Well, it may be huge in Taiwan. But actually, I can’t back up that claim other than to say it should be! We’re not sure how newsworthy this is, but for us, it’s always been a point of pride to see our favorite American sports car lauded on foreign media in distant lands.

Ever since we caught that video from JMC Rides on YouTube showing a 2020 Corvette with fire and smoke coming out of its wheels after debris was sucked into the lower Z51 brake ducts, we’ve come to find that many Chevrolet dealerships were performing their Corvette PDIs incorrectly.

Seeing a 2020 Corvette Stingray covered in questionable stickers was unexpected to say the least.

A video of the car was shared to Reddit.com’s Sh!tty_Car_Mods and shows a Shadow Gray 2020 Corvette with the optional high wing parked street-side along a row of houses in Pennsylvania. The slew of stickers appears to have been haphazardly applied to the car.
