I bet Chevrolet PR was glad to see how one of their press cars was treated.

Would have been more hilarious if the car had stalled and got stranded in the water. Sure there wouldn't have been any water damage. Or not.

And that's what I love about this car the C8 beutiful and disposable.  But yet compared to many super cars
We stopped for lunch, and as we were leaving the restaurant parking lot, I saw this car....
Yes, it's a Ferrari.... an F8 Tributo to be exact. And, of course, I had to get out and take a closer look....
I looked up some details.
Ferrari F8 Tributo, starting at $283,950....

While it's only an estimate, Car & Driver suggests it can do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds!

That's the same for the actual results for the Corvette....

Of course, the Ferrari has a faster top end....
