You plugged in a phone to the USB port? That’s odd, a charging cable didn’t come with the car, therefore it’s an aftermarket mod which makes it a ricer
Bladed when he owned a Mustang: I own a Mustang so I can make fun of them. Bladed now that he owns a Corvette: I own a Corvette so I can make fun of them.
Owning a car is basically a free pass to make fun of said car. I personally own a BMW 3-Series, and about half of my time spent with it is making fun of the cars and people who own them, despite me genuinely liking it.
And I'm like: "I'm done modding the car when it excels at every task from all motorsports" (acceleration, top speed, cornering, downforce, width, etc.)
@@falcongamer58 Realistically, that's not possible. You can make it damn good at all of those, but at some point, you're going to have to focus on one or two or else it'll start to suck at all of them.
Everything can be improved upon, this is why features get added to cars every year. carburetors work, yet we have fuel injection. natural aspiration works, yet we have turbos and superchargers. hell factory turbos and superchargers work, yet we have bigger, better and more efficient ones. everything can be improved, whether that be by swapping factory parts for better factory parts or well made aftermarket parts.
About the “no-modding allowed thing”, that’s what I love about the Mopar community. Seriously, most of us are all about slapping a big ass supercharged 572 HEMI or hellcrate in whatever it’ll fit in, and if that they’ll fit in. Wanna make it loud as hell and not care about speed? There’s a lot of us there too
When you run spacers, you end up getting a scrubbing effect, and that messes with handling and tire wear. That being said, RUN WIDER WHEELS SON. More rubber to burn, more grip to toss out the window, more fun to be had.
@@BladedAngel scrubbing not rubbing. The scrub radius is the arc your front tires draw at the edges when you turn the steering, putting spacers on increases the scrub radius because it moves the outer edge farther from the axis of rotation at the knuckle. That said wider tires also increases the scrub radius. It's not really a big deal though, I'm running 10mm front spacers on my Mk7 R and I don't have any problem with them.
Yo! Come to the Chevy dealer around my way and say the code phrase "single man with no kids". No you're not leaving there without having a Corvette experience.
I've wanted to have a Corvette since I was like 4 years old. I love it, the style of it just makes me smile. It is the car I can only dream of owning one day.
I’m buying my first corvette later this year. I’ve been working 20 years and it’s always been my dream car. And hell yeah it’ll be my daily driver. I didn’t wait 20 years to leave it in a garage.
I’d love to daily drive my Vette, problem is it would be destroyed in a few weeks/months. As for the mods, I like seeing modded vettes & stock vettes as-long as they are being driven or raced.
Just a random dude I can’t really transport parts in the car without making a mess, but mostly my Vette is way too low for the places I need to get into on a day to day basis
How to buy a corvette: 1. Walk towards the dealership 2. Walk through the door 3. Look for the employee 4. Tell the employee "yo, I want a corvette" 5. Pay 6. Take the key 7. Drive your corvette home Done

I'm on my second Corvette. I modded the hell out of it to turn it into a show car, have completely replaced the interior including the stereo, did a bunch of under hood dress up, and changed the exterior as well. Oh...and I've been daily driving it as well. It's a Chevy, not a multi-million dollar supercar, and I want to enjoy the hell out of it, which I do whether at a show, driving to and from work, or hitting up the track.
I get so much hate for driving a 90s Lincoln Town car and a 80s Mercedes because it's an old man car but they ride like butter and both cars have a ton of miles and a lot of memories I couldn't be happier with them so I can see the point of the video. Good work

Thanks for the heads up. That's one t -shirt I will not get. I am the cliche. 66 and bought my first Corvette. Always wanted one. Specifically a 59 or 64. But the heavens put a 2012 velocity yellow grand sport right in my sight line and it was love. I just went through two cancer scares in one year, (remission now), so I said why the hell not! (I had my midlife crisis 20 yrs ago.Ha!) I have my income streams. Retired again. No wife or kids. Only one other bill, so hey. Done deal. Happy happy joy joy. Keep up the good work.
Hey man I really fucking love your videos, and don’t worry to much about the rate of uploads goin down, none of us mind, you do what ya gotta do man, good luck
A man's love for his car is the strongest thing I have seen. I understand your want for that car and encourage you to follow it. (Mine is the 1966 Ford GT40, and I will be getting a replica soon, as I am 19 and saved enough for it)
Your not just some random guy on the internet Na your a awesome random guy on the internet who gave me entertainment and enjoys your work and I hope to see you do big things on your channel.
I call BS on the waitlist. There are two dealers in Central florida that have 25 Vettes in stock for the 65 year olds that live close by in 55 + communities.
Hahaha, love your rant on modding. I didnt mod my celica "technically", but I did rattle can the whole car in Russian camo. It's your car, do what you want with it. At the end of the day, you pay for it, enjoy it.
