    Gotta love Billy and Royce. I love that he said “open to everyone!” Get politicians and media out of the way and people will get along better. What a great job they did! Kudos!

    Rick, thanks for showing all of us the event! That looked like it was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed it! Would be awesome if all of those folks returned to the Bash as well, but they would need more room to hold everyone then I bet!

    Being new myself to the Corvette community. What I have learned is that this car has truly tapped into the American spirit that unites us all as Americans. Rick you did a great job covering this amazing event by showing us that at the heart of it all...Its the people that make this a great car/country that we all share and love.

    Rick, covering this event just put you over the top with me man. Thanks for all the cool interviews and great coverage of the Corvettes. I've driven Cadillacs for the last 22 years. I'm getting ready to retire next year and my gift to me WILL be a C8 Corvette! YOU MAY SEE A RETIRED FF FROM MICHIGAN TO MAKE AN ORDER!

      TOTAL MISTEP BY GM & NCM....MY STATEMENT ABOVE IN Marc G's chat stream:
      If one takes into consideration that the OFFICIAL banner at the event and the same wording presented on their website was/is specific to ONLY African Americans, it is not unreasonable to conclude this is an exclusive gathering, to Marc G's point (made tongue-in-cheek). As a Caribbean-Islander (Jamaica) and Corvette owner, I don't see how this approach is inviting to others, especially with the wording. Can we not just unite over the car? Will this group attend the NCM Bash with the same fervor? Or will this be the BASH 2.0. Marc...you did "hit a nerve" above. The event may be "open to EVERYONE" but it is not INVITING to everyone. Thus, this discussion. To me, Corvette IS American culture, period. I'm all for celebrating the multiple ethnicities that comprise the American experience (St. Pat's Day, Labor Day NYC, Octoberfests, etc.). Included in the American experience is the ONE sports car of her diverse people-- CORVETTE. I've seen the car unite people of all walks of life, beautiful. Ethnic backgrounds are not relevant in those moments; the CORVETTE is! GM (with its new logo of lowercase letters...telling), our beloved NCM and the new CACW have...in my opinion...drawn a line that could lead to the opposite of their well-intention. Instead of uniting JUST around the car, they've moved into other considerations irrelevant to CORVETTE. Oh well [SADLY]...tis the age in which we now live. Just the car friends, just the car. Much love to all.

    Kudos to the 1st ever Cultural Awareness Corvette Show & to Rick Conti for helping to expand awareness of the event. As an owner of a 2021 C8 & an African American I’m disappointed I wasn’t aware of the event but I look forward to attending future events straight from NYC

    What an amazing event! The group of people, that put the all the hard work, that went into putting this together should be extremely proud.
    Also the creativity, that these Corvette owners have to make their car their own is mind boggling. As one of the gentleman stated no need for best of show or judging. Just show up and have fun.

    Man what can i say, i want to be part of this CACW, but there’s only one problem. I DON’T HAVE a CORVETTE. 😔 i went to every dealership on my area and so disappointed in their response or the incredible markups even on used vettes. Rick I emailed you as you requested and i never heard back from you, i know you’re a very busy man and i respect that and understand. Anyway my dreams are fading away slowly.

    What a great event. I bet the guard at GM had a very big eye opening of who owns Corvettes and the culture that surrounds it. Thanks Rick. Very eye opening. Shout out to all who put together the event and hope for continued success. 👍👍
