Actually, I don’t own a dealership. It is just a happy coincidence that I happen to share a name with the dealership that sponsors our Camaro Club. Makes for some hilarious club email conversations.

Well James Martin told me...
The person or the dealership?


My understanding is that “James” and “Martin” were the first names of the two original owners, both of whom have gone on to own their own individual dealerships. In fact, the “official” name of the dealership is James - Martin Chevrolet (note the dash between the names).

Figured that. You come off as being too honest to be a dealer plus I know you're an engineer... well that also makes you an inherently honest person.

That's funny. But agreed. Non nuerotypicals just want the truth and nothing but the truth.

And agreed Martinjlm is a stand up person.

But I'm still not buying that he doesn't own that dealership.

Haven't heard from the 3 trolls in a while. Who's turn was it to babysit them and change their diapers? LOL!! Maybe they decided to get a life instead of following me around on here.

I have considered. Very high startup capital. Even higher risk. Not gonna happen.

Blaq should have been a lawyer the way he gets certain people riled up. He would get confessions out of everyone by driving them crazy lol

Here’s a really good track comparison of the C8 Stingray vs base GT500 at Willow Springs. Very informational and well produced video. Before you view, just know that he does not provide track times. He’s stated that he will detail the times in the next video. He does describe what’s going on with each car through all the corners, curves, and straights of Willow Springs.

I haven't heard from the guy that had the boss 302 then got a gt350 in a while. His user name escapes me at the moment.

You are good people Blaq. Respect. I hope you can get some good protective gear. for all those that don't. Health care should never be for profit unless you are treating the very rich.

And then there was the guy who claimed he was getting a GT500 and wanted to bet everyone. He traded in his tricked-out Bimmer or something. We've certainly had some very colorful folks wander in here.
