[QUOTE=Keith@VetteFinders;1579584584]Earlier this month, a drunk driver crashed into three Corvette Grand Sports sitting on the lot at Tropical Chevrolet in Miami Shores. The driver wasn't seriously injured but we can't say the same about the Grand Sports:

This is the worst part of the story. I am all for executing drunk drivers, they care about nobody but themselves.

Does a salvage title harm resale value?

Why park Vettes back to the street if they had a similar incident 4 years ago?

Use those Sonics or whatever those econo-boxes are called these days just across the drive in the pic...

Granted the drunk is clearly the bonehead here, but why take that risk of it happening again with high $ inventory (sounds like it was SUV's that got clobbered last time in 2007 based on the article)?

Worst part of the story is that the driver was not seriously injured.

Too bad more drunk drivers aren't killed in the accidents they cause and make our world a safer one for everyone else.

Damn that's tragic! Why couldn't the drunk have taken out a few Volts instead? They have to do something to move those P'sOS.

Thankfully he only hit the Vettes and nobody was hurt. from the looks of it he must have been going pretty fast.

The one with the rear section chopped off will take alot more than a wash, wax and detail treatment!

Its depressing just by looking at the photo, this guy should get 50 years in prison! Not for destroying some property but for being stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car while drinking!
