Now there is a guy who could afford a Ferrari, lambo, etc and yet he got a Corvette. I bet he did a good job of avoiding concussions....

Just another athlete getting away with it. If that was you or I there would be a pile of tickets. Ask lynch, he even hit a women, no problem .

Best,

p.s. that's the only other black Z06/Z07 I've seen with grey calipers. The man has good taste!

Amen - cold cup tires. Can't wait to put my sottozeros on this weekend.

Glad he is ok, that nobody was hurt. These cars are true beasts, deserve respect and your full attention always. I know I play in mine from time to time, why else buy a car like this, just looks like it got away from him.

I guess no matter how much money you have you need to be able to handle it.

Looks like Lynch has a White one from the from of the grille.

Another case of making a fast exit on cold tires and not backing off soon enough and overcorrecting.

I was going to post this yesterday, since it is in my neck of the woods and the team I root for! What an idiot, even worse it was in a residential area not like it was on a highway or anything. Just goes to show money can buy cars but not driver ability!

The owners manual states mandatory use of a flat bed only for towing. I would venture to think that addition damage will happen during the tow.

That old school front hook wrecker rather than a rollback isn't doing it any favors...

You would venture wrong. Look at the picture, the rear tires are lifted as well. Certainly a flat bed would be ideal, but sometimes you have no choice.
