That just shows how well the Corvette is laterally balanced. It didn't even tip over.

Coulda used some of those little wheels under the front bumper that cures scraping though.

Better he ran up the cable than slammed into the utility pole, he wouldn't be standing there if he hit the pole. Must have been on his cell phone.

I think I'm more impressed with how almost perfectly centered he is.

Default Corvette Accident Borders on Bizarre



This is one of those bizarre things you look at and immediately think – what the hell?

The photo, which we discovered in a Corvette Forum thread, shows a C6 that crashed into a pole, as reported in a local Fox News story in Tampa. The report offers very little detail on exactly what happened, and it appears the driver standing next to the police officer is having a hard time explaining as well.

I will say, however, that some Corvette Forum members came up with pretty funny captions for the photo.

My five favorites are on the Corvette Forum homepage.

I suspect that there is really very little damage to the car. Getting it off the wire may add a bit more $ to the problem.

Gotta think I would've reversed - dropped to the ground - & got the hell out of there.
