Should Selling Corvettes be Limited to Specialized Salespeople?

We found a thread on the forums sharing the story of CF member Houston Z33′s experience going to check out the new Stingray in his friend’s Nissan GTR.

Tech Thursday: C5 Infotainment

Infotainment Why Mod? The C5 came with a radio and CD player.

Chris Harris Drives LFA on Nordschliefe

We were a bit bored and cruising YouTube when we found this. It got our blood pumping even though it’s a bit old and we’ve seen it. You’re probably familiar too, but it’s still awesome! Chris Harris is always entertaining as is the Lexus LFA. Watch him work the Lex through the Green Hell. And [...]
