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

There is an even worse Vette here...

And many more nasty ones on the wreckedexotics site, amazing at how many people actually 'live' to tell about it when it comes to the fancier sports cars...

Don't you remember that? It was all over the news, as the guys "personal" police force whisk him away right after the accident before the real police showed up, there was something about his citizenship status and even the cars status as I believe it was supposed to be in Europe or something not legally imported...

I've seen this pic several times but never noticed the head thing. Please tell me that's not an arm I see right above the rocker panel at the rear of the door opening.
