Our friends at Corvette Central are celebrating their 45th anniversary of manufacturing and supplying high-quality Corvette parts to customers around the world. We recently received an email from the company that offers a look back at their history and the journey that began with a guy in the tool and die business who needed parts for his 1958 Corvette.
Electric vehicles only accounted for 1.9% of new vehicle sales in 2019, down from an all-time high of just 2.1% the year prior. This was all in spite of an influx of new zero-emission vehicles hitting the market year-over-year. The EV market’s extremely limited reach hasn’t detoured General Motors from investing $20 billion in the technology in an attempt to supplant Tesla as the market’s go-to supplier of zero-emission vehicles.

Earlier this week we brought you the story of Jake Spiczka’s 2020 Corvette whose engine seized up while it was been driven by a couple of YouTubers. During an inspection of the car at the dealership, metal shavings were found in the oil filter. As the data logs showed it wasn’t a driver error, GM requested the engine be sent to Detroit where it was inspected by engineers.
While we are new to the story, Jake says he’s been dealing with this for about three weeks now. But the good news is that the Corvette is back in Jake’s possession and he has some follow-up news about the cause of his engine’s seizure.
