[Date made: 1-10-2022] Can you predict what C8 Corvette someone might purchase if given the C8 Configurator & their Horoscope traits? Probably NOT. No reasons to NOT try anyway! Stupid fun is what this is all about.

[Date made: 11-27-2021] Articles have been thrown out into the public opinion space for about 1+ years now. I decided to looks at the few clues that a C9 might be in the works... At least on paper. 5 Clues that the C9 may exist are a bit shaky at best. All conjecture.

[Date made: 11-2-2021] I go through almost all of the PREDICTED C8 Z06 features and specifications and compare those prediction to what we learned at the REVEAL and just afterwards. A long video. It takes a long time to cover all of the topics. I cover the main topics of Z06 pricing, production and availability, styling, engine & performance, and the transmission. The coverage begins at about 5:40. I should have made this a 3 part series. May still. But below are the main portions if you want to skip around. Chapters: 0:00 Lead In 0:30 Intro 2:04 Background Info on Gathering my data 5:40 PAST Predictions vs Actual REAL Info (Pricing, Production, Styling) 14:47 Engine / Performance 22:30 Transmission 23:57 "Grading" how New Media Performed

How to set up a QuickJack for a C8 Corvette. Without using any other information to guide us, and just using simple observations, we found that the QuickJack's jack points were fairly close to where they needed to be, but they are shorter in terms of comparison to the C8 Manual's advised jack points. This did not seem to be an issue. The frame was used perfectly well. The blocks were placed about 46 inches apart, which is off by almost 30 inches! Yet this worked. I feel like this is absolutely the shortest distance for block to be placed! Any shorter, below 46 inched, would make me worry about flexing of the frame.

Very fast video outlining the basic steps taken to perform an oil change on a Jaguar F-type. Very easy work. Detailed, Honest, and Informative. That's the Yellow Jacket Garage way... Always enjoy having YJG work on my cars! You would too! Yellow Jacket Garage will have a detailed video published in the near future. Much thanks again to ~~~ Yellow Jacket Garage ~~~ Give the channel a visit and subscribe, please.

I do NOT know for sure if there were 9 or 10 C8 Corvettes on the car hauler, but it was enough to make you feel very bad for the ex-new owners. I learn about the incident as I go through the video and the articles...

Sorry for such a LONG video!!! Consider if the C8 Corvette Stingray can be an Entry-Level Supercar. There a few points that hold it back, although I disagree with them... somewhat. I am biased, so I would like to think the C8 is "close" to a supercar. I provide my check list of requirements and some rationalization of them. Compare the C8 to those new requirements. Then arrive at a conclusion. Also ending with a quote from Harlan Charles... Enjoy!

Two fantastic race cars. I take a bit of a step back in time to review the information about the Corvette C8 R and the Porsche 911 RSR. After watching some of the recent GTLM races I thought I wold learn more about the cars I was watching. NOTE: I have had ppl comment things in past videos that were a bit over the top. Let me repeat, "I do not watch racing..." So all of this is new to me. Not everyone is an expert. This is all about learning something new. Thank you very much! Have fun!

[ One of you wonderful folks found an error in this video. Fixed... Thank you for the help! Previously published on July 30, 2021. ] It is not likely, but could Ford be working on a RIVAL sports car to the C8 Corvette? 2 coincidences have occurred recently at Ford: 1) re-trademarking of "Thunderbird" name, and 2) testing the C8 Corvette near their facilities. I loosely explore the "rumors" and a couple of possibilities. ALL IN FUN.

[Date made: 8-4-2021] This video pertains to knowing if you want or need to add trans oil to the DCT. Short answers: Normal Users – do whatever you want. Track Users – add 2 quarts Aggressive daily/weekend Users - very likely add 2 quarts.

[Date made: 7-27-2021] Yet again, more observations. Hope this info helps! Turn signal. Headlight paint issue. Window moisture. Ramp approach cribbing. Oil catch can [again].

[Date made: 6-29-2021] More information I learned about regarding the C8 Corvette. This is NOT the last C8 observation video! There are at least 8. In this video... Frunk button. Driving thoughts - steep hills/mtns. Transmission/DCT. V8 to V4 cylinder deactivation - fuel mgmt.

