Comment Re:People dont get the tv they bought (Score 1) 77

Smart TVs are usually cheaper because the content providers subsidize the cost. You can always buy one and never use the built-in streaming functions. My Insignia Fire TV has a "dumb" TV option that bypasses Fire OS and goes straight to a channel and input selector. It also cost $50 less than the same model without the smart features, larger TVs tend to have a higher subsidy as well.

There are only three engines available in the Corvette lineup: LS3-420 HP, LS7-505 HP (ZO6), and LS9-620-630 HP (ZR1). There hasn't been a 6-cylinder offered in any Corvette since the '50s in any market. If you don't believe me, go look up Top Gear on YouTube. ZO6 and ZR1 also use an aluminum monocoque chassis to save weight that's transferred to heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain components.
