The Car of My Dreams: A Corvette Enthusiast's Joy

I'm writing this as I sit behind the wheel of my brand-new 2019 Corvette ZR1, and I have to say, it feels like the first time I've ever owned one of these cars. The dual roof package is a great feature that adds an extra layer of luxury and exclusivity to this already impressive vehicle. I'm thrilled to have this car in my collection, and I know it's going to be a great addition to my garage.

As I look around the dealership, I can see why they call this place a "Corvette paradise." The attention to detail is incredible, from the sleek lines of the body to the precision engineering that goes into every component. And let me tell you, this car is a beast. With its 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque, it's ready to take on any road or track that comes its way.

I have to say, I'm particularly excited about the carbon fiber center cap on this particular model. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to an already stunning design. And with its black exterior and blue accents, this car is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. I've always been a fan of bold, eye-catching colors, and this shade of blue is perfect.

One of the best things about owning a Corvette is the sense of community that comes with it. As an enthusiast, I'm part of a larger group of people who share my passion for these incredible vehicles. And when it comes to the C8 Corvette, I know that there's going to be plenty of excitement around this new model. In fact, I was lucky enough to get in on one of the limited-time deals at the dealership, which means I'll be getting a brand-new ZR1 with all the perks and amenities that come with it.

Of course, no car is perfect, and there are always a few minor issues to deal with. For example, I wish I had brought some painters tape to protect the front of the car from any potential stone chips or scratches. But overall, I'm confident in my ability to take care of this beauty and make sure it stays looking its best.

As I prepare to drive my new Corvette off the lot, I have to say that I'm feeling a mix of emotions. On one hand, I'm excited to finally be behind the wheel again and experience the thrill of driving such an incredible machine. On the other hand, I'm a little nervous about navigating the roads with this massive hood sticking out from under the car. But after all these years without a fast car, I know it's going to feel amazing to have one back in my life.

I took a quick photo of myself sitting behind the wheel before I left the dealership, and I have to say, it feels like I've been transported back in time. The power and performance of this car are simply intoxicating, and I can already imagine the thrill of pushing it to its limits on the track or taking it out for a spin on a twisty road.

As I prepare to embark on my journey home with this incredible machine, I have to say that I'm feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. The 2019 Corvette ZR1 is more than just a car – it's an experience, a thrill ride, and a statement piece all rolled into one. And as I drive away from the dealership, I know that I'll be grinning from ear to ear for hours on end, basking in the joy and exhilaration of owning such an incredible machine.

The Power is Out: A Quick Detour

As I sat behind the wheel of my new Corvette, waiting for permission to leave the dealership, I was surprised to discover that the power was out. The entire building was plunged into darkness, and it took a few moments for someone to come and let me know what was going on. It turned out that there had been an issue with the electrical system, but fortunately, no one was hurt.

Despite the chaos of the moment, I have to say that I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't get in a quick spin before leaving the dealership. But as it turns out, the experience ended up being kind of fun – and it gave me a chance to take some photos and appreciate the details of my new car in a whole new way.

One thing that struck me as I sat there in the dark was just how massive this hood is on the Corvette. It's like something straight out of science fiction, with its sharp lines and aggressive contours. And yet, despite its intimidating presence, it looks almost elegant when you consider it from the right angle. I've always been a fan of bold, eye-catching designs, and this one doesn't disappoint.

Of course, as much as I love the look of this car, there's no getting around the fact that it's huge. And with its 6.2-liter V8 engine pumping out 755 horsepower, it's clear that this Corvette is built for speed – not necessarily for subtlety or understatement. But as an enthusiast, I don't care about any of that. All I know is that this car is going to be a blast to drive, and I can hardly wait to put my foot down and see what it can do.

A Sense of Community: The C8 Corvette Enthusiast

As an owner of the 2019 Corvette ZR1, I'm part of a larger community of enthusiasts who share my passion for these incredible vehicles. And when it comes to the C8 Corvette, there's going to be plenty of excitement around this new model – not just from fans like me, but from the entire automotive world.

One thing that I love about owning a Corvette is the sense of camaraderie that comes with it. Whether you're talking to fellow enthusiasts online or meeting up at local car shows and events, there's always something special about connecting with someone who understands your passion for these incredible machines.

Of course, as a new owner, I'm still learning all about my car – from the intricacies of its engine to the nuances of its handling. But I'm excited to dive in and learn more, knowing that there are plenty of resources available online and at local events where I can connect with other enthusiasts and get advice from people who know their stuff.