[Date made: 6-9-2021] More of my observations to share. Tow hooks. Oil catch can. Glove box. Trunk temperatures. Shock covers. Car covers. Track prep. Safety items to keep.

[Date made: 5-28-2021] More learning about the C8 Corvette. Front dash display. A/C vents. Navigation [some]. Front license plate. Infotainment [some]. Break in period [again]. Holes in wheels.

[Date made: 6-10-2021] 1st of many videos learning about the C8 Corvette. Moving into a rear engine car... Size/width - especially for a small garage. Driving visibility. The button "wall". Ground clearance. Oil change. Break in period. Over Air Updates. Rodents. Trunks.

[Dater made: 5-20-2021] 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning “Pre-reveal“occurred on May 18th. The actual reveal will broadcast live from the Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, May 19, at 9:30 PM, EDT. Muscle Cars & Truck published an article, May 18th, about a Biden visit to Ford at which the new Ford F-150 Lightning was revealed. In case you don’t get it, this is an electric truck. The starting price is said to be about $70,000. Only an exterior picture was acquired from a distance, but you can get a vague idea of its appearance. The performance specs are, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. I do go over all kinds of information too! In late 2022 I do another video after having gone for a ride in one...

[Date made: 5-4-2021] I spent too much! And I could not wait. But at least I bought my 2020 C8 at a moment when prices went down a "little". I discuss the pricing trends of the time, what my C8 "should" have been priced at versus what I paid, and more...

[Date made: 6-10-2021] I present my first days of owning a 2020 C8 Corvette Stingray. There is some review of other cars I looked at prior to buying the C8; like a Ferrari and Lamborghini.

[Date made: 4-1-2021] Wow! I mean, really, WOW! This car does [or did] exist. When I saw this wild all-terrain supercar I had to dig deeper and make this video. This is fun stuff for sure. Of course, GM is working on a Corvette SUV. [Snooze...] So I go over the "Project R" rumors of the Corvette SUV development at the time I made this video. Laffite Supercars’ X-Road, an all-terrain street legal supercar. Launched back in 2020, the X-Road was priced from $465,000 when equipped with a 700+ hp LS3 V8 engine, 2900 lbs, top speed of 143 mph, while a fully electric version would set you back $545,000.

[Date made: 4-2-2021] Just as the C8 Corvette Stingray became available, the Ares Supercar was created. Based off the Corvette's C8 platform this supercar is spectacular. Called the "Project S1" supercar, The price at the time of the video was $500,000. Drivetrain & Performance: a C8 Corvette 6.2 Liter V8, 705 hp, 715 lb-ft of torque, 8 speed DCT, 0-62 in 2.7 seconds. From the chassis the C8 magnetic ride control system will also be available. By careful comparison, the Project S1 looks VERY much like the Porsche 917 concept car. Try watching the All Car News channel on YouTube and you will see much more.

[Date made: 2-30-2021] With new drone, RADAR, LADAR, etc technology, Airspeeder has been producing, flying, drag racing, and circuit racing a new breed of race "car". This is my 1st main video related to this topic. I provide it for historic context. Look for Airspeeder on the Internet and you will see a lot of progress has been made. But with people in the pilot set just yet. Look for flying car, eVTOL, Airspeeder, Formula-E, electric flying race car, Alauda. Covid slowed down progress, but Airspeeder is getting closer to putting people into these flying race cars...

[Date made: 3-18-2021] Why not destroy a vehicle while having fun... Shoot it off a cliff. Drive a bus in a demolition figure-8 race track. A fire-breathing monster truck. And more! Stupid, but super fun events for everyone.

[Date made: 1-10-2021] What are many of the most popular sports cars that suit short people? My wife and I visit many dealerships and try on many sports cars to see how they fit for us. Porsche was GREAT! The Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ was very good. The Jaguar F-Type was surprisingly easy to see out of! I do some measurements, utilize news articles, and just hop in and get a feel for as many cars as possible for a short video.

[Date made: 11-11-2020] There are plenty of serious dangers to be aware of while driving rural back roads. I provide a look at many of the things I have learned, like tractor accidents, truckers, wild animals, street conditions, etc... I also review how to prevent back road accidents in your vehicle. Did you know... Roughly 57% of teenage driving fatalities occur on rural, two-lane roads. Texas had the highest number of rural non-interstate traffic deaths, with California in second place.
