BTW, yes, I use Zaino, but I won't include a pic....

While i dont have any pics to share. (a good thing) I do see this thread as something positive and interesting. Theres a few members that have been through an accident with their Vette. While the experience itself is bad, its good to be able to share with others that have been through the same thing. Afterall this is just a car in the end, the fact that your here today to talk about it and share photos is all that matters.
