Sorry to hear about the vette, I live in Ottawa and did the same thing 6 weeks ago. Lost it in the rain cleared over a median and took out the marker sign at the end. My total was $ 15000 at a GM dealer.
When I went to pick up the car last week *&^$(*&(&* jerks didn't match the paint on the hood or the bumpers. After looooosing it they had to bring in a paint specialist from Dupont to make sure the paint was done right. I'm supposed to get it back wednesday, ya heard that for the last 3 weeks.

The first day I had mine it was raining (San Diego, go figure! It was also the last time it rained!!!). Anyway, I'd heard about the ASR so I took it to a parking lot and thought I'd learn how to spin the sucker. With ASR on, I almost couldn't do it. ASR off, yeeeehaawwww.

I leave ASR on, just in case I get crazy.

Cheers,
