Considering the wheels are the only contact point between you and the road, you could probably stand to care a tad more about at least the tires. But you do you. 

It takes all kinds, man.

Well, makes sense. The C8 is sorta... not so great looking..., especially from the rear. The performance envelope is beyond the scope of any legal road, and well beyond that of 99% of purchasers. And, the C7 is just a friendlier vehicle all around and a lot more fun to drive. And looks really great.  Going mid-engine…

If it doesn’t come to a complete stop with other cars at other stop signs, I’d honk at the guy.

The vehicle should follow the laws. if the laws do not make sense then they should be updated, whether its legislation specific to autonomous vehicles or not, but a system fails when the requirements are frequently ignored. 

The other 70% should be ticketed.

The whole selling point of autonomous cars is that one day, hypothetically, they’ll be safer than humans because they won’t get tired or lazy or lax with the rules.  “No u-turn” signs might seem arbitrary sometimes, but there’s usually a reason they’re there.  Teslas ignoring those signs and then having to back into…

It should. Automated vehicles should be following the rules of the road, not the bad habits drivers form throughout their lives as shit drivers.

I would tack on that the C8 is such a departure from the “traditional” Corvette, a lot of the traditional customer base that isn’t interested in them. There’s gotta just be less demand for them secondhand in general. 

Also hurting the C8 is the fact that due to being mid-engined a lot of actual supercar buyers bought into the initial hype. They tend to only keep their cars for a year or two versus traditional Corvette buyers who will put them away for a decade plus. And a lot of those supercar buyers I’m sure realized that the C8…

First Gear: For the love of god, Tesla (and Waymo and the rest), stop forcing the public to participate in your half-baked experiments against their will.

The C8 is a decent performer and the higher performance models even more so and I respect that they punch well above their price. I’ve just never been able to get over the fact that they look like a Hot Wheels that was designed by a 12 year old.

I’m starting to think removing all Chargers, Challengers, and Infinity G3X cars from Southern California would wipe out like 90% of the takeover issues.

This feels like some real “1 of 1 Corvette” logic here.

Sign me up, on your paper form!

I absolutely HATE adaptive cruise control. If there was a way to shut it off and just use “regular” I’d do it, but as far as I can tell (2024 K5) it’s either that steaming pile or nothing. 

The Porsche... it’s a joke, right?!

I just stuck with the M60s as I was able to find a current auction listing at RIA.

And both can be rented for TONS less.  By the hour.

Normally I’d say I can’t do it, I’d spend too much time worrying about where my brass was flung to/counting the $$ of every shot.
