Default Corvette on Craigslist

Looking around in my area for Corvettes, and came across this one on Craigslist...

http://austin.craigslist.org/car/399423718.html

I'm speechless!

That's one 'special' car. I wonder why GM didn't think to rip one of the main guages out and prop it up on the console?

So this is what happens when you leave a Dirt modified and a Corvette alone in a dark garage unsupervised. The children always suffer.

LOL, yeah everytime I look at it I just crack up. The factory gauge just hanging there... oh man...
