Congrats on getting yourself a C8. I know how you feel, sold my 05 Z51 to get an in ground pool for my girls. I know that I’ll eventually own a C8, I’m a true believer of karma. Love to see my girls happy and I’m sure they will love to see me happy when I eventually own a C8.
Hey Rick, You got a real start on your C8! You really deserve to have one. Life does sometimes get in the way. Wife and kids need to be taken care of for sure. Thank your family for us for allowing you to do this Vlog series for your subscribers. It definitely helps a lot of us to pass the days. Stay safe Vincent
So happy for you,Rick, to be one step closer to “start driving” for yourself! How sweet that will be to take delivery of you own C8 Rapid Blue! Dave in AZ
Rick! I saw that comment on yesterday’s video! I’m so happy for you that you are finally getting your Vette! After all you have done for everyone the last 25 years, I would say you are more than deserving. If I could, I would give you and your new spoiler, a send off pat!! Congratulations buddy! I can’t wait to see some wheels under that spoiler. Rapid blue is my favorite as well.
I was a Journeyman Jig & Fixture builder for 15 years before becoming a Dimensional Validation Engineer. I was working on the 1983 Corvette at a 3rd. party shop when we were told there would be no 83 model year. It had taken way longer to engineer than expected. Congratulations on on getting my favorite car corvette. 2021 Corvette. I my self have had 3.
My C8 build date finally here next week and I’m so excited I may piss myself. Can hardly wait any longer. Congratulations Rick on you getting a Corvette at last! By the way, Bloomington Gold was rescheduled for middle of September at Lucas Oil Stadium Indianapolis. Lets all try to make the show and support this Corvette institution during these difficult times. BG needs our support and has done so much for the Corvette community all these years.
Congratulations Rick, soon that delivery truck will pulling up with your Rapid Blue C8. Like you said, you waited 25 years so what's one year? Happy for you buddy.
Congrats on ordering a 2021 for yourself Rick! There is nothing to feel guilty about. People usually end up regretting the things they didn't do far more than anything they did do throughout life.
Congrats to Ernie on the high wing addition to his car and send off pat. Watching Chuck separating the Z51 wing from the car was really tricky that will go on your 2021 preorder car CONGRATS Rick hopefully I can get in on the preorder for a Accelerate Yellow 2LT 2021. Have a great day Rick like the daily VLOGS keepem comin. Tom from SC.
Glad you're finally marching to your own words of stop dreaming and start driving. Now it's not just Radio Rick the car salesman, but you also own what you sell. Welcome to the club!!
Rick that AWESOME !! If anyone deserved one especially after all the sacrifices you've made it's you!! Please don't let anyone talk you out of your car!! IT"S TIME stop dreaming!!!
Super excited for you Rick, your very own C8 delivery vLog is going to be an Epic one for sure...!!! I know you will do something unique and very special for your delivery day. I would love to be there too with you to share your delivery moment, don't forget to include your subscribers on this day. :-)
Great vlog today Rick. Using a heat gun on low temp will soften the grip on two sided tape making rear wing removal much easier! Also your 15 min blog time is perfect for those of us on our mud morning 15 min break at work! Keep up the great job Rick.
It is time to get your dream car Rick. You took care of your family and other people before you. It is time you do something for yourself. I've always wanted a vette, but financially it was too expensive and I had to take care of my family first. I retired 4 years ago and I bought a C8. I got it last April. No regrets.
Removing items attached with double sided tape is a lot easier if you park the vehicle in the sun for a couple hours before you attempt to remove them. The sun is a great "free" tool!
Great video Rick! I’m getting super excited, just found out my TPW is August 24th for my Blade Silver Z51 Convertible! Made the cut for 2020 by one week, how cool is that. 😎 I’ll be doing my second R8C delivery at the NCM around the end of the first week in September. Just so happens that my birthday is September 3rd, the day after my granddaughter‘s fifth birthday. I’ve got C8 2020 Vision Baby! A special shout out to Kai Spande, Shane Webb and Mr. Larry McCool for making it happen!
That's what I would have preferred with my Z51 Rapid Blue. Blue mirror bucket on the black stem, but didn't want body color wing. You got the real deal.
I am so excited for you to be getting your first Vette to call your own! We will enjoy watching your reports as you go through the process. But, this time, you gotta do it!! I can’t help but wonder….who is going to give you a send off pat?
Awesome brother, glad to hear you finally getting one for you, you deserve it you work way to hard. God bless you Rick, I’ll be seeing you soon as well for I myself will finally will be getting my first vette ,just trying to figure will it be convertible or not.
Congrats on your wing purchase..... Question - Does the high wing installed interfere with the rear view mirror camera? Are there any pics of the camera rear mirror with a high wing installed? Thanks.
Hey my Dear Friend, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! I still feel your dealership should give you a DEMO every year!!!!! Especially with the volume you sell. Also, no other sales person should sell Corvettes. Your knowledge should make you have a Corvette Show room and an office THREE times the one you have now. I know enough of my shit. One last item, where are Nicole’s DRAWINGS??????? God Bless you and your family always... see you tomorrow CONGRATULATIONS Dennis from Florida 👍👌😎🥂🌴🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Rick I mentioned in Jim’s first delivery video that it will be a great day to see you getting YOUR keys while at the Museum. Will you do the NCM delivery? If so you will have to invite us! 🏆
Hi Rick, when you get your C8, the shortage of new ones will probably be there, so use yours as A Demo, and make future sales doing so, then its A business expense and huge tax write off...then buy A Z06.
Question: If you order the optional Center caps with Stingray logo, do the rims come from the factory with the standard center caps? Because I heard you say the engine cover and center caps are in the car.
definitely not going to happen in July 2021 (sorry Rusty), but since the 21's will be starting production in Nov this year and deliveries starting in late Nov/early December this year ---then my best guess is that the C8 Z06 delivers will start around the same time frame but in 2021 (late Nov/early December 2021) since it will be a 2022 model year and not a 2021. So we are about 15-16 months away from seeing the first Z06 deliveries here...!
Love the high wing, just curious, why don’t they use a heat gun for the two sided tape, I know you don’t want to damage the paint and things but seems to me a little heat would help with the removal? Congrats on ordering your C8
Hey Rick I hope it doesn’t end up in the garage forever. You’re going to have to stop dreaming and start driving at some point. I thought about something that would be cool for the C8. The engine cover matching the exterior color.
Thanks Troy, send me a direct email rickconti@coughlincars.com and when we start talking about that , because so much going on now, those on that list I will communicate with first
Congrats on the Vette. You deserve it for all you do for every one else.
Stop Dreaming, Start Driving Rick!