As I drive away from the dealership and into the unknown, I know that I'll be joined by a whole community of like-minded individuals – all united by our shared love of the Corvette. And as we go about sharing our passion for these incredible vehicles, I have no doubt that we'll create something truly special – something that will inspire others to join us on this journey and explore the world of automotive excellence.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engood morning guys and welcome to the channel hope you guys are having a great day the Bulldog is up the big bull my one-eyed bear he's up it is the morning if you can call it that it's like 2:45 right now which is technically morning but good lord anyway we're about to go get my new supercar very exciting and kind of a unique scenario we are actually trading a 2020 silverado which is over there for this new mystery car which I'm sure you can kind of guess what it is but the dealership in the Chevy dealership near me where my buddy Matt Beaver works is trading this car for mine this vehicle for my new one and we're driving about seven hours to get it now this is my backup car if you guys didn't see the big disaster debacle of me trying to get my last car definitely check it out a pulling down below people are going wild over it it was a pretty I mean an interesting story to say the least but I'm very excited to get this new one and I guess let's hit the road pony you wiggle that big butt at me don't do that not really sure if there's a point in filming because I don't think you can see anything but I got my water I see four energy drink I got my stuff here I don't have any snacks yet but we're gonna get some along the way I believe I guess we'll uh we'll get ready for the seven and a half hour drive good news is it's not actually as long as I thought I thought it would be I think I said about eight hours but it looks like it's only gonna be a little over seven hopefully if everything goes right so fingers crossed but that's actually not that bad this is a dealer car I don't actually have the registration well I was making great time basically on a road trip you can make great time two ways number one you go really slow and then you don't have to stop the fuel or you go all out and hope you can make up time on the fuel stop for this trip I was gonna have to stop cool either way so I chose to go all out so far we're making great time you extra hashbrowns you too thank you very much truck is refueled I'm refueled while I'm about to be and we're getting back on the road two and a half hours left right still making really good time and normally I'm sure you're wondering you know why didn't you get the car shipped to you and normally I would you know getting a new car I would get it shipped to my house or to the dealership whatever but this car I really want to use this weekend for the poke and overall racing event and for the type of car I'm getting which if you haven't figured it out by now I'm not gonna spoil it but I'm I'm sure it's pretty obvious but the car I'm getting it has a 500-mile break-in period before you can race it or at least that's what the manufacturers suggest so it actually works out perfectly because I'll drive at about 400 and that's right about 490 miles home so when I get home it'll be dropped off right away for the oil change that you get once the break-in period is over and then it will be ready to write so it works out for me and normally I don't travel this far I don't drive this far but because I needed to get these miles out of the way for the vehicle it really is perfect one more thing as we get really close here 23 miles to Jacksonville where the dealership is located just because like I'm kind of finding things out in real time because I just uploaded the video last night and that's why I was such an early upload at 8 p.m. normally I upload it like 10 11 sometimes midnight but it was early last night because I went to bed to get up for this trip but because I'm finding things out as it's happening in real time one big thing I wanted to mention was the reason why that car was so perfect and why it was so hard to find one I know there are a few CR ones out there even a few manual ones but I wanted black on black blue calipers comp seats suede inserts all that stuff so it was a little bit hard to find and there was really only one and that was the one but I do appreciate everybody suggesting different ones and if you could also if you have time you feel generous check out my buddy Matt beaver give him a follow on Instagram he went like I said above and beyond during this whole process setting up the first deal than this one and he wasted a lot of his own and for me you know I'm a youtuber so like yes I wasted some money and some time but it's not that big of a deal whereas that's his job every day and his you know his work and his career so and it is mine too but I'm a little bit more flexible so for him to waste all that time and to order a car a hundred and seven thousand dollar car to replace the one she was supposed to sell it's a really big deal so check him out Matthew Beaver 31 and we should be arriving here at the dealership and like about about 20 minutes destination is on your left okay well we're here a long trip wow they do have a lot of trouble they got a Chevy parked on top of cars in the parking lot this is this is my type of place but we're finally here long trip actually not bad at all I think we left at what like 250 and I'm here by basically 9 o'clock so really only about a little over six hours which is not bad at all and I think that total trip is like 490 miles somewhere in there so I made really good time even with my uh my pullover but apparently this is like a Marine town there's a Marine base nearby they were not kidding they do sell a lot of trucks or at least they have a lot so I assume they sell a lot look at that Black Horse Edition Silverado that looks