Bob, I’ve been shot. It doesn’t hurt as bad as the doctor cleaning out the wound! [emoji16]

I find that Wine, Garlic and Olive Oil keep the pipes clean. When your eyes are brown, that means you’re a quart low on tomato sauce. My Eyetalian theory!

Sequential gearboxes are better!

I'm all for Wine, Garlic and Olive Oil. Our better go-to local restaurants are Italian (went to one Friday night.) But the W,G and OO are fighting an uphill battle with the Four B's. Oh well, back to the topic at hand--Bob

Default C8 Corvette
Here’s a great video with Jay Leno on the C8 Z51 convertible.

The C8 has moved up on my bucket list.

I have to agree. Great video and it made the C8 look better than I had thought. Too bad 2020 production is essentially sold out. Or perhaps a good thing--I won't get tempted and run the risk of divorce. For some reason the lighting must have effected the color. I presume it was Sebring Orange but it looked sort of salmon to my eye. Also, I have seen a number of complaints from people who have sat in the C8 and they said it felt more confined than the C7, a tighter fit for tall and larger folks. But in the video Tad said they had added one inch to seat travel and more reclining ability. Guess I'll just have to test it myself someday. --Bob

Let’s agree if Leno can fit in with 5 more inches to move the seat back, then 99% should fit.

I will wait for a 2021 used one before I buy.

So there should be plenty of room for taller men.
