Those dang, crazy Vette owners!! Speeding all over the place like a race car driver.

Who would have thought a 22 year old would wreck a Vette. What are the odds of that????

well, maybe it just shows how strong a Vette is...that's the second post with a bad crash the driver was at least relatively ok, and it was amazing anyone survived the other crash. But I prefer mine without the additional art work resulting from flying trauma, lol!!

It's not the Driver's fault, he thought it was a Drive Thru.
