You do realize that all $1M when to charity, right? So I think it's worth a thumbs up.

Perhaps you took it the wrong way..... the thumbs up refers to the fact that the first 5th gen to ever be produced will probably be auctioned at BJ, just as the ZR1 was, and the Shelby GT500 and Z06 were before them (BJ does tend to have the very first of any significant car roll through auction, and they've done so especially the last 4 or 5 years. While the 5th gen may not be in the "class" of a ZR1, it's significance is enough to justifiy the very first production car be auctioned out for charity)
