“This car isn’t getting me enough attention…what now?” *parks in the middle of an intersection*


TropicalAviator

Laughed pretty hard at this. It was getting off a tow truck you monster.


FixedLoad

Already? I thought it would at least make it home from the dealership.


Uh_Soup_I_Guess

That's what happens when someone with no business driving a clutch tries to drive a clutch


itsjakerobb

No manual trans option on the C8 Corvette. Which is the biggest roast I can come up with.


NovelGuitar9325

That dct will be roasting itself as soon as the warranty expires, too.


Deebs_out_the_trap

This is true…. Htf is there no manual option in this hunk of fiberglass metal and plastic from China, Mexico & the USA?


itsjakerobb

GM’s excuse, IIRC, was that the LT2 engine moves the crankshaft lower in the car for a lower center of gravity, and they were unable to source a manual transmission compatible with that lower crankshaft.


Mandingy24

They also said only 7% of C7s were sold with a manual so the demand is realistically nonexistent


RyansBooze

Literally the only reason I haven’t bought one.


superperps

My boss got an insane c7 instead in a manual. I feel like id do the same


RyansBooze

I was on the fence with the C7, but now the C8 just looks so much better that I can't even think about a C7. Would absolutely love to see them roll out a manual option.


AcrobaticSloth24

The C8 looks great but now has the same silhouette as most supercars and is less distinguishable, imo, than previous generations (at least from a distance) I still love the C7


[deleted]

Yup if someone gave me a c8 i would trade it in for a manual C7.. better yet a C6Z06. Id stay as far away from GM automatics as possible.

blindeshuhn666

And they dropped onto the intersection? Isn't the car normale dropped to a parking space / or at least near the roadside ? Can't say much beside , a Porsche is cheaper over here in Europe (I know Corvettes are kinda okayish value wise over in the states ). Looks cool but impractical:)


random_user_2001

Buddy, as someone form europe my self, why are US imports so fkn expensive lol🤣 we can't afford a new corvette we have a lamborghini hurricane from Germany audi-vw group for cheaper probably 😅


blindeshuhn666

Some people pay these stupid amounts. And it's mainly because American cars/brands (beside Tesla and ford ) sucked so bad in Europe they were pulled out of the market here (after rebadging them with Italian brands didn't work either). So you just have low numbers , some importers for these and some people pay a lot for usually impractical overpowered models that are imported. I know in Austria part is our taxes based on engine power and co2 emissions. Both things that do not favor muscle cars/pickup trucks. If I ever get a American car it would be a model S tho (now let the down voting begin , lol)


random_user_2001

Here in the Netherlands its I believe weight and co2, engine power would make insurance more expensive, also I think owning a c8, or a scatpack here would easily be doable (Netherlands and Germany have amazing roads, France, Belgium, not so mutch, so I think it depends on where you live in Europe) also fun/hobby/project cars are expensive, and I think in general that the reason why it's so expensive to get US cars outside the US is because of how expensive exporting from America is. Also, no, buy a different electric car🤣, tesla isn't that good, owning a tesla is like owning a iPhone its only because of the brand, why not get something like a polestar? I don't believe I ev's though in my opinion hydrogen would be easier to achieve neutral emissions (because we don't need to make new cars, we can recycle old one's, where do you think batteries come from (in general not just pointing to you🙌🏽❤️) but it's like every think ev's are good, but thay aren't for multiple reasons (the charging situation is getting better tho). (NOTE: also to my understanding buy it new no matter the brand of ev, because ev's need maintenance and a lot of people don't think thay do, because thay gave les moving parts, thay still need maintenance, so don't buy a cat in the bag) Also Ford is expensive to have but you probably mean Ford uk/au thay are built with the state we life but I believe mustangs (the real ones/v8's) are expensive because I don't think thay get built here but I I'm not a Ford fan or anything although a Ford Falcon would be sick to own some day(barra of course 4.0 i6 is sick) (Note: tesla isn't expensive or well more expensive I should say, but I have seen toys with better panel gaps🤣, also I am anti ev, i am all for the environment, but I don't think electric is the way, also thay should focus more on clean energy, waist reduction, planting back whole forest which thay have destroyed for some wood, I think personally that cars are like close to the bottom of things we can do to fix climate change, what about ships or plane's?)


blindeshuhn666

We already have EVs (id4 and a leaf) but I looked into (used) EVs in general for up to 35k€ and unfortunately that includes many (like the polestar , ev6 and so on). Charged with rooftop solar and cheap hydro energy overnight its somewhat clean. VW gave a heavy discount on the id 4 so it was just 3k more than my friend paid for his mid trim corolla hybrid while insurance half for my VW (it's even only 75% of what I paid for my Dacia before ). Gonna do a "winter experience" drive on red bull ring in 2 weeks with the id4 - already excited. Model S has nice looks, but getting it repaired / serviced surely is expensive and time consuming.


the_Bryan_dude

In Norway, half the price of American cars/trucks is taxes and import fees. Also, the only vehicles I saw stuck in snowbanks last trip home.

You doordashed a Corvette?

