Big line of tornadoes went through Bowling Green, KY last night where the Corvette plant was. Corvetteforum guys were saying the plant was reported on fire and status of the Corvette Museum was unknown....

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I was very wrong in my pre-COVID predictions for C7 prices. I figured they'd plummet with the C8 coming in at $60k. And maybe that would have been the case had the C8 been readily available at MSRP, but it seems to have stirred up a lot of new Corvette attention and prices are up across the board.

I understand skipping the first year of the C7, but what’s the logic of the last year? You’ll probably find best deals on a 2014 for the C7. Aside from reasons already mentioned, I’d certainly skip the 2014 if you go with an automatic. That still had the lazy 6 speed auto. 2015 introduced the 8 and not only two more gears, but it shifts like a performance transmission should.
Just assuming that the last year of the run would command more of a premium than it might otherwise.
The transmission issue was one of the reasons I was thinking best to skip the first year, in addition to just general “never buy the first model year”.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
When we bought our 2019, that was our reasoning for not waiting for the 2020. Good thing since said wait would have been a lot longer than initially projected.
I saw a report that Corvette production will be suspended for a week.
This is at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park, which is at the same location as the assembly plant:
This is a must-see series of videos. Actor/fighter/musician Idris Elba has series on the history of cars with three 45 minute episodes with him tracing the history of cars and driving different types of cars all over the world. It's amazing. He looks at the first cars, tours Detroit, looks at street racers, goes to a Nascar track and other racing sports, and drives a lot of cool cars at fast speeds. Here is a link to the first in the series--the rest are available on youtube:
Second video: Idris learns how to drift and drive a lot of older and contemporary street cars:
third video: Idris learns how to Rally Drive:

That third episode was just amazing. It is rare for someone to fail on camera and Idris has my respect for taking that risk. I am also crazy jealous!
