Default PICS: C6 Corvette Torched in the Ukraine

I just posted 12 photos on Corvetteblogger.com that show the aftermath of a C6 Corvette that was burned while parked on a residential street somewhere in the Ukraine.

The story is the Corvette was burned because of class warfare: "People can’t stand those rich punks riding their hundred thousand dollar cars when around everything looks ruined and school teacher’s salary is $100/month."

Well I think I'd personally prefer a keying to this. It probably got burned for being so dirty. I know some of you will roll over when you see all that dirt.

Do we face the same kind of resentment during our recession with so many people out of work?I hope not but think we will!

Guess I won't be driving my C6 to Ukraine any time soon. They probably got pissed off because they couldn't hotwire it first.

You think class warfare is bad in the Ukraine?

Just wait until the Libs get finished here in the US

Yeah, but c'mon! Politics don't have anything to do with Corvettes! Right?

Too big. I bet that's just the brake booster with some strange shadowing

Also, it's in the right place for it - just forward of the firewall
