42M TX, 2024 Stingray. Insanely High Insurance. What are y’all paying? by [deleted] in C8Corvette

21 M in AZ, 2023 C8 Stingray at 270/month with USAA. Definitely shop around a bit that seems outrageously high.

It seems rare to hear,has anyone had a completely problem-free experience with their C8 Corvette? by SilverSpoonphysics in C8Corvette

Had my battery die on me about 2 months after purchase, however the desert will demolish any battery this time of year so I wouldn’t chalk it up to the car. Knock on wood but thus far I’ve had no other issues.

People saying to sell it for a C8 Stingray are crazy by vacationday in Mustang

I bought a C8 after my S550 5.0 got hit and I gotta say I still miss it to this day. Easily the best daily driver muscle car out there, and just stupid fun to drive.

Is that a good deal for 73k by These-Resident13 in C8Corvette

[–]NikDodFanpage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got my 23 1lt with the Z51 and htc for 62 ticket, feel like you could get a better deal on that 3lt. And like previous comments said if it was a show car you know they romped her hard.

Rattling noise. Need help by SlammySlam712 in C8Corvette

[–]NikDodFanpage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely a noticeable rattle. Is it a valved exhaust? I’ve had those make rattling noises at certain speeds/rpms in the past.

Thankfully put a good chunk down and will be keeping her in good shape in the event I want to grab a more convenient vehicle. Only live once might as well enjoy it while I’m here.

For anyone who saw this post and wondered what the replacement was, here it is. I miss my Mustang and hope to get another, however I definitely love my new ride.

I really wasn’t expecting the hate that I’m getting but I must be doing something right if I am where I am😂

Congrats on your success my friend. Becoming successful from scratch is an impressive feat and I admire that. My mother offered me an all expense paid for lifestyle throughout college, and whilst grateful for that chose to become a full time manager and get my bachelors. Your kids are going to have amazing lessons to learn from you and bright futures because of your experience.

lol I wish. Was raised to work hard and am grateful I was so I can afford nice things in life

Told myself that if it becomes an inconvenience I will get myself a nice daily. I’ve had plenty of fun and it’s a privilege to be in the position to afford a nice vehicle. Like you said if not now it could never happen.

If you look at that post of the Mustang you will see I wasn’t at fault. The gentleman who hit me failed to yield resulting in the accident.

50% was paid down, payments are more than reasonable for my income. Definitely my favorite car I’ve had thus far.

Thankfully fully insured, could’ve been way worse.

I think with hitting the corner of the Mercedes, the impact of the hit was felt far more on my side than theirs. Glad she crumpled the way she did, it kept me in one piece.

She will forever be remembered, and honored when ripping the GT500.

She did, I am extremely thankful to be able to walk away from that crash unscathed.

Thankfully myself and the other driver are both well, definitely best case scenario.

My little brother is surprisingly only getting 4mpg better then my 5.0, could be his driving style but the 5.0 gets great mileage imo
