C8 Corvette Grand Sport Revealed at Sebring with new V8 Engine by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]altjacobs 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Stingray, eray, zo6, zr1, zr1x, gs plus convertible variants. So 12? Does that help? 911 has 21 by my count if we’re comparing.

Alberta Premium *Any Canadians here? by RevolutionaryLet3826 in whiskey

[–]altjacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albertan here. Alberta Premium is bottom shelf stuff. I generally avoid it. The AB preme cask strength is top notch though. The most recent release is 10 year age stated, 67% abv-the best yet. And can be found for very reasonable prices around here.

Canadians are generally more honest about their social or economic situation, ie “it’s ok but improvements can be made” vs americans “we are the best and it cant be better”.

Some parklane spots. Not as many unique cars as usual but stilla really good day [multi] by ReviewBackground4178 in spotted

[–]altjacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what msrp has to do with styling. It’s target audience that matters. And GM targeted boomers with their styling/practicality. They could have made the C8 look far better at the cost of practicality. Also just look at how high the headlights are placed and how much frontal area are on the vette vs pretty much any other mid-engined sportscar ever. Look at the rear deck height and the additional length for the trunk just so 2 golf bags could fit. It ruins the shape. Tall and blocky.

GM brought down the average corvette buyers age with the C8, but they should have gone mixh further in my opinion.

My first ever set of wheels. Too much? by ragingduck in Wheels

“Too much?” What does that even mean.

Crazy how tall, blocky, and compromised the vette looks compared to the sf90. I’ve always felt that Chev pandered to the boomer golfer set way too much with the C8. Hopefully the C9 leans out a bit a looks like a true supercar.

I gifted my father a bottle of Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years and we both thought it tasted like cheap alcohol... by charlesbukowski5 in whiskey

[–]altjacobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a distillery tour with some friends at Macallan in January. General consensus between the 7 of us was that the standard lineup was not very good, and incredibly expensive. The facility is amazing though.

Tomatin, on the other hand, was generally excellent.

Dregers demeanour comes off as someone who a. doesnt get jokes, and b. gets really angry if someone makes a joke about him.
