You won't have to worry about paint swirls!
Glad the corpus of you both are not rigored.

If I were you I would contact the local Corvette club and find a shop that does Corvettes and will do them properly. Have them go over the car and see if they think it's a write off. Then take it from there. But get this or another Vette and I am sure you'll get to enjoy Americas sports car. Don't let this set back stop you from enjoying a Corvette. Best of luck with it and keep us post on your progress.

Man, what a sting of bad luck. Glad you and your date are OK, but really sorry to see the car damaged again. Good luck with the insurance companies.

As terrible as it seems, maybe they will total it and you can get another Vette. I hope it works out for you.

Yes, another Vette. But, put old car tires around it, similar to a tug boat...

Glad you and your date are OK! And I hope they total your current Vette.

And, yes, you should be another Vette.
