Note to self - no more Micky G detailing ...

does the owner think parting it out will make him money ? and will it ? should we all do that ?

how many people that buy a $ 50,000+ car want to part it out to make money vs just getting the insurance check - too much time on his hands ? Doesn't seem to add up ?

Actually, it was caused by excessive speeds that made the spoiler rip the rear right off, mangling the rear.
Just imagine the Carfax on that beauty...

How many used C7 parts do you think are on the market right now? My bet is on "not many." Few enough to inflate the selling price compared to new from GM.

And just before the accident you could hear Clem yell, "Hey ya'll, watch this!"

As a general rule, whenever you hear anyone in Texas say, "Hey ya'll, watch this!" it's time to find something to hide behind.

We have enough wrecked C7's now to build one out of the wrecks. Who's up for a pick-a-part scramble?
