Wow poor car. And to make matters worse it had to be one of the rare "speedway white" one.

If it is not totalled, it has to be pretty close to the threshhold. Glad the passengers were OK.

Sad, but totaled IMHO. Glad the occupants were ok.

I guess the good news for the rest of us is that as the number of C5's reduce, the rarer the remainder become.

I'm sure you know a lot more about the white colors on the car since I'm guessing 2 of them are in your garage.

No kidding. That really stinks!!

Speaking of... I saw a speedway white 01Z06 today. Dude had it all jacked on with way too much busy stuff going on. Funky badges everywhere and all sorts of stuff. It did have some serious power though and tons of money in it. Sweet HRE wheels.

No kidding. Each to their own but just because you can doesn't mean you should. The only SW Z06 i've seen so far here in Houston was one at a local meet one night but boy was that thing sweet. MR interior,CCW 505's and a couple of perfomance mods under the hood. The guy was selling it for 27k, the car's still for sale
