I don't think we need to even go here.....
Crashing is an inherent part of driving vehicles and some are worse than others. While it is fascinating in a sick kind of way (wait for the nascar crash!!), grotesque fascination, I don't want to skew all our imaginations that driving this fantastic car will/may/or could result in the images presented here. Kind of like showing jet airplane, or train crashes that jinx us against any mode of transportation.
Let's veer away from this sort of thread and keep it between the lines.
Shirt happens whenever we choose to move our bodies at any speed in machines we have created.....rail, space shuttle, cars, trucks, boats, skateboards, bobsleds, buses, planes, choppers, parachutes, bungee cords, ...heck...time travel...ha...
So, drop the crash threads and pics here. Caution is good but paranoia is not healthy for any of us.

I personally think that this is a realization of what can happen to any one of us. We drive a Corvette and it is not the safest car on the road. When speed and unsafe driving happens there is a higher chance for a deadly result.
This is why we all must practice safe driving. The images that have been posted are things that really happen. I have seen a whole bunch of photos that are very disturbing and many of them do include Corvette accidents.
We have been censored to think this will not happen to me. Deadly auto accidents happen on average of 16,934 per day…. That’s something to really think about… Drive responsibly….

The only thing demonstrated by these pix's is a good way to have a bad dream. These photographs don't impress anyone.

I to have seen this one before! Every time I have seen it it makes me wonder,,,How do you ram into the back of a stopped truck trailer on the side of the road in broad day light,,,at high speed no less!! At least death was instantaneous,,no suffering!! My guess is alcohol,cell phone (some form of distraction,,,,or maybe suicide. You never know!!

Probably just set back on there by the tow company, it probably winged off early in the crash... *edit beat to the punch...

Agree. I had to take a driver instruction course after a few tickets when I was 18. I saw much worse carnage and that was the point. Hopefully it has an impact on you and you remember what can happen if you do something you should not.

I guess it is our choice whether or not to click here. I, like most, do have a bit of a morbid curiosity but after awhile it just isn't healthy any more.
