    I think I know that digital gauge design. Is that a Corvette C7?

    Nice!

    The C7 was the last good Corvette IMO

    I like it a lot. Until the Grand Sport X I wasn't really a fan of the C8. But I might consider getting one at half the price they are now.

    I drove a few C8s. At the limit they're superior to the C7 but as a daily driver they're like a nice sedan. Not having a manual really demolished how special they felt to me. So I bought the C7.

    I think the C8 just looks wrong; partly because it's mid-engined. I never had the opportunity to drive either of them though.

    Corvettes always felt to me like simple and affordable sports cars for the masses; the C7 felt more like an evolution in that sense. The C8 is too fancy and sophisticated if that makes sense.

    Lots of people agree with you. Particularly in the corvette forums.

    Personally from form alone I think a C6 Z06 with updated head and tail lights is peak corvette. Every time I see one I swoon.

    I love the C5 myself; might just be nostalgia from playing Ford vs. Chevy back in the day. It still looks really slick, though.

    A clean C5 is amazing looking and arguably the best fun to dollar you can get.

    It's a pity they don't really exist here in Australia

    That's a crime against humanity.

    That's far from the worst GM has done to Australia...

    What's the worst in your opinion? I'm completely uneducated here.

    Axing Holden and more or less killing off domestic manufacturing (Ford did the same to be fair).

    They inadvertently killed off the Australian ute as well, as Holden and Ford were the only ones still making those. Now all that remains are giant American pick-ups.

    I too sometimes take pictures at mildly satisfying milestones

    My Tucson made it to ~250k mi... And then the transmission gave up.

    It did well.

    My Hardbody made it to 273k. And then the speedometer broke. Truck is still chugging along fine 10 years later.

    Wow, that's great for a Hyundai. Last I heard they had a reputation of engines dying prematurely.

    A Diesel, right?

    Some did, there was a specific factory iirc that kept causing issues with the first cylinder for whatever reason, something like that. I didn't have one of those.

    Or diesel, it was a 2.4L I4, and it still purrs. Transmission was starting to slip though, and then the linkage broke, which is actually not too bad of a repair just the shift cable bushing most likely. Not worth it with the existing issues though, but it may get bought by one of the guys at the shop I like to use for him to repair on his own time. So it'll see the streets again, just not from me :)
