If you’re going to host a roadside attraction, you need a star! And that my friends is the C8 Corvette. We don’t know what the reason was (if there ever is one) for this public sideshow but we came across this video this evening showing a 2020 Corvette Stingray doing donuts in the middle of a Philadelphia intersection.

In addition to the Chevrolet Corvette going Mid-Engine in 2020, another sports car with a historic lineage finally made its return to showrooms in the form of the 2020 Toyota Supra. Although facing some criticism as a rebadged BMW Z4, the Supra is still an exciting car and one that does compete with the new Mid-Engine Corvette with winning over the younger demographics in the marketplace.

Once completed, I’d display them proudly around my room. Instead of reading material, my bookshelf was loaded with small plastic cars. That glorious smell of glue mixed with Testors spray paint will always make me smile.