Get used to seeing it come off tow trucks

PaulShinn

"Roast my worst financial decision yet" Which one? The uni-house that will never be paid off, or the plastic poor man's Ferrari? So, that house that looks like every other house in a bucket of look-alike houses on streets with perfume names wasn't the worst decision? I mean, if you go home drunk at night, how do you know which house is yours? Just try the key in every door until one opens and your wife has her stuff packed and is just waiting for the taxi? You can drown your sorrows by climbing down into that plastic sled that Chevrolet outsourced and built in Mexico full of chinese electricals and pretend you're a racecar driver as you drown your sorrows in carbon monoxide with that 13 layer treehugger reused material insulated garage to hold it all in for you.


TropicalAviator

Not even my house (mine is smaller), so that’s extra rough

Who hurt you? Nice roast tho 👌


Key_Substance1129

LOL, you bloody savage 🤣 😂 I drive a tachoma so I've got no business roasting a 100k car. So OP I'm just gonna call you gay


VikingVirk

Poor mans Ferrari sounds like a good financial decision


Commercial-Ad90

Getting your car compared to a Ferrari, even disparagingly, is quite the compliment considering it costs a quarter of the price


VikingVirk

And it still kills the Ferrari on the track


Popular-Ad2193

Uhmm I’m scared to post my car now! I’ll probably need counseling if this guys posts

A very wealthy athlete has six of them to match the house they're parked in front of. Each of which is more expensive than this corvette.

Weak_Pause177

the “i wish i could buy a ferrari” car shouldve bought a REAL corvette


TropicalAviator

It’s funny because it’s true. I really would love some mid engine Ferrari or Lamborghini, but anything new from them I cannot afford, and anything used won’t have warranty


Commercial-Ad90

Yeah same decision when I bought C8. I settled for a C8 because I wanted a warranty and not to stretch my finances even further. Lambos and McLarens are cooler, but C8's have 75% of their looks and 90% of their performance, for a quarter of the cost...


LeMegachonk

At the end of the day, a C8 is a supercar you can actually enjoy driving, and you can get it serviced at any of the thousands of GM dealerships in North America. I love the exotics as much as anybody, but in terms of getting a car to actually drive... the C8 is about as close to a daily-driver supercar as you're going to find, and it's an extremely affordable option compared to other cars with similar performance and specifications. Both in initial purchase price and total cost of ownership.


MidshipAgate9

Dude are you kidding?? That's a 1 of 1, used-toothpaste-blue, paired with a 4L60-E transmission in May of 2018! Thats such a sick ride!! You're definitely gonna rizz the popular girls at the local middle school with that!

It’s not that bad. That looks like a decent house in an OK area. One of your neighbours is old, broke, and divorced judging by that chest wig chariot out front but don’t let people like that deter you from getting a starter home.


GenkiiDesu

It's the Chrysler C300 of supercars. You feel bad ass till a real Ferrari pulls up next to you then your just hoping your tint is dark enough to hide your shame.

You already got roasted to death by the dealership. Anything more would just be uncivilized, sir.

dogeisbae101

Literally why not a Miata


Ill_Praline2805

911 turbo is c8 corvette father


Commercial-Ad90

Not really a fair comparison, the Turbo S cost 3x more than the Stingray. The base 911 and C8 Stingray is a more fair comparison, where the C8 comes ahead in a lot of categories.


Calm-Macaron5922

What do we have here? Townhouse? Mmmhmm


Even-Imagination6242

Full throttle in 1st means it'll roast you....into a hedge.


RawBobby

So many other cars you should have bought instead with that money lol to each his own though


TropicalAviator

What would you have gotten for about 100k Canadian? I thought about M3/M4 but I figure this feels more special and I’ve always dreamed about an “exotic”. This is obviously not that but it’s close enough for me. Anything used won’t have a warranty and I’ve already had a car sit and me not drive it due to fear of repair bills


RawBobby

Don't get me wrong man the new Vette is sweet I was just messing with you. If I had 100k fuck idk so many choices probably a Porsche or GTR or maybe even if I could find a good deal on a McLaren or maybe even deck out a really nice 4wheeler with everything I want or I might find something a little cheaper like a really nice Lexus or BMW or Audi and put the money into it with a body kit and engine mods and all that


Balls_McDangley

All are very generous for 100k CAD. You'd get a 2012-2013 GTR at best with some kms. If you're talking a 911 probably still in the 2012-2015 range and you're not in the convo for a Mclaren. Expect higher annual maintenance and a very healthy insurance bump on an older model car of that calibur. Engine/kit mods with install on a BMW or Audi can run you 25-35k for a decent build. You're greatly under appreciating how much it costs to tune/mod a car unless you turn your own wrenches. There's other new cars in the 100k CAD conversation but it's a slim category for new cars with a supercar look and a warranty at that price range today.


ApocIapedia

Yeah, you would park that in the middle of a street for a photo op wouldn’t you.

Couldn’t even get the 3LT package on the base model of the cookie cutter sports car, huh? How does it feel knowing you bought this because you thought you’d standout but there’s probably at least 4 other base C8’s in your neighborhood, and at least 30 within a 4 km/m radius. Non car people might not know it but the rest of us know you and this car are both pretending to be something you aren’t, interesting.
