there's a fine line between crazy and courage. I'm not sure where this lands

I’ve used the suction cups for years. Knock on wood, they have yet to fail me.

Yes, not too keen on the cups on the stripes but the 2 suction cup one I bought has the wrong adaptors so my through axel would not work. Had to go 4 suction cup for the weekend.
Ordered the proper adaptors so paint only area moving forward.

Not for prolonged periods, no. See above. Worst case scenario, new vinyl ain't the end of the world but hopefully they are good enough quality one time won't mess them up and appears to not have.

Bravo!

Sea Sucker has been great on the Porsche and a few other platforms..... I was expecting to see a carbon frame and forks though....

The Trek is carbon frame along with the wheels, seat post, integrated stem/bar, just not the fork.
I have not heard of anyone having one fail. In my wife’s Audi it can handle 75 mph with no drama. I kept it under 65 though in the Shelby. I really did not like having to put it on the stripes. They never lost any suction though.

hey man, maybe homie spent his truck money on that sweet sweet heritage edition

i sold my F150 and cobra to fund the new GT so I wouldn't blame him... but if you can drop that on a car finding a beater truck prolly wouldn't be much of a problem.

There’s a guy locally here that drives his C8 year round (yes even in the snow) and he uses a Sea Sucker for his bike and skis with no issues. Good on you for driving that beauty, hopefully you’re enjoying every minute of it!

Bingo. Sold the paid for truck and put that money into the GT500. I got paid $6,000 more than I paid for a 2 year old 40,000 mile truck. So I have some good equity in the MSRP deal car.

It's my daily driver. I got it at the end of July, very end, and I now have just over 3,000 miles on the odometer. She gets driven and yes, it's always a joy to drive it.

This is great. I DD'ed Mustangs for over a decade when I was young and couldn't afford/justify a second car. Sometimes you just go with it and find a way to make it work.
