I know that doesn't sound like a lot to many of us, but for Mario, that's quite a lot. He usually keeps his cars about 2-3 year. I asked him if he had any criticisms of the Corvette and he won't say anything bad about any car. He said that the manufacturers all do a fantastic job. He also went on to say that the Corvette is well worth it's price vs. the exotics.
His tax bracket is WAY beyond mine. He gets $20K for a personal appearance.

Question. How do you know Mario Andretti purchased his Corvettes? Possibly given to him by General Motors? That would be a great endorsment for the Corvette. If he did pay for his Corvettes it's a greater endorsment. Hans Stuck, He's being paid by BMW and I'm sure lots of incentives.
