From Autoblog, their first look at the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. I highly recommend watching the video, if for nothing else than the sound of the engine. Mmmmmm.

This is like something straight out of Aliens.

Back when I was getting a ton of car magazines, an ad for Skip Barber Driving School caught my eye. Recently, when trying to come up with ways to spend more vacation time before the end of the year, I suddenly remembered Skip Barber. Back when I first heard about them, they were supplied by Dodge, and you could drive anything from a Neon R/T to a Dodge Viper (it looks like they’ve got a wider variety these days, but sadly no Viper, for Viper aficionados out there).

I started to wonder if there was a racing/driving school out there that was supplied by Chevrolet. A quick Google search turned up Bondurant Racing School. Unlike the Skip Barber School, which has locations all around the country (aka places within driving distance) Bondurant is only in Phoenix. On the other hand, Corvette!

I haven’t decided when or even if I’m going to do this (the courses themselves are expensive, to say nothing of other trip expenses), but it would be so cool to do.
