Hang onto those 7 Liter stick shift V8 Corvettes, or hell, any V8 Corvette. As we enter into a new electrified era of transportation, the old V8's will be coveted.

Never cared too much what cars were called, just drove 'em (hard). Only thing I ever bothered to call out were cop cars. Could spot one in the dark a quarter mile away based on the orientation of the lights. Saved me a lot of tickets

When it came to strictly CARS, Poncho outsold Chevy......so I have read.....
