Why am I a magnet for accidents??? Just today, some young girl in her Camaro backed up right into me!!! madmad She didn't check if anyone was behind her, and she was totally oblivious to my horn. Needless to say I tore a strip off of her.

But on the bright side (if there is such a thing in this senario) is that she is the daughter of the owner of the local GM dealership. So he reassured me that it will be fixed just like new. But in the meantime, I won't have my vette for a couple of weeks during the short driving season.

damn man, that really sucks, i feel ur pain. my gf has been rear ended 4 times in her chrysler sebring conv., 2 of the cars got totaled, one being a jeep...and her car is totally fine...go figure...

Dad Owns the GM dealership? Hmmmm...... the inconvenience of being without your car ought to justify a few goodies out of the GM Accessories Catalog! Not to mention top priority at the Dealerships Body Shop! And...... maybe a deep discount on that new C-6 you been thinking about. Come to think of it....her first born male child wouldnt be bad too......a no show job at say $100,000 a year.......Hmmmm......

Haha...well I am thinking about selling the vette so I think ill try to make a sales pitch to him to pay top dollars for it. Its a 98 coupe with a few goodies installed. Most recently, some 19" and 20" Evo chromies which i bought less than a year ago. If I can get around $30-34K, id be happy.

They are giving me a courtesy vehicle so maybe one of his SSR I see them use for test driving.

Thats why I dont drvie my vette if there are other cars on the road! In my dreams!!

Sorry about your car and I am glad he is taking care of the repairs........is she a hottie

Evil-Twin

a 98 and you want 30 to 34???? I hate to tell you but your car is worth less than 20K. Mods add liitle to the wholesale value.. and in some cases lower the value...And why arnt you being provided with a rental.. She hit you right??

Stock Man

My thoughts exactly!!!! Good for a date too!!!!

I believe they are

Fauch

I know I can get atleast $30K for it. I live where people don't even flinch when they pay a quarter million for a new doublewide trailer.

I am getting a courtesy car, but who knows what ill get. With my luck it'll be a Cavalier or an Aztek!

As for the girl who hit me...shes just a short fat little spoilled b!tch. Not even worth getting a BJ out of it. lol

Maybe it's time to accept your reality and just buy a 'Back Up' Vette

I share the pain. I went through this with a minivan i bought in april. Hit 5X and currently has a cracked rear bumper!! Was perfect when i got it !!

oyealiz

i'm guessing alot of this difference is because he's in canada.

and if daddy is the GM guy, i'd demand a vette loaner.

Don't count on it...

I picked up my C5 a few weeks ago at a dealership here in SoCal. They let my dad and I come take a look at it before it was officially inventoried and was sitting in their warehouse.

The salesman that escorted us to the showroom was pretty cool, and he told us a few stories. One thing that made me chuckle is this:

He said, "I've been working here for a few years now and I have free reign to drive pretty much any car I want on this lot. There are only two exceptions: SSR's and Corvettes." He basically said that they're selling the SSR's for a few thousand over MSRP, so not just anyone gets to drive them. He said their dealership won't even let someone test drive one of their Corvettes unless they 'come with money on the table.'

And that's the way it should be.
