Default corvette crashes

Don't know if anyone else has posted about this particular website. I just learned about it today. It's called "wreckedexotics.com." They show wrecked cars of various types. One area is devoted to corvette crashes. The majority of the cars were c-6, some c-5s, and earlier. As far as I could tell, the majority of the drivers came out okay. The interesting ones were the ones that were "just three days old" or just "3 HOURS old." Also, the ages of some of the drivers...like 17 and the car was 3 hours old! For those of you who think they made too many c-4s for them to be collectible, I wonder how many have made this website? This is probably just a smattering of cars that have been wrecked, but if you look at the laws of probability...more cars + more bad drivers = fewer good, clean vettes to go around!
