I am tired of seeing all these one-sided posts where the "pole" always wins!

Where are all the pics of where the pole gets its a$$ kicked?

Hopefully driver is ok and hopefully driving solo, it looks like the passenger side took the impact.

Hurts to see a fine car in that kind of shape. I'd say that is one totalled C5.

Stop the Abuse!!!

I think I'm going to create a Vette Rescue.

So if any of you guys see these cars being abused by their owners, let me know. I will gladly take them off their hands and give them a good home.
