Just to show off the power of the camera on the new Samsung S21 Ultra.

This is some amazing detail...108 Mega Pixels :faint:

All 3 are panthers. :yesnod: Need to get the new engine in the race car after I get the C8 and then I'll do a photo shoot with all 3 together.

I think the forum scales it down a bit when you upload it as an attachment. :D

The phone can record RAW mode in PRO mode. That's just the standard JPG. There is MUCH more detail to be had if I want it. :yesnod:

Still haven't done raw mode, but check out this zoom!!!

First picture is from my vantage point, and you can zoom in on the white van and all, but you don't see much.

Second photo is the new 100x zoom with stabilization. You can read the front license plate plain as day. :yesnod:

I like it. Very primal. :yesnod:

Please explain "Wheel tax decal".

Are you certain Tesla isn't assembling C8s in tents on contract basis for GM?
If I am correct you have been waiting more than 12 months now?

13 months.

Second quarter allocations are out, and I'm likely finally getting mine at the end of May. :yesnod:

Some counties in TN have one. Knox county doesn't. That's where you're aupposed to put it if you have to.

What are they taxing exactly? 4 wheels vs. 18 wheels? Very confusing.

I genuinely hope is everything you wish it to be when it finally arrives. I myself would have asked for a deposit refund already and chosen something else.

Nope. I want nothing else. This will be my 6th Corvette, and 3rd in my current garage. There is honestly not another car on the planet that I'd rather have...well except for the Ferrari 488 Pista.

And once I get it, I will only keep it 3 years, and I will trade up for the C8 Z06...which I'll keep. I've raced the C8 twice so far and am extremely impressed. I'm sad it's taken this long, but looking forward to finally having one. With my daughter home, we currently have 7 cars. C8 will be 8 and I'll be getting another lift to allow 5 cars in the garage.

I have played "what if" and looked at Audi R8's...which I love, and Lamborghini Huracans, both of which I can afford, but I can't get away from the value of Corvette. :seasix:

Buy the Ferrari and in 3 years it will likely be worth 125 percent of the buy in. The Vette will likely be just another used Chevy... valuable but not exotic.

I can afford the Audi and the Lamborghini, but not the Ferrari. My 2009 Z06 that I bought 5 years ago for 40k is still worth 40k all day long. And the more that the industry pushes toward electric cars, the more the value of "good old American V8's with manual transmissions will rise"

My C8 will be $85k, which is a blip in the finances. 3 years later, the C8Z will likely be $130k, which commands a little respect. Spending north of $200K for a car commands attention. While I can, I'm not sure I want to, or need to pull the trigger on a 200-300k car. I think the C8Z will be the sweet spot for my finances and will allow us to remain in financial cruise control. :yesnod:

Beats me. I don't live in any of those counties. I think it is a simple per-license plate tax, though.

If it has a steering wheel, they're gonna tax it. :yesnod:
