Looks like it's one of those C5 Grand Sports....but seriously, it might have had to do with the wet roads...always sad when a Vette gets cruched.

Glad everyone is OK. That was my dream car in THAT color 10 years ago...still wouldn't mind having one in silver today. Silver compliments the lines of a C5 like no other color. I hope everything works out OK for the owner.

Anybody know what wheels are on that C5? I like them.

Too bad about the crash but looks like only the car was hurt.

Whenever I see something like that I want to have a look at the condition of the tire treads. Looks like the rain must have just stopped which as we all know is one of the worst times for traction.

I hope no one was hurt.

I think I know that car. The owner works at a restaurant just up the street from where I live. I will need to go by there tomorrow and see if it is in the parking lot.

Sad to see a Vette sitting in the ditch. Hope the driver and any passenger is OK and that the car was not damaged too severely.

The wheels are standard for '97, '98, '99. They're called wagon wheels.

I say we blame the girl. She was either driving or playing with his stick shift.
