ok... i might, ....... MIGHT.. understand a tiny bit more if someone screwed around with a dead and dying 84/85 vette.. but WHO in this world has so little taste that they would butcher a '96???????!!!!!!!!

P.S. In no way would I ever condone or understand anyone who butchers ANY corvette, of ANY year. Anybody who butchers a Corvette should be kneecapped.

Thank you.

I don`t think you get a salvage title for a minor accident. The way that thing looks, it should have been issued a "Non Salvageable " title

I wonder if the fumes from the exhaust burning the plastic rear bumper gave him that idea.... oh wait, that makes no sense.

I don't care for the way it looks either, but then to me hash marks on a vette looks like crap, stock vettes look like the lady down the street, and people that bad mouth someone elses work, (good or bad), remind me of people I would not hang with. I am also sure that at least half of your mom's said, If you can't say something nice, then shut the hell up.
Of course that is just my thoughts on this car, and this thread.
