Yes, He topped his own bid for the good cause and tax write off.

He upped it because he paid one million for the oldest surviving corvette, 1953 #003, and wanted to match that price. Amusingly, he outbid the official corvette museum in BG, Kentucky for the 1953 unit and now gets to go there and have a special presentation of this newest corvette with the museum representatives in ovious attendance. He now possesses the oldest and the newest corvette in existence, until number 2 rolls off the line, lol.

The funny part about that car is as bad *** as it is even with all the carbon fiber pieces to "shave weight" it still comes in heavier than a current z06. Still a sweet little ride though.

think of the sport bikes you could have for $1,000,000.00.

So... what's this "in four years all vehicles have to meet a 35 mpg law"? I'm assuming that's only for passenger/private vehicles.

"CAFE" regulations mean that the companies total average fuel economy (excluding certain vehicles) must equal 35 mpg or they're subject to penalties
