There is a local dealer here in Cincinnati that had a C6 wrecked during a test drive. The lady who wrecked it wasnt well adapted to a manual shift and accidentally ran the car through the showroom window takng out all the cars inside and coming out the other side. Unbelievable. People need to be screened before taking a test drive.

"Well, it's pretty nice, but I'm not too sure if I like the color or not. I'm gonna go down and drive the new Mustang GT, and I'll get back to you. No, I'm not ready to leave a deposit yet, if someone else is still interested I wouldn't want to cost you a potential sale......."

Here's a brand new Corvette C6 that sustained readily repairable collision damage while on a test drive from a Chevrolet dealership. It has been driven just 86 miles.
HTF could that be considered "readily repairable"???? There isn't one body panel that hasn't sustained major damage. I think this car might only be interesting to someone who wanted a low-miles LS2 engine.

Also, it's interesting that it doesn't appear that the driver's side air bag deployed.

No air bag deployment, 86 miles, no plates but the dealer insignia plate is still there, must have been on a test drive.
