Man seriously, who in his right mind lets a 21 year old who probably only has had a licence for 2,5 years tops and no experience whatsoever drive a 505 HP car.
Maybe it needs a Valet key like the ZR-1 had. It's just too much car for someone who has bever driven a fast car.

I don't know what the insurance company will do w/ the car and I don't think it's rebuildable, the while windshield/roof has collapsed. The engine/trans & suspension + interior parts would be nice though

TT thanks for the link. I think drivers like this should pay for their mistakes.

Lack of accountability is a major part of whats wrong in society today.
