how do you drive a flashy head-turning c8 on a daily basis?
i dont know how anyone can do it. the c8 turns all heads, is very noticeable. seems very difficult to drive as a daily with massive attention

Wear sunglasses and a hat. No one notices.

Well, in Scottsdale, the C8 isn't that 'flashy' when you've got Lambo's, Mclaren's, Ferrari's seemingly driving by all the time, so it doesn't turn as many heads down here compared to back in Canada...

Nor is it in DFW or Austin. I see significantly more of the above vehicles daily than a C8 (or any Corvette). In Des Moines, I can see what the OP is saying

Yeah, can relate to that. Take a drive up or down Pima Rd North of the 101 (where I lived for 10 years) at any time of the day and see if anyone notices you in your C8. Even when I drove my Bentley CGT on Pima, any time I pulled up to the light either another Bentley pulled next to me, or something for more exotic was likely.

Just my opinion but when the C8 first came out and there were far and few in between, it was a big deal and drew attention when one was spotted. But now that there are much more common, I don't know if "massive attention" is really the case. Don't get me wrong, I still admire each and every one but not like a rare exotic car that it isn't. It is still a Chevy but a heck of a nice one!

there are so many of them here in atlanta, when you pull into caffiene and octane you will see 20, you pass C8's daily on the road to work, no one says a word anymore at the gas station, but all that doesnt matter, its an awesome car, beautiful car

Very few people even pay attention to them anymore. They are quite common these days. Sam
