Default Crashed Corvettes

Hey, This may be old news but I just ran across it. Although most are c6's there is some c4's.

I know most of us all love to see each others nice vettes.

But you know that you also like to see crashed vettes.

Some of the wrecks must have killed the drivers. Some drivers of the new 5 & 6 's turn off the traction control and create the problem.

This is what happens when a dude driving a Lexus GS 300 is taking a left out of a Dunkin Donuts and not paying attention to me in the left turning hand lane stoped with the horn blowing. This guy accellorated right into my car with me blowing the horn and everything. He caused over $7,000 in damage to my car and lied to his insurance agency to avoid being surcharged. Its alright though because I got my car completely repainted and striped out of the deal. So all in all i really cant complain even if i only got to drive it for a couple weeks before this happened.

This is just what I did not want to see while I'm missing my Vette while it is in the shop.
I can't even stand bugs on my windshield...

did you see the one C5 where he brought it to a body shop to have a couple scratches taken out and got a call that a worker took the car and was out joy riding and flipped it 5 times on the highway. tell me that isnt your worst nightmare everytime you drop your vette off for servicing or body work

Wrecked Exotics:

Owner dropped car off at body shop to have some scratches removed. Got a call from the police department later that day. An employee took it out for a ride and flipped it 3 times on the highway.

Your broad assumption could not be more wrong. While I can only speak for myself, I'm sure I'm not the only one who fails to understand the appeal of such websites and threads like this. I know what wrecked cars look like and so have no curiosity toward seeing more, especially cars that I like such as Corvettes. Much more importantly, add the possibility of the human suffering that may have accompanied these events and I'm further repelled, not drawn, toward these displays.

Read the caption of this one on page 2. This has to be the funniest I've ever seen.

Actually these were instructive in the number of
accidents that left the passenger/driver fairly well
off with that compartment relatively protected. Makes
me feel better about the car.
