Life is too short to miss out on stuff. I would hope most people have more self confidence and not care about what people think about their choices in life. It's not like the Supra does not have a stigma. lol.

I have always liked and owned Corvettes. I priced a C8 pretty much like your build. I am also considering a Vert? There is definitely a C8 in my future. Just not now. I am waiting for the production QC and assembly to get a little better. And also for the hype to calm down. I love Porsche too...

Most dealers do not follow the manufacturers recommendations for charging batteries of cars in inventory. Dealers are notorious for killing new car batteries. Cars sit for weeks and months on lots waiting to be sold. In the mean time the new batteries discharge and get damaged permanently...

So roughly $7800 US dollars at current exchange rates. About: $1400 USD for labor. $6200 USD for parts.

The BMW or Bite My Wallet side of the family is probably not helping keep cost reasonable. lol.

I love that part of the country. The area where the Dragon is has tons of fun roads. I take every new car there. Definitely worth the trip. I am in Chicago also. There are some fun roads close to Chicago. Search for fun roads near Starved Rock and in WI. Here are 2 fun ones I can think of off...

It's all good. Something for everyone.

Who is renting these out? How much?

I think that was a possibility with other instances years ago. That and floor mats. That's why all floor mats have those clips now.

I still don't understand how or why the car would jerk forward even in manual mode unless your foot was on both the gas pedal and brake pedal?

Great you have a actual dash cam video. Cars can be fixed or replaced. Important thing is no one was hurt. Keep us posted.

You have a dash cam recording of the entire incident? Make copies and don't erase anything. I would NOT drive the car anymore. Park it. The last thing you want to do is drive it and have it happen again and injure someone. Contact the dealer right away. Document everything. Use email so you have...

He's going to need a donor object in front of him to activate his braking. I would not mess with it if it really happened like he said. The dealer will tell him to not drive it and tow it in if he tells them what he posted here. Claims of unintended acceleration are not new and bad press for car...

I am not saying it's your fault. Possible driver / software error or not, you need to bring it in to get checked asap. It might be a software glitch or something. They might even tell you to not drive it in and to have it towed.

Did you definitely have both feet on the brake pedal while the car was still trying to accelerate? OR were you possibly moving faster then you thought and braking suddenly? Maybe what you felt was the ABS brakes pulsing/pumping?

You pressed on the brake pedal with BOTH feet? Are you saying your car kept trying to accelerate even though you pressed hard on the brake pedal? As in another case of unintended acceleration? Toyota and other car companies have had complaints about this before. If this truly happened it would...

Insurance is regulated by State so not the same in all States. I think some States have mandatory windshield coverage without a deductible? States like IL don't have that. Comprehensive or collision would cover the windshield depending on how it was damaged. And the insured would have to pay...

Going to replace it with anything in the mean time?

CA is a decent State for consumer laws. I think States like MI, IL. CO are among the worst. You usually have to sign a non-disclosure too. Good to hear everything worked out. You taking a break from the Supra or getting back on the wagon? You probably can come out ahead if you decide to...
