Default I'm 65. Today was a 1st

A new one for me.
Did about 300 miles today in my SGM 18.
Some on the Fl Turnpike. I needed to send a text so I pulled into a service plaza. I noticed a car get off Right behind me.
He pulls in and parks beside me.
Late 20s guy gets out of his car. Phone in hand. He's a little excited.

I've been looking for a LC on the road, yours is the 1st one I've seen.
Could I take a couple pics of it?

😳
Of course he could.
I reminded him that they will make at least 10 times as many 22 Vettes as they will LCs

bruce glad it worked out not to be a downer, but i personally would be VERY leery of such events due to rampant car jackings, robberies, assaults, and more.

thankfully almost no one where i am and have been has paid the slightest interest in my LC.

Nice, the LC is definitely a boxer-dropper.

So far have seen 2 LC's in my little town. When I had my F-Type Jag, only one around, and I had people asking to take pix, and "What kind of car is that. Now there are several in the area.. Glad I go rid of mine. Lots of C8 Corvettes now. Looking forward to getting an LC. Not too showy, definitely unusual.

Sam not to showy? I have people follow me and ask what it is, attendants in gas stations coming out and popping pictures as well as restaurants with valet asking if I would mind parking the LC up front in one of there selected spots. Car is very showy and as this forum has mentioned, they do not over lap in any one area, with a few in-between.

Maybe I chose wrong word. "Showy" as in Liberace, or Elton John. "Eye" catching as in subtly elegant. No doubt the LC attracts attention.

Have seen only two LCs in the Bay Area here. Many Bentley, Mclarens, Lambo, Ferraris, Lotus...so infested with Teslas here that's for sure.

I would love to own the LC500h in the couple of years when my son takes over my 17 ES350, don't want to get rid of it, only has 29K mikes on her.

Yeah the ES is practically new. Bought it with 2 miles on her in Aug 2017, 2.5 years later a dumpster fire happened (COVID-19). WFH every since.
My son wants a Tesla M3, I said "Sure you do, but ain't gonna happen".

Bought my new to me LC in Feb. A 2019 l/certified coupe. It took me the long way around to finally own one of these beauties, but I finally made it. I owned a 2016 Corvette when I saw my first LC at a Lexus dealership. Never dreamed I would ever be able to afford one. I have seen 3 LC's on the road since I bought mine. I love the fact they are very rare. 2 weeks ago I took mine to a fairly large Cars & Coffee in my local area. Needless to say it caught many an eye, it was the only one there and so many commented that they have never seen one before. I have owned 2 Corvettes and without a doubt the LC gets much more attention IMHO. My guess is because there are not many others around. I was in my 15 month waiting for an allocation on a 2022 C8 Corvette. The opportunity was presented to me that this LC was available. Cancelled my Corvette order the same day. No regrets!
