It’s Tuesday. This hurts my soul. With the new C8 having the engine located near the rear of the car, it has a 40-60 weight distribution. Clearly this wasn’t taken into consideration when the mechanic put it on the lift.

Oh No, Another C8 Corvette Has Fallen Off A Shop Lift

The Rapid Blue Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray will likely be declared a write-off

A Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray has been wrecked after falling off a two-post car lift somewhere in North America.

As the C8-generation Corvette is mid-engined, its weight distribution is very different than the C7. In fact, whereas the C7 had a 50-50 weight distribution, the C8 model has a 40-60 split. This means the new car needs to be lifted differently than its predecessor. Evidently, the mechanic at this shop might have not received the memo.

Two images recently shared to the Corvette Forum show the Rapid Blue Corvette resting on its rear after slipping off the two-post jack. In all likelihood, the mechanic didn’t use the correct lifting points at the rear of the vehicle which, as Corvette Blogger points out, are placed much further back than on the C7.

The force of the fall has caused a significant split in the bodywork of the sports car and while not visible in these photos, there’s a very good chance that the frame has also been bent. If that’s the case, the car will immediately be declared a write-off and will probably go to a scrapyard where it may be sold.

This isn’t the first time a C8 Corvette has slipped off a two-post car lift. In June 2020, a very similar incident occurred when a Chevrolet dealership in Jacksonville, Florida incorrectly lifted a red C8 Stingray. The Corvette in that incident is also believed to have suffered irreparable damage from the fall.

 

It’s Monday. Welcome to a new day, a new month, and a new year! We decided to spend NYE at home. The girlfriend made a steak & lobster dinner and it was very tasty. I am a huge lobster fan, so my belly was definitely happy. After dinner we checked out the new Knives Out movie, Glass Onion. It’s packed with big names and was pretty good. If you like murder mysteries then you’ll probably like the Knives Out movies.

One thing I’ve never understood about New Year’s Eve are the people celebrating at 11 PM. Ever year in our neighborhood fireworks can be heard erupting at 11 PM. Not midnight, but an hour before the actual new year. Of course there’s plenty of fireworks at midnight, but why at 11 PM? Who celebrates for the people in the earlier time zone? Makes no sense.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great new year. I put together a special New Year’s babe collection, so enjoy!

It’s Friday! I apologize for the late update but I had a colonoscopy earlier which messed up my usual schedule. If you’ve ever had one then you know the actual procedure is a breeze. What really sucks is the prep the day before. You can’t eat a damn thing the entire day prior and the crap they make you drink to “clean out the pipes” is a nightmare. Anyway, I survived it and couldn’t be happier knowing I don’t have to go through it again for another 10 years!

The final holiday of the year is this Saturday night. As I mentioned the other day, I don’t have any big NYE plans. In the recent past, we’ve celebrated by cooking up a steak and lobster feast on New Year’s Day, which I wouldn’t mind doing again. Aside from that, not much else going on.

So let’s wrap this up with a new amateur photo from one of my female readers and the usual double babes & double jokes! Enjoy…

Keep, I’m a female reader who has been watching your site for almost a year. I found it through my boyfriend at the time. I enjoy reading your Daily Comments and the amateurs that you frequently show. That said, I would be honored if you would include this one of my own. Thank-you and I hope that you have a great new year! -Anonymous