I very heavily modified my truck I put four transmission coolers and a bigger secondary electric fan and I apply rust in certain tactical locations, but the biggest modification are the little air fresheners I buy every once in awhile.
I... Don't know what to say. I know you don't want pity, but I feel so bad. I'll just leave it there. Best of luck to you, and keep going with the quality content.
He said it's just pre cancer and with theretment and lifestyle change he has at least 20 more years. He also said that it might get cured but that isn't 100% it will happen.
"stock" is simply a conglomeration of parts that came from the cheapest bidders... with few exceptions, "stock" is a Bad word ...love ur videos bro, thanx!
What constitutes an old guy in a corvette? I bought my C 5 used about 14 years ago. 50 m.p.h.? Maybe on a sharp turn that my truck could do 25. I’ve had that thing on the far side of 100 on the 95 bypass around Richmond. It has 106,000 miles on it and I love my corvette. I am closer to 65 than 64, I worked 30 years in a max prison as a C.O. If people want to make fun of me and my midlife crisis, so be it. I’m not listening. I’m cruising down the back roads having fun, and the wind noise blocks out any asshole who has an opinion. The one thing about being my age, we don’t care what anyone has to say.
Wish you the best with your health. If you survive long enough you will find your views will change on some things. We used to say that old age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time. At 58,I just bought my first corvette( and its a stick) to try and INDUCE a midlife crisis! Cheers and happy trails!
Hopefully I'll buy it a few years from now, and y'all will just find out when I make a video on it. It's a secret for a reason :) Otherwise if I go down before then, I'll settle for getting buried in my Z06.
I am picking up my first Corvette on Tuesday. It is a 2001 Torch Red C5 Convertible with an automatic trans. I am 75 so if this is my midlife crisis, I guess I’ll live to be 150! So for all of us old farts getting Corvette’s, ROCK ON👍🤠🇺🇸
I have 1/4 inch billet spacers on my front wheels because my big ass j56 Z06 brakes did not clear my aftermarket wheels width of the spokes!! It made absolutely no difference. Plus myfront wheels are half an inch wider than stock and the rears are an inch wider then stock so in doing 255 front and 305 rears. It's just GREAT!!! NO WHEELS STICKING OUT EITHER!
Even if it's a V8 paired to a slushamatic with a special torque converter that switches the stator vane pitch through some solenoid sorcery that you'd only expect from the 60's, feeling like a sort of faux kickdown while shit hemorrhaging its way from economy pitch (jk it still gets shit gas mileage -Oldsmobile) to performance pitch?
I own a Honda Accord and went out of my way on Etsy to buy a Honda Accord shirt and flex it as I'm cruising around and all my friends give me the funniest look like I treat it as if it were a high end Corvette. I love it.
My hometown has a Corvette dealer I’ve never seen a Corvette irl driving (and if I saw it stationary it was at that dealer) Edit: as I am european, Porsches, BMWs, and Maserati’s are way more common sports cars
I'm french, and I see more and more american cars here since a year. Especially Corvettes and Mustangs. I even saw a Hummer and a Dodge Challenger SRT last month, and I live in a small town.
My daily is a stock 93 40th anniversary edition Corvette and have done nothing to it except paint it Black and put red stripes on it, but I had NO idea Vette owners could be so douchy lmao. Love your Z06 btw. The LT1 is actually a damn solid platform to build off of and modify, though!
Haha, my dad got one during his continuous mid life crisis and he drove like crap and destroyed the underbody. My grandpa bought it and fixed it, and let me tell you post mid life crisis corvette people kill it on turns exits etc. Grandpa sure knows how to kick out the back on a ramp
I remember seeing the new bodystyle corvette in 1984. I thought that was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. I was like every other teenage american boy. The corvette was the american fantasy car. Congratulations on owning one. I enjoyed your video. Thank you. Edited to add: I heard your growing older comment. Getting older isn't fun, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.
I must not be an active-enough car guy then, cuz I didn’t know about a lot of these. I go to Atlanta’s Caffeine and Octane religiously with my Z51 stingray. I added stage 2 winglets, red seat covers and floor matts, and I’m considering getting the rims painted blue to match the car. Might even add silver side skirts if I decide neither the C8 or a cheaper C7 Z06 are worth trading it for. My vette must be considered heresy by these standards.
I drive mine to work. Take it to the track. I mod mine. And I don't go to Cars and Coffee venues because the Corvette owners that go there are mostly like the gang mentioned on the video.
You drove right past my old highschool, Hebron Christian, in this video Absolutely fucking wild to see such a small school from an average suburb on UA-cam randomly. Keep up the videos

This video was almost enough to take out my C2 Corvette from the garage
_Almost_
Please drive that beauty

Love your videos man. Don't die.