Glad to hear you are getting your C8...didn’t get my C6 till I was almost 70...for similar reasons...it was worth the wait!
Congrats on your C8! I am so excited to see the installation of Victor racing smart active wing and feel the difference in performance!
Good for you for ordering a C8! Excited for you. Definitely worth the wait!
It's time. Happy for you plus you already have the spoiler 🤷♂️
Yes, its time! Congrats.
Thanks Dennis, will be getting with you soon to get yours in sir,
Really happy to hear about your C-8 order, I just hope your salesman is more responsive than the guy I am dealing with

That's what I would have preferred with my Z51 Rapid Blue. Blue mirror bucket on the black stem, but didn't want body color wing. You got the real deal.
Rick, Your Corvette has to be a Convertible! Love the daily vlogs.
Awesome!!...can't wait to get my blue!!
Way to go Rick! Happy for you Man! Well deserved.
I got a high wing I didn’t have installed. Do you think I should just keep it to keep the original value as the original??
I am so excited for you to be getting your first Vette to call your own! We will enjoy watching your reports as you go through the process. But, this time, you gotta do it!! I can’t help but
wonder….who is going to give you a send off pat?
Congrats I am also proud of my C8 with amazing high wing from Victor racing company, it is real neck breaker.
Awesome news congrats
Congrats! I have just finished with installation of victor racing wing.
Awesome brother, glad to hear you finally getting one for you, you deserve it you work way to hard. God bless you Rick, I’ll be seeing you soon as well for I myself will finally will be getting my first vette ,just trying to figure will it be convertible or not.
Best selling point for a salesman is to look your customer in the eye and say, I own one. Nuff said.
Congrats! u deserved it! And every C8 deserves great wing like Victor racing makes..
Hey
Rick, the saying “Good things come to those that WAIT”, means just that. I can relate. (Oh, by the way, its worth the wait)!!! DUH....
Glad for you. I think BG could make dealer installs alot easier for Chuck. He needs to get them staright!
*Rick Corvette Conti* Thanks for this! Can't wait for More. Oh Have a superior day! :d
About time Rick!! Good for you!
Bout friggin time Rick, rock the block.👍🏻💥😎
That Tech needs a raise, working with that spoiler with glue and screws.
Its time Rick!!!!
Congrats on your wing purchase..... Question - Does the high wing installed interfere with the rear view mirror camera? Are there any pics of the camera rear mirror with a high wing installed? Thanks.
Rick - you’re just building your Corvette one Piece at a Time! Good luck at the DMV when the title reads: 2020, 2021, 2022 .....
Ricky/congratulations!!!! 🎊 🎈 🎉
Hey my Dear Friend, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
I still feel your dealership should give you a DEMO every year!!!!!

Also, no other sales person should sell Corvettes. Your knowledge should make you have a Corvette
Show room and an office THREE times the one you have now. I know enough of my shit.

Fishing line will get it off. but i know chuck has some tricks up his sleeves.
Nice vlog rick

Question: If you order the optional Center caps with Stingray logo, do the rims come from the factory with the standard center caps? Because I heard you say the engine cover and center caps are in the car.
When do you think the c8 z06 will start being delivered
July 2021 🤫
@@RustyZipper there not going two be for the 2021 model year gm will unveil them in July next year

Rick, what does it take to get on the list for the 2022 z06? How much? Thanks BTW!
Thanks Troy, send me a direct email rickconti@coughlincars.com and when we start talking about that , because so much going on now, those on that list I will communicate with first
Why doesn’t Chuck use fishing line on the double sided tape?
Ricky!! Put in your order ! Stop dreaming and start driving remember!!!
Hey Rick, "Stop Dreaming and Start Driving!" Time to take your own advice man.
I heard that if you want to track a C8 you have to add two more quarts of transmission fluid to transmission. Is that true.
YES IT and you can leave it in there after the session
Thanks for the reply
So who will do the farewell pat???
