DFB, I think your definition and my definition of driving to get it dirty enough to wash differ slightly . Haven’t washed it in two months, unfortunately.

Klasse, is your eye twitching due to how dirty my truck is?

It's been a while since I've logged in as I've consolidated a lot of my online time to FB and various groups there. However, I'll be around now and then. Just a quick update to the stable here, though. With both kids now off to college, the wife no longer wanted a mid-sized SUV but rather wanted a bit more oomph and a more nimble yet higher-riding CUV. Thus, we sold the CX-5 and picked up a CX-30 Turbo in the Premium Plus trim, aka fully loaded with goodies including 360 cameras, driving assist, and a heads-up display. Very similar equipment to my car and in the same color. Only interior-wise, she didn't want light colors, so we did the two-tone graphite with mocha stitching and accents. Very Audi-like inside, for sure. It rides surprisingly well. It's not small in ride but very controlled and super quiet, and even bone stock has plenty of power.

Not fully done with a handful of mods yet, but a couple of quick pics after the initial clean-up and coating. PPF and Tint up next, along with some other cosmetic updates, should complete things. Later this year, I'll find some 19" Carbon Trim pull-offs from a CX-5 as they look awesome and transform the car. She will still have her higher ride height, but the wheel gap will be gone.

First time seeing one in the metal, bigger than I expected.

Well, like I said, it's a little bigger than I expected, definitely stands out. Maybe it's a little over styled, but that could be the colour, it might look better in a darker colour. Over here they go for between $195k and $360k, top price was for a Z06. If I had that much money to spend it wouldn't be on one of these, I just looked to see what I could get for similar money, Audi RS6, R8, or e-tron GT, BMW M8, or M5, Porsche 911 Carrera S, or Taycan GTS, and Nissan GT-Rs. All of these I'd prefer to have in my garage, if it was my money. But if someone wants to give me one I won't say no. It did sound great as he drove away. He actually stopped for a cigarette break, with the cost of the thing he can't bring himself to smoke in it.

In Australia, I suspect the Corvette is bought by those who have had all of the above alternatives and see this as something different to try.

I know and appreciate the love for the Chevy small block, but that car is wasted with that engine. I also despise the terrible fake engine note they pump into the cabin, that would be a deal breaker for me. That and the hideous rear styling. I have to laugh because GM touted they were aiming the C8 at a younger audience, in theory bringing a new generation of car enthusiasts to the Corvette. But then the marketing department went and decided the car still had to fit friggen golf clubs in the trunk, in effect, returning to square one. That right there ruined the rear end styling and undid all the modernization that they stylists and chassis engineers were trying to achieve.

Anyway, for $300,000, I would rather Jaguar or 911.
