Noticed that this is from here in the Tampa bay area. When I heard about a neighbor's son taking his C6 out when Dad was away, this pictures what I expected to happen. I didn't see it, but heard about it from other neighbors. Kid had a DUI conviction and had lost his license at the time. I probably should have talked to Dad myself, but didn't because of prior friction regarding the kid. Judging from past history, parents probably wouldn't have believed me .

Man! All the hating on us young'ins! First you want to get rid of the stigma of it being a midlife crisis car, then you think we'll wreck all of them!

(Just a joke for most of you.... except for the guy who thinks there should be an age limit of 41....... )

From years of driving a tow truck my experience says get in it, put it in reverse and back up, tow truck is just going to pull it backwards, same damage will occur either way. Back it up, drive it home.
