Rainy cool fall day with a bit of sun…while out chasing waterfalls, I saw a sharp bright blue current-style Mustang GT500 and a couple miles later, a C8 in a very similar color. Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. IMG_6045.MOV I think I was in about 8th grade, I remember a friend's mother drove an '83 Cutlass Supreme 2dr in that color...dark burgundy interior IIRC...I think I rode in it a couple of times..

I tried using the visualizer on the Corvette site to go through the color choices for the Z06, but it wasn’t working. It does sound like it will get a lot of color choices inside and out like the regular Corvette. I like that the Corvette has a lot of interior color choices, instead of just dour despair gray or black like so many performance cars. Edit: tried the visualizer again on Chrome, and it worked. Spec'ed one out the way I'd want it--Z06 convertible in Caffeine, w/ the bronze wheels, with Natural dipped tan interior, 'stealth interior trim' (non-carbon fiber, which works for me, as I find carbon fiber gross).

Yeah, I’ll find something appropos in my stash to do as a BBC restomod. Maybe something offbeat like a ‘72 Impala.

That is amazing to see that kind of power out of an NA engine..and so ordinary looking, looks like an old time hot rodder muscle car engine. A 1/25th scale version for model cars is already out, may have to get one to put in an AMT '70 Camaro or Chevelle.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393657722118?hash=item5ba7d42506:g:XDkAAOSwfBRhfFRB

Tahoe frame swap gone bad...old pic that has been here before IIRC...

Could be. I could also see an extreme hybrid range topper model as Porsche and Ferrari have done before.

Sounds like a place for a class action lawsuit if they are selling a vehicle with a defective frame. Of course, GM will probably blame the 3rd party that manufactured said frame.

The hybrid Corvette does sound interesting...going to be interesting to see where it fits in the lineup and how it's marketed...above the base, below the Z06? ...and I assume there is room for ZR1 at the top eventually...

I'd want a refund from GM then go shopping at the Jeep dealer for a Grand Wagoneer.

I'm looking forward to future road test results and comparison tests..sounds like it's a beast.

That comment shows how little you know of motorsports. Also, the C8R doesn't even race in the prototype class.. it races in the GTLMPro class in FIA WEC. Learn something about motorsports then come back.. (I’ve been a motorsports enthusiast for over 40 years and know a thing or two about the various series). Time to block you, no value in seeing your pointless posts anymore.

Random video I found on You Tube---$2000 Chinese electric truck--Chang Li Explorer--the front looks like a scaled down Silverado HD. Has a neat tilt bed.

It is a BOF vehicle, though, so swapping a frame is probably not an unusual thing, like with trucks. It's designed to be unbolted and put back together.

Who said anything about comparing the CR-8 to an F1 car?????? You’ve truly lost the plot. Stop acting obtuse. You do realize there are many forms of racing besides F1? The Corvette has competed and won in various sports car series for years...

Not ambiguous at all...when they talk race car, they mean the C8R. Pretty effin' obvious. No one is comparing a street car to an F1 car. But you are so obtuse, you can't see that.

It's British, that is expected.

'59 Edsel and a Lotus Elise. The Elise was sold in the US from '05-11..was the basis for the original Tesla Roadster. Neat little two seat mid-engined sports car...had a co-worker w/ a bright blue one in AZ, rode in it once--so tiny---scary in Scottsdale traffic w/ the all SUVs and lifted trucks on the streets....

I think both in Ohio and S Florida most of the regular 60s and 50s stuff was gone from the roads in the mid 80s (salt). There were a few 60s cars in my high school—maybe a 1/2 dozen, and only 2 from the 50s I remember—a ‘56 Ford pickup street rod and a late 50s MGA. The ‘60s cars I remember were the twins that had a pair of restored red ‘65 Mustangs—one coupe, one convertible, a rough brown ‘68 Mustang coupe, a rough blue ‘66 Mustang coupe, an orange ‘68 Road Runner, a dark blue ‘68 Charger, a gray ‘65 Coupe de Ville and a well worn ‘68 Comet 2dr.

When I was I high school, 4drs with bench seats weren’t aspirational though. They were thought of as parent and grandpa cars. Kids wanted sporty 2dr bucket seat hatchbacks—those were the cars we wanted in the mid 80s. But I had many friends that got hand-me-down sedans from their folks…I remember a pale green ‘77 LeSabre, a sweet red w/ white top ‘76 Electra Limited 2dr, a dark red ‘81 Delta 88, and a sweet triple silver ‘80 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance. Rode in all of them, often with 6 teenagers...they were comfortable, not cramped. Also remember a blue '75-78 Marquis 4dr and an early 80s Impala wagon. I drove my Dad’s ‘85 Town Car to school on occasion before I got my ‘87 Mustang GT.

Saw a new WL JGC L for the first time up close, front looks good. Hood and sides seem too flat ( I like the creases of my WK2). Not sold on the rear either. This one was a Summit. Also saw a sharp black ‘65 Mustang 2+2, and a Pro Street style ‘73 Buick Gran Sport. Dark blue w/ huge rear tires, giant bubble hood scoop, STGE 1 license plate. Great rumble.

Or to own a business called 'Brian's Laundry'.

From what I've read, pretty much everything from Ram, Dodge and Chrysler are carryover for 2022 with minor changes from 2021. 2022 is Jeep's year for new.

Another Sunday drive. Out in Ashtabula County again, saw two more covered bridges…cooler, wetter weather but scenic. Not much fall color. Crossed the Pymatuning Reservoir into Pennsylvania and went to Conneaut Lake. Nice roads, great scenery. Saw a CJRD dealer in the middle of nowhere with probably a dozen new Jeep GC Ls on the lot. Saw a red and white ‘64 Dodge Custom 880 2dr on a small town used car lot.

The Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer interior looks good in photos, haven't seen one in person up close yet. Too big/expensive for me to be interested in. I am curious about the new WL Grand Cherokee 2 row... I've seen a few WL GC Ls, not really sold on the new exterior styling yet...rather flat on the sides, missing the center hood crease that GCs have had since the original ZJ, odd C-pillar trim, don't really like the narrow taillights. The interior looks good in photos. Would like to sit in one eventually....maybe at the dealer next time I take my '14 in for service I can sit in an L.

It's interesting, on the Silverado EV mini site it's neat how they have the 'EV' in Chevrolet in blue.. https://www.chevrolet.com/electric/upcoming-all-electric-silverado?ppc=GOOGLE_700000001942090_71700000085568375_58700007303295442_p65589291623&d_src=313715&d_adsrc=3876783&d_campaign=71700000085568375&d_site=GOOGLE&d_adgroup=58700007303295442&d_keyword=silverado ev&gclick=CjwKCAjwzaSLBhBJEiwAJSRoku829qfz2r3GO0U7_WQxYGGI3ATZ4BQEYZDazfjcpKtEhPFqqOYsQBoC4VoQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjwzaSLBhBJEiwAJSRoku829qfz2r3GO0U7_WQxYGGI3ATZ4BQEYZDazfjcpKtEhPFqqOYsQBoC4VoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
