Bummer man but at least you drove that car some damn good miles. Shake it off and start looking for a C5Z!

Just heard from State Farm. They say it can be repaired. They didn't give me a dollar amount on the repairs yet, so we will see if it agrees with the Vette shop estimate.

I also hit a racoon two weeks ago. Took out the front spoiler and that's it. Guess I got off lucky.

Final update:

It's a confirmed kill. The car is toast. On the up side, the insurance company (after taking out my $1000 deductible) is cutting me a check for exact same amount I paid for the car 3 years and 30,000 miles ago. Can't beat that.

Now on to the next C5....

Beautiful to look at, fun to drive and ridiculously fragile.
