Craig Roth with his 2022 C8 Corvette

My Ride: Craig Roth

2022 C8 Corvette

“At the age of 14, I saw a Corvette and knew I had to have one”, says Craig Roth, now a serial ‘Vette owner.  By 16, he’d saved enough money to buy a ’72 Corvette, which was the preference for astronauts and Top Gun pilots.  Later, to launch his business, the ‘Vette was sold, but he promised he would buy another.

The proceeds from that Corvette bought Roth a tractor, which blossomed into Sunshine Growers, an eight-location provider of nursery supplies for professional landscapers.

When his two brothers-in-law bought C8 Corvettes, Roth joined them with the 2022 model shown—this one even quicker with the Z51 option (495-horsepower engine), a top speed of 184 mph and 0-to-60 time of 2.9 seconds.

He’s had other cars (a pair of Porsches and a BMW), but the Corvette holds his heart. With the seamless convertible top and high-gloss ceramic coating on the Torch Red finish, this car looks and sounds as fast as it is.
