What a shame. It almost makes you want to cry looking at what has happened to that once beautiful car.

That car is so wrecked that the only thing it would be good for is a very few parts here and there.

I thought all the C7 guys stuck together, not one person has asked who owned it and about their health.

hopefully he/she wasn't hurt.

Lame post.

Since the car is is shown in a national auto news source, there is no way to determine who owned the car and what their condition is. From the looks of the damage, I guess we all chose to presume he/she is OK with non life threatening injuries (if any) and sore as hell.

Have you reached out to the author/publisher to ask?

You're funny Jack!

Some of these research hounds know the last time a C7 seat was farted on so knowing about a wreck this severe should be an easy find.

Me, no I'm too busy.
