    Surprising absolutely nobody:

    “I won’t ever drive it," said Hendrick, who opts to tool around in a black GMC Tahoe SUV instead. "I’ll put it away."

    On a related note, the Corvette Museum is worth the stop if you're in the area and at all interested in this sort of thing.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Meanwhile in Detroit

    Car and Driver and MotorTrend have each published images of a black 2020 Stingray propped up on bricks with its wheels removed on a Detroit street.

    It’s sad to hear that the #1 C8 will simply sit.

    Perhaps the owner sees it as an investment? If so, maybe he could loan it out to the Corvette Museum. Their infrastructure abd preservation capability will be superior to that of any single individual, and time spent as a show car in the Museum may increase it’s value.

    Weird that it’s red. I was under the impression that the #1 car of a generation was traditionally white.

    The one in the photo op is a body double. It's a pre-production prototype. The real #1 VIN car hasn't been built yet, so it may not be red.

    If I'm not mistaken, Rick Hendrick bought it. His resources likely surpasses that of the museum's. And he regularly vies to buy GM's #1 VIN cars.

    I really dislike the C8, but I don't like the Camaro or the full sized trucks much either. To be honest, I really hate the Camaro's looks, and have since it was reintro'ed in 2009. GM is lost to me at this point. Even some of Ford's stuff looks better. This is coming from a 2 time Camaro owner (78 and 86) and one time Firebird owner (79). If the Challenger didn't exist, I guess I would be driving a (gulp) Mustang, and in general, I've never liked the Mustang's look much, regardless of what generation it was. But, it's better looking than the Camaro is. If there is a next gen Camaro, I hope GM gets off the drugs or whatever and makes it look good, but I have little hope they will.

    While I don’t dislike the C8, I think it’s a step down in looks. Personally, I think the C7 is one of the best looking cars Chevy ever made.
