Default new vettes...(pic)

I saw some new vettes going through Providence yesterday on 195 while I was driving my rig. I can only suspect that he dropped some off at Paul Masse Chevy. I tried my best to take a decent pic but it was the best that I could do. I could have sworn the yellow one was a Z06. I don't unerstand with the vette being chevrolet's top end model why do they still ship them on an open car carrier?? Destination charge can't be that much more or a difference or would it?

Because it's easier and costs less. The Vette is just another vehicle to GM bean counters. If it gets damaged in shipment, let the dealer fix it.They haven't figured out why Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, etc. are killing them in sales.
