p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · F350 or C8


A friend couldn't decide whether he wanted a loaded 2022 F350 or a loaded 2022 C8 Corvette. He tells me that the Corvette was less $$ than than F350 so he went with the C8....yikes!

Anyway, after a year of waiting, it finally arrived about 6 weeks ago. This wasn't his first choice of color but he decided he could learn to live with it.

I asked if I could photograph it sometime and this past Sunday was the time.

If you happened to catch my post in the Canon board, this is what I was working on when I dropped my camera.

Dam nice car, I like how much they look more like a Lambo then a Vette, in my opinion.
Not sure I like the blue tho. I could have fun photographing that for a day, sorry you dropped your camera. Hope it's working ok or he bought you a knew one

Bill,
Thanks for stopping in. I think all the mid-engine fancy cars look relatively the same or at least have the same basic "stance". I was more than a little surprised that this was less expensive than a pickup truck.

I ran the camera through some tests today and apparently removing and reinstalling the grip did the trick....so far.....at least until it is crucial that it works and it doesn't. Murphy and his damn law don't ya know.

Thanks Ray. I'm hoping the camera is fixed. However, there is that chip that's missing from the corner of the grip that provides a constant reminder of my mistake. I'm just glad my stupid tax wasn't too bad....this time.

I’d take that color in a heartbeat. Nice car but I think from a practical standpoint, F350 or actually the new 2023 F250 super crew Tremor

Hey Larry, trucks are expensive...check these out! (I am sure you remember when a 1967 F-150 was the cheapest vehicle on the lot.)

Clean car and well done photos. I really like the Corvette blue. It looks good in person and really makes your images "pop".

What I would have given to have owned a Corvette in high school. A powerful, sexy machine, well photographed Larry.

Looked at the interior shot again and saw the "square" steering wheel. I think Dodge had those in the late '50s-'60s. Interesting.

Thanks for taking the time to pop your head in the door to have a look and offering your kind words.

You know it's bad when your stupid tax bill accrues interest.

Ray, one of the things I thought was interesting about the interior was all the buttons positioned along the length of the "console". I would be more than a little concerned about taking my eyes off the road long enough to identify which button I was looking for....at least until I had the line up memorized by feel.

I did see those buttons and thought how poorly they are ergonomically positioned for use during driving, as you said. My wife's car has all the controls accessible from the steering wheel with menu buttons and swipe touchpads with a driver display in front of the steering wheel, then, for the passenger there is a touchpad and control wheel on the center console with a larger center display. And her car cost about half of what the C8 runs.

I would guess once the owner has those buttons set they are not accessed very often when driving the C8.

I am number 18 at the second largest Corvette dealer in the country for the new Z06. Here are a few photos of what mine will look like. Chevy put a hold on taking more orders for the new Z06 for 4 months…supply problems!

A fine looking auto Herb!
I would be scared to drive it around with the country so screwed up!

Any tax breaks on this?
