I must be having a midlife crisis, because...

Yeah, it's also nice to know I will almost have the full length of the original warranty and that I can ultimately be in control of the maintenance from the beginning as well.

Huge plus. Looking forward to pics of the blue. I bet that thing is just sweet :up:
 
Thankfully due to CarMax's mistake with the title they refunded my transfer/shipping fee. That's a big deal because it was $1899. Hooray.

Everything is otherwise lined up for my Wednesday delivery for this other car.

So of course it was raining while the car was delivered so it got gross/dirty...

I like that MUCH better than the white one. Holy heck is that sweet!

Official Congratulations are in order. How does it feel on the road, say, compared to the Supra?
 
Oh yes better than white! My care is white. But, I love this color! Super nice! Officially jealous!

Hard to say. This has a much tighter cabin than the Supra, but the car itself is relatively larger (wider and longer but not as tall) which is going to take a bit for me to get used to. It also has practically 100hp and 100 ft-lbs more than the Supra, but the Supra has most of its torque down low whereas the C8 has it closer up top. It's a completely different feeling, with the Supra being closer to the Tesla in that regard.

I will have to drive more before I make any real judgment calls.

This, all the way. Congratulations.
 
Looking sweet. <thumb up> Time to get used to looking at bumpers. Also, waiting to hear how good that mag ride feature is.

No mag ride on this one. That was noted in my post when I talked about the other car deal falling through due to title issues.
 
Yeah the blue looks a shitton better than the white one.
some cars just pop with different colours and is bleh with the neutral ones.
Might be the mid-engine shape making a white C8 look fairly bleh cuz i think a white C7 looks quite good.

Back when i had to pick between a white or a black Honda fit, i chose the black one cuz the white one looked like a rental car lol.

congrats!
