I had the SF Giants vs NY Mets, Mad Bum vs Thor, on the big screen with the sound off and streamed the presentation on my 27" HD monitor that is bigger than the TV at the distance I watched... C8 is an impressive car!! Beautiful car that looks like it could be a Ferrari it is so well designed. 495hp and just under 3 seconds 0-60... I thought he would say "under $100K" and it was "Under $60K!" I love it! The interior touches with stitched leather are the upgrades I like about my BMW X3 over my spartan interior C4. It is very tempting... especially the GPS assisted lifting that is needed to get in and out of my driveway and the new speed bumps on the short drive to my girlfriend's home. Funny story, when I was 40 I dated a very attractive, 17 years younger woman (with a brain working on her PhD at Stanford) and every time I did the sideways move to not crunch the front spoiler on my 3-year old '94 C4, she'd have the same, whinny comment about not fixing the grade of my driveway or filling in the dip for the storm drains.... I knew staying single was my ticket to happiness! They now have plastic things to put in the dips to allow water to pass while making it easier for cars to get in and out of driveways. That eliminates a "valuable test" of passengers but I can see how it could keep marriages much happier.
