The inscrutable yet hilarious duo of Regular Car Reviews (RCR) have been giving us some incredible stuff over the past two years. 90 videos and thousands of miles later, we’ve gotten to learn and experience so much more about a 1980 Dodge Aspen, 1990 Chevy Suburban, or 2009 Smart Fourtwo than we would’ve cared to know–and we’re better for it.

Recently, the guys were invited by Carlisle Events in Pennsylvania (their home state) to come and report on the Corvettes at Carlisle event that took place on a rainy Saturday, the 23rd of August, 2014. The men came prepared with their usual equipment–handheld camcorders, clipboards, driver’s licenses, and more–yet felt it wise to leave the steadycam behind because, as the narrator explains, “It’s not a good idea to go walking around an auto show with something that looks like a sledgehammer.”

Much like the time when the team ventured to the New York International Auto Show, the experiences at the Carlisle event followed a similar vein of detached observer, curiously watching over the goings-on without strong feelings one way or the other. Our story guide waxes philosophic on the zeitgeist of Corvettes and the caliber of people it brings together.

A vendor, pissed about a buzzing lightbulb that has yet to be fixed; a married couple, the husband explaining the finer points of a C1’s body contours as his wife “Okay”-s her way through the flurry of information. All the while, the chorus of a V8 orchestra lit up in burbling, sharp stabs of sound, “toads croaking in a background of a camp[site.]”

Nevertheless, we are left with the impression that the day bore sweet fruit for the RCR crew: “No matter what you think of Corvettes themselves, or the kind of culture they cultivate, it’s hard not to respect the kind of dedication that goes into Corvette ownership,” says the narrator. “[Corvette owners] understand that a car isn’t just a car. It can be a part of your family. It can be a part of your life. It can be a part of your identity.”
