[QUOTE="DW Ruby, post: 297862, member: 8592"] No corvettes in my personal history, sorry. My 'early days' of driving were filled with the 'muscle cars' of the late 60's/70's. GTO's, Camaro's, 442's - but never enough money for a decent corvette. Everything in the past few years has been built by Mercedes (AMG C63, AMG E53, AMG GLE 63, GLE 450). Driving? Sure, I guess. We've crossed Canada 3 times, and travelled up to the Yukon, always in the Winter. We own a 25 ft Mercedes/Airstream Class 'B' RV that presents itself as a kite on a windy day - this definitely requires 'driving'. Racing? Nope. Closest I've gotten to that is on the track in Vegas in a Lamborghini, but that hardly counts. If riding gets points, I also have a Harley Breakout (114 in3). In the short term, I will probably place a few more deposits with some of the recommended dealers, thank you. My 'medium term solution' is that I may pick up a slightly used C8, however, I'm not in a rush. I'm also a bit tight for space right now. Long term - If I thought that a $20,000.00 (or more) 'gratuity' would guarantee my timelines with the dealer, I could certainly cover it, [B]but I would not[/B]. What I would do is send the dealership, and GM, a 'friendly' note, together with pictures of my Mercedes AMG SL 63 'replacement'. A lot of hard working people wait far too long for a system like this to be compromised, just because someone has a few extra bucks to throw around. Guys, at the end of the day, I'm only trying to buy a really nice car. [/QUOTE]
