to seeing one in person.

Man, I really like the way these look... until you get to the rear. That straight-on rear shot is not flattering in the slightest, geez.

Am I the only person who likes it from every angle?

I couldn’t figure it out but your pictures just shined light on it.
Know how when you pet a cats head too h ard and their face does the stretchy back thing? That’s the C8. The entire face it’s stretched all the way back til you get to the back and it’s bunched up.Sammy will demonstrate. A normal car
And then the c8
(Don’t worry he loves when I do it /not animal abuse)
