This story comes from Pat Scorzetti who is the owner of American Hydrocarbon and he tells us about the one Corvette that got away and how it finally came home after all these years.

![[SPIED] Multiple C8 Corvettes Are Seen Entering the NCM's Twinkle at the Track](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019-3/121319_5b.jpg)
Our friend in BG, aka the “Auto Aficionado of Bowling Green“, captured a rare sighting the other night as multiple 2020 Corvette Stingrays were spied entering the National Corvette Museum’s Twinkle at the Track at the Motorsports Park.
The National Corvette Museum this week announced a major remodel of the Performance Gallery, with work slated to be completed by late March, just in time for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony during the annual Michelin NCM Bash April 23-25, 2020.
![[ACCIDENT] C7 Corvette T-Boned in Florida By a Chevy Malibu](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019-3/121319_2b.jpg)
The driver of this white C7 Corvette coupe had to be extricated from his car after being involved in a T-bone crash with a Chevy Malibu this week.
The Stingray suffered major damage to the passenger side, with photos from the scene showing the door and fender panels removed, the airbags deployed, and the windshield smashed.
The accident happened at 1:41 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12 at the intersection of State Road 100 and Bulldog Drive (also known as Aviation Way, the road that leads to the county airport) in Palm Coast, Fla., across from Flagler Palm Coast High School.
Details on flaglerlive.com are unclear, but they reported that one of the drivers was flown to Halifax hospital in Daytona Beach by an emergency Trauma One helicopter that landed and took off from the vacant field in front of the airport. The other driver was carried to a hospital by a Flagler County Fire Rescue ambulance. Both drivers apparently suffered serious injuries in the crash.
The Corvette ended up in the grass on the south side of SR 100, facing northeast, with the Malibu nearby on the edge of the roadway with a smashed-up front end facing the same direction.
Both vehicles were towed away, and traffic was able to move normally by 2 p.m. before school was dismissed.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

Former Bowling Green Assembly Plant Manager Jeff Lamarche will take over the lead at the General Motors Spring Hill Manufacturing site in Tennessee early next year.
Lamarche was plant manager in the early days of the C7, from 2014-15, and retains a warm spot in his heart for the car as he still attends Corvette events, including last year’s Bash.

Want a drive a new C8 Corvette like you stole it? You can if you have the video game Grand Theft Auto 5.
We’ve been seeing more and more videos of the new 2020 Stingray on youtube as virtually modded for the game. I’m a little behind the times and don’t have that title, but I might just have to look into it after watching a YouTuber share 11 minutes of gameplay with the car.
And CorvetteBlogger’s award for the best Corvette of the ’80s goes to… the 1984 model! The first-year C4 is no stranger to winning prestigious awards as it was the first ‘Vette to ever take home the coveted golden calipers as MotorTrend’s Car of the Year.
