90-Year-Old Celebrates Birthday With A Brand-New Chevy Corvette C8 Jan 17, 2021 at 4:54am ET ++ Because age doesn't define a person's need for speed. We've shared several stories of people buying and driving sports cars at an old age. Once we reported in a 78-year-old getting a McLaren 720S, plus an 80-year-old who still drives his Ferrari F40. We've even featured a 107-year-old who casually cruises with his red two-seater Mercedes SLK 320. Point is, age doesn't define a person's need for speed – and that is the case with this U.S. Air Force vet...

90-Year-Old Is the Proud Owner of His Fourth Chevy Corvette, a Torch Red 2021 C8 14 Jan 2021, 9:57 UTC · by This is probably not the first time you hear this, but automotive enthusiasm clearly knows no boundaries. We have seen kids love certain brands or models since infancy (proud father of eight- and five-year-old Mustang aficionados right here), and it’s no surprise the affection for cars sometimes lasts... almost forever. 113 photos For one 90-year-old Florida veteran and outstanding car guy, the love recently manifested in the acquisition of a brand-new 2021 C8 Chevrolet Corvett...

Two new colors for the 2021 C8’s eh? I bet that was a years worth of “brain drain” for someone on the Corvette Team! Come on guys….seriously, that’s it? What is needed here is “something special” (but attached to every Base C8 Corvette every year new year of production) to denote a quick visible ident of that particular car’s model year. Really quite simple, Corvette’s in the past have had certain items added or subtracted to denote each year…except for a few years where nothing really was done, and that, to me wasn’t a good thing. Point in question…if a 2020 Corvette ...

autoevolution 7 Jan 2021, 21:06 UTC · by 13 photos You see, there’s a precedent we must remember in the guise of VIN 00001. Last year at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale event, Hendrick Automotive Group head honcho and NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick spent $3 million on the first-ever unit of the mid-engine Stingray, with all proceeds going to charity. This time around, Mecum has been tasked to hammer the V8-engined sports car at the Kissimmee 2021 auction in Florida. Completed by the hard-working men and women of Bowling Green on December 14th, the car still features protective plastic...

Not a bad way to turn things around, GM. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a remarkably tuneable machine, but it has been fraught with issues. Transmissions have failed after less than 50 miles, and hoods have flown open while owners have been driving the car. The new owner of the 2021 Corvette you see below is someone who experienced the reliability issues of the C8 firsthand but to an even more severe degree. With only 500 miles on the clock, Brian M. Bowling was getting on a freeway when his car started to leak oil before it caught fire. As you can imagine, he was not impressed. To make u...
