I think the C8 is the best sports car buy anywhere. I'm on my 2nd one.

@@RobertMacCready appreciate it I’ll have one once I get ride of my Daytona 392 Charger. It’s shocking you’ve had 20 corvettes total but it says a lot about the car

True story!!! 😀

Wife and I have worked very hard, over the many years we've been married. It's been a great collaboration. She even let me race my Corvettes for about 20 years. (Mostly autocrossing and track events) We've bought houses when we should and sold all of them for a profit. Not sure if I'd call it luck or just using our heads. Maybe a bit of both. Best move we ever made was to Florida. I love this state. Yes, it's hot in the summer but air conditioning here is great. And I can drive my Corvette year-round. And the folks here are very friendly.

You can't base success on a $500 DJI drone,; 20 Corvettes, maybe

Don't forget to thank God for having the ultimate say-so!

Love the driveway, that cost as much as the Vette?

It would be foolish to pay those highly inflated prices for a corvette when MSRP is around 70k.

@@diznutz5110 I’ll wait a few years and get a slightly used one and save huge……..Hopefully 👍🏼

@@wasntme3651 But you don't get the $100K+ new car smell.

@@citydrums7525 I can get that for free by going to the dealer and sitting in a new car whenever I want 😉

It's been an amazing run. I can't believe it myself.

Wave is saved. Thanks Sandee!!

Thanks! Appreciate your comments. I used to be a snowbird and I remember being excited to get back to Florida too!

Thanks for the comment.

Appreciate the comment! Thanks!

Thanks Ken.

I sped up the clip so the traffic looks very quick. Fortunately it is nowhere near that speed !

Thanks! I've bought a couple of Corvettes from MacMulkin. Great dealership. Appreciate your comments.

@@greenrush4313 I'm #3 on the Z06 list at my local dealer here in FL. Probably MIGHT see the car SOMETIME next year...MAYBE!!

Nice!!! You'll have many miles of smiles with that beautiful care. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Your gonna love it!!

THANKS!!

Appreciate the comment.

@@RobertMacCready do u have a video of any issues you may have had with the C8?

@@illpoetic1981 Really no issues so no video. Did pick up a nail in a rear tire. I didn't buy the tire warranty, so that cost me!! That's about it. Car has been amazingly solid and a blast to drive.

@@RobertMacCready thanks for the feedback!

So you are not ready to go slower?

Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

This is what Ford could have done with the FGT, but they wanted to act like Ferrari. Glad GM went this route and made the world's best dollar for dollar sports car.

You're welcome.

Thanks!!

Thank You!

My first Corvette was a '66 and, like you, should have tucked it away somewhere. A C8 Convertible would be sweet. That top is fun to see in operation.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

That should be a very exciting experience for you. The car is amazing. Many miles of smiles for you for sure.

Thanks! Appreciate your comment!! And there has to be another 50hp in a tune (except, you cannot access the car's computer right now and it would void your warranty)

I believe he is talking about The Z06 version that has 670hp

Did you purchase two corvettes? I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, you said "mines"? Do you mean singular or double? Or do you mean coal mines? Diamond mines?

That's correct and good points. Z mode does shut off when you turn off the car. My Mode will retain your settings but it defaults back to touring. I'm going to pin your post so that it's up on top. Thanks again for your input.

I would like it better if it defaulted back to the drive mode you were in before using Zmode. Zmode is usually only something I use temporarily cause it’s like a jet in after-burn and afterburners glowing means you’re burning a lot of fuel....

Thanks for your comment.

And someone else takes care of the back yard too...😃

Thanks!!

Agree!

If the channel gets big enough, I'll be happy to give away all kinds of things, including new cars. Should be able to write them off. Not sure why some of the big channels don't do it. Give back to the subs that support ya.

@@RobertMacCready well, I was just having my fun when I made the comment. But good for you if you can get things running on all cylinders to where you can afford to do such things.😎👍

I don't twist like I used to. 😄

Thank You!

Thanks Brian!

Yup, I think we're on the same page Michael.

Thank you, Alex.

Thanks!

Yes, we got lucky. No high winds and not a lot of rain. I tell people that are moving to FL to stay away from the west and east coasts. I live about in the center and by the time the hurricane gets to me it's a tropical storm. But when I want to go to the Gulf coast or the Atlantic, I'm about 1 hour away.

@@RobertMacCready Glad to hear your ok. Yes living in the middle of Florida is Smart. Either coast line is not far away and no chance of any kind of storm surge can affect you there. I feel so bad for the People in Fort Meyers, Naples, Marco Island. So beautiful there and they have been so lucky for so long until now. So much damage. I lived in Coral Gables for 10 years in the late 60s into the 70s as my father was in the Coast Guard. Absolutely loved it. Oh by the way love the Corvette too really nice and I bet it’s a blast to drive. We’ll be carful and be safe, Hurricane season ain’t over yet.

Thanks!!

Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Thanks!!

Hi Darrell, Yes I plan to shoot a video about the differences between the 2020 and the 2022. I find new things every day. Had a 86' and 88'. They were fun cars but nothing like what your getting. Saw a couple driving around the dealership at Stingray Chevy. They sound amazing.

The convertible is about 7k more. But if that's what you want, go for it. I like the coupe myself where you can see the engine.

Good idea. I might just do a video on it and also tell how GM (borrowed) my idea of painted calipers back in the days of the C5. Got a good story of my 92 and how my autocrossing career almost never got started or how Mike Joy (NASCAR announcer) and I used my car as the Pace Car for SCCA championship races at New Hampshire International Speedway. Anyway, I've had 55+ years of Corvette ownership starting in 1966. So, I've owned every generation but the 1st one. The early ones were not so great. I started autox'ing with my 92' and did it for 20+ years. (with a bunch or track days and time trials thrown in for fun). Also, I thought it was interesting that I bought my 20th Corvette in the year 2020. The years were: 66, 69, 73, 76, 78 Silver Anniversary, 81, 84, 86, 89, 92, 95, 97, 2000, 2002 Z06, 2006 Z06, 2008 Z06, 2012 Z06, 2015, 2017 Z06, 2020.

@@RobertMacCready Dayum! What a list of Corvettes! Great video 👏

@@jrparker4804 I've been very blessed by an amazing wife!!!!

'66 was my very 1st Corvette. Loved it and hated it.

Thank You. And those compass readings are correct. My driveway guy did a great job for us.

Thanks!!

I've owned a bunch of them, and this is easily the best one yet. And IF the Z06 ever makes it to us "regular" buyers, it should kick things up a notch or 2. Maybe, since I've owned a bunch of Corvettes, GM should move my pending order to the top of the list so I can get one and give it an HONEST review!! Could be kind of a THANK YOU to a 50+ year customer!!!!!

@@RobertMacCready Loyalty should be Rewarded !!..Thank you very much for your response..

Yup, having fun with the flags.

We just got a tropical storm. Never lost power. No downed trees. All our utilities are underground here in The Villages. I really didn't care for the factory stripes but these are just like the stripes on the factory racing C8 Corvette. And vettestripes.com are great to work with, and they use quality materials too.

Yup, she's a babe!!
