Nice to see you back in the saddle, Elliott! Congratulations, Jacob!! That condition is how Hugo rents that car out??! Yuk. The new GF is hot. Well done.
@@ElliottAlvis I mean... just an outsider looking in.... You and Tyler both got hot GF's at around the same time... Just sayin. Well done! Verrrry happy for you, my MAN!
@@ElliottAlvis Have you taken her out in the Model A yet? I mean, if you want to seal the deal, a Model A is the obvious choice. That's how I got my hottie, as you know.
My wife doesn't understand why I have more cars than I can drive at one time. She's going to be upset when I mention I am thinking of buying another for a DD.
Meeting notes at Turo..."Hey, should we sponsor this UA-cam Dude in Kansas?" "Has he rented from us before and videoed it?" "Yes, seems he finds the worst of Turo and gets those cars." "No way, I don't want anyone putting Turo in a bad light because the owner was dumb enough to put Lambo doors on a C8 and rent out a broken car!" May I suggest National? Or if trying to save the most, Budget? Just an idea Elliott. Always cool to see another video and congrats to Jacob's cousin on getting married! That shot of your girlfriend and the suitcase....priceless!! What? NO CATS in this video? LOL
@@ElliottAlvis With all due respect, that is called _shilling._ When you purposely omit pertinent information just to appease your captors...I mean $ponsors. This shows a lack of honor and integrity. Is this really how you want to portray yourself and/or your channel? Turo is trash. Plain and simple. Stay classy my friend.
With the convertible top button being on the door and the way that wire harness looks in those doors.... I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a wiring issue from that shoddy door work.
Hi Elliott! What an awesome video with the original version of Elliott. I was really happy to hear you say girlfriend so many times, because it’s great for the Performance and for your mental wellbeing.
The reason why you rent cars from legitimate rental businesses like Enterprise. C7 and C8 owner and absolutely love it. Not sure about your friend but my C8 is more roomy than my C7.
By the way, as far as the convertible top goes, that button you kept clcking is supposed to be held down until the top goes down and you get a message on the dash saying the top is secure then. Then you release the button. The same applies in putting up the top only in reverse. Just pull the button up and hold it until the top comes all the way up and locks. Then you should get your message on the dash saying it's secured and then you release the button. Hope this helps... Good luck!
But the way you talk about it, it sounds like you're putting the car down whether you realize it or not. And with my Lambo doors, not once that I ever have the paint chip off of the doors or fenders on either side... Ever! But like you said also, it's a rental car and most people won't treat it like it's their own car. Car thus you end up with what you got.
I bought my old 944 back a few years ago. My wife packed a huge bag for 4 days. I told her it would be better to pack something smaller. Was ignored. I still hear about how there was no room in the car. I had my bag, a set of wheels, and some other stuff.
Good to see you again! I think I'd be okay with cruising around Arizona in a "crappy" C8, even though the quirks would definitely be irritating, considering you paid for and were expecting a reasonably sorted convertible! Amazing to have so many issues with so few miles behind it, but I guess it is GM lol
I beg to differ with you. The Lamborghini doors do work when they're probably installed. After the initial installation of the doors, usually about 1-3 months. And there's a screw up with old hinges used to be for each door. That will adjust the height of the door so it probably opens and closes. I had them in my 2020 Corvette for almost 2 years. Never an issue except the alignment of the driver's door which was opened and closed a lot was just starting to need an adjustment on its alignment. I personally found them to be more commerce in getting in and getting out but the doors work fine if properly installed.
@@ElliottAlvis You aren't wrong, you should get some money back or at least a negative review on the car is in order. If he can't at least fix the basic features (including a pretty major safety issue) then it shouldn't be on turo.
@@nstg8 my Audi A8L S had a check engine light on, and got 9mpg the week I had it. On the last day, I had it scanned, curious as to what it was, the 02 sensors, and catalytic converter was clogged.....Turo said "So what" LOL
C8s just aren't practical like their predecessors. Maybe Chevrolet should make a variation of the C7 with a small back seat and call it the new Camaro?
If you are a corvette fan as you said you are you would know that the big check in bags don’t fit. It has been widely spoken about. As you said. Look on UA-cam.
Ya, for some reason I have slightly more room on the driver side but not much more even in the coupe. Definitely hitting my head in a wreck regardless. 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll be keeping my c7.