really cool and this is what I was referring to that is awesome these are my people here right up my alley anyway let's go find my car and I'm gonna try to get back on the road pretty quick because I want to hit the DC traffic and everything at the same in the same like good time period that I did on the way down if that makes sense like I don't want to be there anywhere near rush-hour I actually really have no idea where I'm going but oh there it is oh my god there it is up front there it is I just found it Wow you can't miss that thing oh my god it was six so this is the backup car same spec except it's actually a little bit better it has the suede inserts on the seats the only thing is it's an auto which I know I wanted a manual but the auto is gonna be faster for racing and let's go let's go check it out Wow I know that I've owned one before but like the black on black looks really really good but the blue accents so this is it this is the big surprise it is in fact a 2019 zr1 black on black I wore the shirt this is it my new car I've been wanting to get back into a 0/1 for a while oh my god that is pretty cool it's making me feel like when I first you know got my first ever Corvette and you know it's kind of weird like I had a 570 I had a 720 but this is like I don't know this really feels this just feels right I don't know I guess I really did miss having a Corvette I don't know if it's unlocked but it has the comp seats which was a must for me calm seats suede insert carbon-fiber look at that beautiful gloss carbon fiber on the seat and the full carbon - as well really really cool that gloss carbon is gorgeous on these Corvettes and the gloss carbon on the wheel oh my god it's got it all yes this one actually has the dual roof package as well so I have this one and another roof it's my 2019 zr1 carbon on the vent as well I think this car stickers it like one yeah 144 six so a little bit more expensive I'm up about fourteen grand from the car I was going to get before that deal fell through but the plus side is this is brand-new and it gets beaver a sale a new Corvette sale back home so this counts towards his c8 Corvette allocations which I will be getting one of those as well so if I can help him in that way that's pretty cool but there you go mmm I like it I like it I can't wait to drive it and I can't wait to race this thing black on black with blue which matches the badging and then this car actually has the little carbon fiber center cap which is neat I wanted black because the goal is to wrap it and if you're gonna wrapped a car black is a great color to have as a base because it hides everything and it looks good underneath I love I love that blue I've really looked at it up close but that blue is a really really cool shade Wow well let me know what you guys think but this is this is it this is my new car right here I can't believe it it's real cool old Chevy truck nice and I got the keys boys I got the keys thank you so much thank you I'm excited almost I'm at nine hundred thousand not up not a million yack but thank you so much everyone here is really nice - everyone's excited about it they said that they enjoyed looking at it while it was here which I can't blame them god I'm all I don't even know what to do I'm all out of sorts the only bad part is I should have brought like painters tape for the front so it doesn't get any stone chips but I'll just be really careful I just got to be really really careful and keep my distance from everybody on the road luckily black makes it a little bit easier if it does get chipped it's a little bit easier to hide because it's like black underneath it's like the bumper plastic material is black but yeah I am gonna be really careful for the trip home the trip all my can't believe I can't believe I'm about to drive this thing home it really feels good to hear that sound again oh yes I got the keys check this out ten miles honor only ten miles and we are ready to rock it we're ready I can't even talk we're ready to rock and roll in the 2019 zr1 let's do it let's embark on our journey home and here we go this I'm leaving this is it I'm in at 2019 zr1 once again but I gotta tell you it feels it feels like the first time like it doesn't feel like I've already owned one of these cars and I think because like this one I don't know I did like the orange too but the black on black is like menacing like this thing is actually Darth Vader god it's gnarly it's gnarly jeez hold on I wanted to I get a quick pic here before I leave you guys think of let me know in the comments what you think of this is the r1 I think it's gonna make for some great content some great content oh my god and it really feels weird being back behind this massive hood by the way while I was down here all the only been here for like like 20 minutes all the power is out the power in the dealership the power and all the lights so it's it's complete chaos at this point really great for driving my brand-new 0 or 1 but look at that that massive hood is so weird I haven't driven up a car and so long like it's been so difficult not having a fun fast car and just this right here oh my god though I tell you what that's how it has been way too long oh my god guys everybody was right this feels so good to be back in this car it's just so like it's so crazy I know like the c7 has been out for a while but this somehow feels well it is definitely more special and different but this somehow feels like a different car almost really massive wings sticking out the back there's still times where I'm like where I'm like I can't believe Chevrolet put that on a car like a Corvette you know because Corvette guys are probably a lot of them are very against that but I love it I went to Target to get some like painters tape to make a little bra for the car because I don't want to drive it home and the power's out every it's like kind of crazy the apocalypsegood morning guys and welcome to the
