You know when you have a cool car when,

It's produced by LEGO !! Not sure if I'll drive it much. I'd like to keep the mileage low.

Ok Mikey....I have another one from personal experience.... You know you have a cool car when.... you pull in to fuel up at the same time as a
Porsche 911 Carrera S and three little teeny bopper girls flock over to your Stingray and ask if they can take selfies with your car..... Porsche driver's dirty look spoke volumes.... lol.....

Lol. And you wonder what he's thinking !!

He was thinking how he paid twice as much for his 911 and the C7 is getting the oohhs and aahhhs.... ... ....

Gee Whiz ... not yet another factory that will have to shut down and re-tool for the mid-engine C8 ... Oh the madness of this all

You know you have a "cool car" when .... the youth now refer to it as a "sick car"

I make sure to arrive early and I pull up to the load zone at the school we have our daughter at. I make sure settings have the correct "exhaust note/tune playing" and shut her down.
Eventually the "helicopter parents" start to show up to pick up their youth in vehicles of which 99% seem to have grilles with either 4 circles, a circled 3-pointed star or a spinning blue&white propeller within a circle.
My Daughter comes out with enthusiasm that I have the top off "her C7" and she loads up her back pack behind passenger seat (top is secured under the hatch).
Then we wait ... until she says "it is good to go" knowing that there is as many kids in the area as possible.
Then we fire up and ..... "E.F. Hutton Moment" every time we leave the parking lot

... "sick car" during the wait for pick up at Daughter's School and "Show Time" ....

My grand daughter asks me a few times a year to pick her up at school with what she calls the "race car".

I have to look for the LEGO kit for her, she loves her LEGO (ever stepped on one of those pieces…ouch??. Thanks Mikey. New logo "Tourism and Toys by Mikey". You have to keep current.

I live across from a junior high and I've overheard" filthy" as a description as the kids are getting on the school buses out front. I knew it must be some sort of compliment as I had just washed the car the night before.

I came across it last night at the market mall toys R us. And who hasn't stepped on Lego !! Every kids first traumatic experience. Lol.

 

[Rruuff Day]

To quote a famous guitarist, "I've led a sheltered life don't cha know"... Nope... Have never stepped on a lego... but judging by the shape, I'm thinking it's akin to stepping on a bumble bee .... hurts like hElL....

 

[MikeysZ06]

Looks like they give you a few extra pieces. As well as your choice of wheels. C7 and C5 Z06 rims. And,with a roof decal you can have the body coloured roof,or the dark tint. I'm leaving it body colour for now. Cool little item. Took an hour and a bit,couple of breaks ( sore eyes ) lol. I'll hang on to it for a bit and give it to 5 year old Brady next door.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Hey....Finally someone on the forum like me.... I always have pieces left over when I work on anything....

 

[12cents]

isn't that what is referred to as spare parts, not left overs

My jury is still out! Is it not possible Mikey's lego-my-vette is not missing a few pieces somewhere? Thus left overs. lol... (Not doubting your lego mechanic skills for a moment Mikey...I'm just scrambling and grasping at straws now to answer 12cents...)

 

[Black 03 Z06]

I put together a BBQ recently and in BIG letters on the instruction sheet they told me you have been supplied with extra fasteners and related parts parts. They must think we are stupid. Still don't know where they go.

Nah,nothing missing here !! This was put together with pride,and the utmost attention. Aside from the drivers side rear brake duct sticker. A little off. Shaky hands,blurry eyes. Hey !! This isn't Bowling Green north!!

My wife got me this set for Christmas, along with a couple other sets. I do have another car one that I am still working on building (about 1200pcs), but I haven't finished it yet.

Eric, these sets always come with additional parts. Having a five-year-old that is just getting into Lego, I can tell you first hand that kids lose pieces before the set is even assembled.

Yes, I have stepped on Lego pieces, and my vacuum cleaner is full of them!
