I'm thinking about buying a new 2024 Corvette to replace my '95 (234,000 miles) and was able to find a Chevy dealer with a used 2023 2LT vette. $77K, 8,000 miles. The drive was a surprise. I figured the rear engine noise might be annoying but it was totally quiet! The car was perfect.

Great sportscaster. Worked with Dick Enberg (“Oh, my!”), Gary Bender, Curt Gowdy, etc. At a Georgetown-Villanova game, referred to Allen Iverson as a “tough monkey”. He apologized for it, but Iverson said he was not bothered by it. I recall the comment as “That little money can play!”.
