Poor 'Vette
Apparently, size does count, at least when it comes to automobile collisions.

Don't know if the car's totaled, but, brown stain on driver's seat will mean it needs to be replaced for sure.

Hard to tell but it looks like the front wheel of the Toyota is ripped off (or maybe it's just hidden down in the Vette's engine compartment.) Must have been a nasty collision if so...

This is a case where "size does matter".

I wonder which car was at fault? It looks like the PU may have turned too sharply as the Vette was sitting at the stop sign. That happened to me once in my old white C4 . An elderly lady siad "she did not see me" at the stop sign. I hope she stopped driving after that.

I am continually amazed at how little damage has to be done to a Corvette for the insurance companies to declare the vehicle a total loss!!!!! It doesn`t make sense!