Get better soon. 🙂
Lol did it on purpose.
I think he will be fine I mean he isn't driving a viper so he is fine :3
Thanks for the heads up. That's one t -shirt I will not get. I am the cliche. 66 and bought my first Corvette. Always wanted one. Specifically a 59 or 64. But the heavens put a 2012 velocity yellow grand sport right in my sight line and it was love. I just went through two cancer scares in one year, (remission now), so I said why the hell not! (I had my midlife crisis 20 yrs ago.Ha!) I have my income streams. Retired again. No wife or kids. Only one other bill, so hey. Done deal. Happy happy joy joy. Keep up the good work.
I just got home from a 1200 mile trip to pick up my dream car (Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTec)
CPC Productions congrats bro!
@@savagesock3598 thanks!!
Amen brother, I be so tired of corvette owner telling other corvette what they can or cannot do to their corvette.
I guess my midlife crisis started in right after high school
I'm on my 5th Vette, I guess mine started in my late 20's, glad I survived past age 50 ( lol!). What a stupid myth.
Hey man I really fucking love your videos, and don’t worry to much about the rate of uploads goin down, none of us mind, you do what ya gotta do man, good luck
0:40 *PAUSE.* Look at that beauty on the other side of the road.
idiot
TheRealCarlos \ that car has some class
Thx for pointing out that sweet car
A man's love for his car is the strongest thing I have seen. I understand your want for that car and encourage you to follow it. (Mine is the 1966 Ford GT40, and I will be getting a replica soon, as I am 19 and saved enough for it)
Love your vids😀
Can you do a video about the w220 s500 and s55? Would be awsome😊
Your not just some random guy on the internet Na your a awesome random guy on the internet who gave me entertainment and enjoys your work and I hope to see you do big things on your channel.
Bladed is my favorite car UA-camr
And also the only car UA-camr I watch
[E2] PVPBOSSBOY wow congratulations you want a miata?!
I call BS on the waitlist. There are two dealers in Central florida that have 25 Vettes in stock for the 65 year olds that live close by in 55 + communities.

Yes, purists are common
No, they’re not fun
Hahaha, love your rant on modding. I didnt mod my celica "technically", but I did rattle can the whole car in Russian camo. It's your car, do what you want with it. At the end of the day, you pay for it, enjoy it.
Also ,it's super rare if it's an 427 l88 Corvette.
I very heavily modified my truck I put four transmission coolers and a bigger secondary electric fan and I apply rust in certain tactical locations, but the biggest modification are the little air fresheners I buy every once in awhile.
I... Don't know what to say. I know you don't want pity, but I feel so bad. I'll just leave it there. Best of luck to you, and keep going with the quality content.
I laughed all the way through this video. All the clichés. 😂 i’m almost a midlifer, but I love my Corvette!
Bro that pic at 8:53 shocked me.... I hope you'll stay with us as long as possible!
He said it's just pre cancer and with theretment and lifestyle change he has at least 20 more years.
He also said that it might get cured but that isn't 100% it will happen.
Calm down, it's pre-cancer, not electricity!
"stock" is simply a conglomeration of parts that came from the cheapest bidders... with few exceptions, "stock" is a Bad word ...love ur videos bro, thanx!
Well bladed angel litteraly is in his mid-life crisis
That's pretty much exactly the joke he made, good job recognizing it!
What constitutes an old guy in a corvette? I bought my C 5 used about 14 years ago. 50 m.p.h.? Maybe on a sharp turn that my truck could do 25. I’ve had that thing on the far side of 100 on the 95 bypass around Richmond. It has 106,000 miles on it and I love my corvette. I am closer to 65 than 64, I worked 30 years in a max prison as a C.O. If people want to make fun of me and my midlife crisis, so be it. I’m not listening. I’m cruising down the back roads having fun, and the wind noise blocks out any asshole who has an opinion. The one thing about being my age, we don’t care what anyone has to say.
All GM is good at is going into bankrupt 😂 and letting their cars break down but that JD power awards
Luis Ellis lmfaoooo I drive a Chevy and I'm still laughing my ass off 😂😂😂😂
Wish you the best with your health. If you survive long enough you will find your views will change on some things. We used to say that old age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time. At 58,I just bought my first corvette( and its a stick) to try and INDUCE a midlife crisis! Cheers and happy trails!
Yo bladed. Got any hints for that future secret car you mentioned in your bio? P.S. dont die on us. Still need those bi-weekly videos
Hopefully I'll buy it a few years from now, and y'all will just find out when I make a video on it. It's a secret for a reason :)
Otherwise if I go down before then, I'll settle for getting buried in my Z06.
