Looks better in those pics. A little more red coming through.

My LA son paid cash for his 23, expcting delivery later this year.
When I asked him if it has "this or that" he tells me, "Dad, it has everything".
He doesn't recall what color he ordered, as he will have it wrapped upon arrival.
Close to $100K. Hollywood, lol.

Thread makes me a bit sad. For about 8 months during the height of the pandemic, due to pandemic boredom, I owned the 2003 Z06 below. Bought it pretty cheap, did some repairs and upgrades, enjoyed it, but ultimately it didn't make any sense in our family at this time so I sold it. But man, it was fun.

Have you ever owned a Corvette?

The only one I really want is the '63 split window coupe.
I enjoyed it, no regrets about buying or selling. I owned a Corvette. Had fun, I liked sprucing it up a bit since it was old and needed some work - got it in good shape for someone to enjoy and keep on the road longer. If you look at carfax reports for a lot of Corvettes, they have 4+ owners - people tend to not keep them. Usually "car people" who might be moving on to the next fun thing, or perhaps it's also people who lust after them but realize they don't make a lot of sense unless you are in a position to keep a stable of cars. I have a couple cars, but it's ideally a daily driver and a fun/large SUV. Currently my daily needs a backseat and 4 doors since I have 3 kids, but taking my son out in the Z06 on a twisty/hilly road at high speed and watching him uncontrollable giggle is something I won't forget. 8 months was short but I change cars every 2 years, there are a few that I've owned that many would say "why did you ever sell THAT?" but I have a car problem.maroon barchetta said:Complete Idiot said:maroon barchetta said:Complete Idiot said:

No. But if I did I would probably keep it.

Yeah my youngest finished @ A&M in December, one of the big reasons I'm diving into the sports car world now!maroon barchetta said:
Lotto winning would be the way to get a '63 Vette. Otherwise I don't see it. If it had happened in the past few years I would have bid on the silver one in Neal Peart's collection that got auctioned off last year. It was a beauty. He had a great collection.
I'll need a kid to be done with college before I look into a sports car!
In high school I drove a '63 Impala that had a 327 in it. I would take another one of those in a second.

I'm still on the wait list to finalize but currently leaning towards metallic red with base wheels. It is close for me between the metallic red and lake blue. I'll get the stingray pack as well with the black stripe down the middle of the hood.

Whatever option gets you nose lift.
Thank you. Yes. I'm very proud of him. Raised to be a rockstar, literally. He pursued that signing a 7-figure contract with RoadRunner Records... when he was 19. Toured much of the world. Did that for a few years until he decided that life on the road wasn't going to work for a young twenty-something. He now "manufactures" stars, running his own business. His hourly is 4 figures, no decimals. Yes. I'm damn proud, thank you.lotsofhp said:Prince_Ahmed said:I think we found the new MFBarnesJamesPShelley said:

Haha no, I think it's just a dad who's proud of his son. This is my second time seeing his story on here
You're an insufferable ****ing killjoy. Have a great day!Prince_Ahmed said:I think we found the new MFBarnesJamesPShelley said:
