Default Idiot Impala test driver hits TWO C7 Stingrays at a dealership!

Sorry if this is a but I check these forums regularly and saw nothing about this. Driver was off the hook without fines or charges. Makes ya wanna cry.

For those lovely Vettes...



EDIT: Crap, this is the same story as the Texas State Fair crash that already happened this week. Musta been confused by a different angle picture... the initial reports from the State Fair had been that someone drove the Stingrays irresponsibly... turns out it was this dude in the Impala. Mods, feel free to delete this thread. Sorry!!!

Have seen it posted several times here in the forum, but yes, the driver was an idiot for hitting the cars.

Hmm... wasn't aware that this was the one from the State Fair. You sure this is the same story? It would be better if it was! That would mean fewer damaged Stingrays.

As for the duplicate-triplicate, best I can do is watch this forum and do searches, which I did.

EDIT: You were right. I edited the original post 'splainin my confusion. Thanks and sorry.
