Default Somebody Please Save this Corvette
Ok I know its against the forum rules to put down someone's car but what was this person thinking? Let me duct tape the roof on, fix that rigidity problem by placing a bungee cord over the roof panel, and make sure I bury the front bumper in my garage door while I'm at it. That pile of trash in the passenger side will make sure I have it all to myself.

IBTL.. If you really wanted to sell your car... wouldn't you at least take the bag of garbage out of the seat before you take the picture??

Hmmm. It says he's a dealer, but his detailing job is consistent with taking the car cover off (partially). And username "silksatinblouses"

The cover appears to be so wedged between the garage door and the bumper that it couldn't be removed all the way. I'd love to see this dealership. They do great advertising and automobile detailing.

Give the guy a break, he did notice his mistake with the trash and covered it with a floormat, that makes it hardly noticable.
