I'm not surprised anymore as I've seen some hideous choices made by some Vette owners...As the old adage goes money doesn't buy taste or class!

Terrell Davis had an orange Lamborghini Gallardo with blue interior when he played in Denver.

I got to drive it after he sold it.

Orange and blue do compliment each other when done right. I don't hate it, but I agree some additional blue accents like calipers would help make it work better.

Agreed, with blue stripes it would make the look more cohesive at least.

It wouldn't be my first choice for a color combination but you have to admit it's very unique.

You must have forgot to mention that Cars and Coffee was running a contest for the Ugliest C8. Which one won?

[QUOTE=hdrider1;1605353590]Another C8 just showed up to the cars and coffee. It's a bit too over the top for me.

My 2007 base has an LS7, A & A S/C (10 lbs of boost) 70cc ported and polished cathedral heads, port matched Belanger Custom Tri-Y headers and exhaust, and on a trip from Kingman AZ to Phoenix (185 miles) got 29.3 mpg.......incredible! So I certainly believe the 30+ mpg with the C7........beautiful cars my friend!

That's what so cool about all the ways to build these C8's. It's your personal preference. As for C8 Tron, I think it's awesome and had the chance to meet Tim in Pigeon Forge. Really cool guy and owns an awesome tattoo shop on Short Vine in Cincy. Him and Tron will be at Carlisle in August.

His money ..
His choice…


Re the blue one….if he goes to sell it he’ll take a beating. Hopefully he’s smart enough to take off that stripping first.

I've got to believe his plan is to keep it forever and never try to sell it.

It worked better with Sebring Orange, and there is at least one member here who has that combo. Orange & blue are complimentary colors, however, the shades of these two don't work the best with each other. The tension blue interior really only works with Silver or Gray, like on the Watkins Glen Gray C7 Grand Sport with the matching blue fender hash marks.

I believe Jeremy Welborn's (spelling?) aka. jagamajajaran 2020 coupe has that color combo.
