The story
As a long time Corvette owner, I had to sell my Corvette in 2009 when I got laid off. I got a new job and saved up for 10 years when I started looking for a new Vette. The BMW i8 was a "similar car" on CarGurus. I checked it out and it was truly special. I daily drive it since it gives me great gas mileage, being a hybrid. But, it's also a head turner and I enjoy taking it to cars and coffee events.