@@BladedAngel I wonder what this secret car is... A pontoon boat with a few motorcycles welded to the bottom so it can drive on land?
I love my c6, they even told me I can skip the waiting list
"My Corvette is better than yours."
I'm a Kia Stinger GT.
@@srijangupta.automobile6320 Cool.
I am picking up my first Corvette on Tuesday. It is a 2001 Torch Red C5 Convertible with an automatic trans. I am 75 so if this is my midlife crisis, I guess I’ll live to be 150! So for all of us old farts getting Corvette’s, ROCK ON👍🤠🇺🇸

best sticker I ever saw was on the back window of a 50's drag car, said "Funded by Social Security"
welp bladed angel is gonna "bladed angel out" before we do. am sad ; (
He said it can be cured.
I have 1/4 inch billet spacers on my front wheels because my big ass j56 Z06 brakes did not clear my aftermarket wheels width of the spokes!! It made absolutely no difference. Plus myfront wheels are half an inch wider than stock and the rears are an inch wider then stock so in doing 255 front and 305 rears. It's just GREAT!!! NO WHEELS STICKING OUT EITHER!
if it has a v8 I see no problem with it
simple as that.
Even if it's a V8 paired to a slushamatic with a special torque converter that switches the stator vane pitch through some solenoid sorcery that you'd only expect from the 60's, feeling like a sort of faux kickdown while shit hemorrhaging its way from economy pitch (jk it still gets shit gas mileage -Oldsmobile) to performance pitch?
Agreed if it has a V8 it's a real ride
My step dad has a supercharged 2000 corvette. Thing is freaking awesome. Also he’s a hick and the thing is covered in mud from dirt track racing.
Lol my grandpa has a corvette and Miata
So that's where the Miata is, Bladed!
I own a Honda Accord and went out of my way on Etsy to buy a Honda Accord shirt and flex it as I'm cruising around and all my friends give me the funniest look like I treat it as if it were a high end Corvette.
I love it.
My hometown has a Corvette dealer
I’ve never seen a Corvette irl driving (and if I saw it stationary it was at that dealer)
Edit: as I am european, Porsches, BMWs, and Maserati’s are way more common sports cars
I'm french, and I see more and more american cars here since a year. Especially Corvettes and Mustangs. I even saw a Hummer and a Dodge Challenger SRT last month, and I live in a small town.
@@Jawslehoff huh, cool, the only American sports cars I see here in the Netherlands are mustangs
Can we all just agree that bladed angel isnt just an angel...he is the car god
Agreed
Dodge Viper:best way to die.
My daily is a stock 93 40th anniversary edition Corvette and have done nothing to it except paint it Black and put red stripes on it, but I had NO idea Vette owners could be so douchy lmao. Love your Z06 btw. The LT1 is actually a damn solid platform to build off of and modify, though!
Do an "every electric car in four words" video please! I would love to see it :)
Haha, my dad got one during his continuous mid life crisis and he drove like crap and destroyed the underbody. My grandpa bought it and fixed it, and let me tell you post mid life crisis corvette people kill it on turns exits etc. Grandpa sure knows how to kick out the back on a ramp
3:21 i got told d same for having installed a childish lavender seat cover on the seats of Subaru BRZ..
I remember seeing the new bodystyle corvette in 1984. I thought that was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. I was like every other teenage american boy. The corvette was the american fantasy car. Congratulations on owning one. I enjoyed your video. Thank you. Edited to add: I heard your growing older comment. Getting older isn't fun, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.
I must not be an active-enough car guy then, cuz I didn’t know about a lot of these. I go to Atlanta’s Caffeine and Octane religiously with my Z51 stingray. I added stage 2 winglets, red seat covers and floor matts, and I’m considering getting the rims painted blue to match the car. Might even add silver side skirts if I decide neither the C8 or a cheaper C7 Z06 are worth trading it for. My vette must be considered heresy by these standards.
I drive mine to work. Take it to the track. I mod mine. And I don't go to Cars and Coffee venues because the Corvette owners that go there are mostly like the gang mentioned on the video.
My favorite 'vette mod was when I pulled the V8 and replaced it with the 2.2L out of my old S-10
😂
Hey man keep making those appointments, I want at least 10 more years of vids with at least 20 being about the Miata lol
Yoooo I didnt know you went to Uni for graphic design as well! Dope!
You drove right past my old highschool, Hebron Christian, in this video Absolutely fucking wild to see such a small school from an average suburb on UA-cam randomly. Keep up the videos
I wonder what those type of owners would say about someone pulling out the engine from a c6 and putting in a 944?
Woner what the purists would think about putting the engine and trans from a 1970 Daytona Challenger (the OG *"BIG WANG GANG"* car) in a modern Chevy Cruze?
