Was saaapeeening!

I really hope that wasn't something someone did intentional to that car. Definitely not my flavor. Doing that to a Corvette is just not right!
Very sad... Let's just all have a moment of silence for the passing of yet another Vette...

When the Benz driver wears his inside shoulders to the cords, can he flip the tires around on the rims and get another 5000 miles? LOL
