Far too "PC." Let's adapt the existing lexicon: previously-wrecked cars are SLAMMED.

PS They can be LITTLE SLAMS or GRAND SLAMS.

On the bright side, if this individual was lucky enough to find perhaps one of the only ZHZ Vettes that has never been "damaged" and has never been "abused", perhaps in a few decades it may be quite rare and valuable... Who knows! But that would be a very difficult find based on what I've seen. How's that for a bit more politically correct?