@@yiyangchengya, unfortunately even the z06 has that same plastic molding covering the roll hoop that protrudes just as much as the convertible. I can’t recline too far because my head hits that before the seat back, I can’t put the seat back upright more or my head is in the roof. So I have to slouch to drive it. My dad has a slightly shorter torso so it works for him.
@@yiyangchengI could, as Jeremy Clarkson would recommend, saw my legs off in order to fit with the seat in a more forward position, however that might prove to be slightly impractical.
Congrats to Jacob on the wedding. Also congrats if the GF stuck around after this experience. I suppose Dunking on Turo is probably not the best way to get sponsored by them, but then again would you want to when every experience with their cars is objectively worse than any other way you could experience a particular car? I hope you managed to get at partial refund, tho maybe this video will handle that.
Yeah I wasn’t intending to dunk on Turo as much as I did, but they still don’t know who I am, and I’ve gotten some real turds from them 😂. It’s more on the owner than on Turo though.
@@ElliottAlvis the reason I know. Was because when I was following Volvo series. I remember hearing you say to your father how your wife hated car. And laughed when your father answered. “How can anyone hate the rate car. I agreed 👍 with your dad. LoL
Anyone that buys a C8 then puts lambo doors on it, clearly doesn't care about the car, probably can't afford it, or barely can. He can't get the car serviced because he modified the doors.
I thought you were married with kid(s)? And if memory serves your girlfriend looks a lot like your wife? Are you just joking around to get some Hoovie points or did something happen? And if so, is that why regular videos died off on your channel? Great to see a video out, looking forward to the next ones.
In the beginning of the video, you sound angry because Turo is not sponsoring you. After this video, I think you know why. And why would you want to be after renting this wreck (And others previously)? You also sounded like you were blaming the C8 for defects when it was really the owner’s very poor maintenance and stupid options he installed. But toward the end of the video you cleared up those points. Good work.
What an absolute basket case! I'm all for fitting in and driving something fun, Elliott, but this is a bit much! Next time treat your wife to something with more space! And congrats to Jacob!
Yeah, it was a bit cramped with the luggage. Luckily we only had to travel like that to and from the airport. The rest of the time we just had to deal with all of the car’s other shortcomings 😂. Thanks for watching as always Bunker.
It happened a while ago if I'm not mistaken, obviously people don't like to discuss things like this in video because then it's a thing for longer than they want it to be.
As a newer viewer/subscriber, your complaints that were entirely the fault of the guy on Turo that doesnt maintain his car but rents it out anyways.... you kinda made sound like they were Chevy's fault....which none of your problems were. This was just this Turo owners fault you had a bad experience, funny as they were. For instance, I kind of think that the squirrelly feeling you were getting was because of one rear wheel that is over an inch difference in size according to the measurements you read off. The sensors at any speed would be telling the computer that the smaller wheel is spinning because it is rotating faster than the other one. That could explain a lot...not Chevy's fault. Glad to see I dont want to add lambo doors when I get one....not Chevy's fault. Owner didn't update the software.....camera fail not Chevy's fault. You didn't tell your GF to pack in smaller bags since you rented a Vette...not Chevy's fault. I know you didn't rail on Chevy and I'm not on you either. Just keeping score for the person who doesn't know Vettes that stops by. I do hope you complained to Turo and get your money back. That is just bad business when the owner rents a convertible and know it doesn't work. Please do an update letting us know if you got your money back, AND let people know its NOT CHEVY's fault. Best wishes!
I didn’t mean to make any of it seem like Chevy’s fault! I’m a huge huge huge corvette guy. Possibly to a fault. Every issue this car had was because of the owner. I’m sorry if it came off as anything other than that.
@@ElliottAlvis glad you responded. I didn't take it as a hate video...but maybe your sarcasm was hidden a bit at first. You sounded sarcastically pissed off.... as I would have been. But it almost seemed like a review of the car citing probs. No worries. Enjoyed it none the less and do hope you got something back on that rental.
Moronic review, where to start! For one, must of these issues are damage related or owner induced problems. Scissor door related problems are NOT a GM problem.
Those doors, license plate, and being on Turo... I would just assume there's a lot broken and zero maintenance. Congrats to Jacob!
There aren't many things I hate more than fake lambo doors.
It’s one of the tackiest mods you can do.
Congratulations on the girlfriend. And this was a great video. The bloopers at the end were really funny.

The Lamborghini doors are adding lightness to the fenders by removing unnecessary paint.

Wonder what else Car Wizard would find wrong with it if Hoovie bought it?
