    Well don't shoot me but my family is completely freaked out about this cross country trip. I cannot put them through this worry.

    I'm shipping the car. I just let the dealer know.

    Its a huge disappointment to me but I think its for the best. Covid has screwed up everything but I'm lucky we all have our health.

    Safety first. I know I will enjoy reading about your experiences especially since you like the 4C.

    Yep, without your health, nothing matters. I'm sure in a year or so you could replicate the drive if you desired.

    Darn, that is where we are stopping on our way back from the Museum Delivery next month sometime. Luckily a buddy from college is putting us up, and taking us to Graceland as well.

    Someone posted this online today of C8's at Criswell.

    This is the first photo I've seen of my car. For sure its mine because you can see the silver stripes and the tan interior.

    Cool sighting of your new ride. Super color combination there. Hopefully Plycar will make a prompt delivery to you!

    Yes. Plycar. The paperwork is signed and on its way to Criswell now. Most likely they will give me a date of arrival later this week.

    My guess is it might even happen by the end of next week. I'll travel to Vegas to accept it.

    You must be a young guy. ;)
    Chevrolet wants to appeal to younger buyers with this new brighter color. This shade of yellow didn't receive a warm reception from some ah 'older' Corvette customers...

    SPIED] 2021 Corvette in Red Mist Metallic Spotted in Michigan

    It was nearly two weeks ago that we got our first look at the new Red Mist Metallic for the 2021 Corvettes thanks to our friends at the National Corvette Museum. And while the color looked pretty good on the Z51 Coupe, the sky was overcast and we didn’t really get to see how the metallic would sparkle in the bright sunshine.


    Thanks to JVP on the Corvette Forum, our second look at Red Mist Metallic shows just how bright and shiny the color can get when the car is exposed to the sun.

    JPV says the photos are “un-edited other than cropping, and blacking out some license plates (should be pretty obvious). I white-balanced some of the pics in this post and re-uploaded. Same images, just with tweaked WB.”

    These first two were under an overcast sky:

    Thanks JVP for sharing these images! Although the exposure settings may have been off on a couple of those photos, that bottom one I think captures Red Mist pretty well and we can see how some describe the color as “glowing from the inside” when that metallic is lit up. Unlike the Long Beach Red which can get very dark on overcast days, the Red Mist still manages to retain its shade of red remarkably well.

    A friend of ours speculates that this is the preproduction 2021 Corvette that is being driven by Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter. Tadge has told everyone that he’s getting a Red Mist 2021 Corvette to drive and these parking lot pics show the car has a CTF sticker and there are other C8s in the background. While we aren’t for certain that it is Tadge’s car, there can’t be that many Red Mist Metallic CTF Corvettes driving around the Detroit area at this time.

    Like what you see? Red Mist Metallic (GPH) is a premium tintcoat and it will add an additional $995 to the MSRP.

  20. Yes, however the dealer had 3 different cars & sold 2 a few days ago. It’s a legit dealer. Another person already posted the car he got from the dealer.

    I just talked to the dispatcher and he says the car will be shipped this Friday or Saturday. He doesn't know when it will arrive until it leaves. He figures 10 days max. So by the end of the month I should have it.
