Default Spotted Destroyed Z06-Drive Safely

Bummer. Local dealer has a totaled C7 at its shop. I assume totaled with a wheel torn clean off. Drive by and spotted it.
Reminder to drive safely everybody. With Memorial Day, summer is officially here and roads are busy.
A salute to our vets. Thank you.

Looks like it hit a Michigan pothole.

Likely the same guy that asked what mode to use to show off with. A new wheel and some duct tape and she'll be back on the road...

In before someone says it'll buff out.

Be safe!

To tell you the truth, it looks like someone drove into the parked Vette and ripped off the right front side.

Nevertheless, be careful out there, especially on a "holiday" weekend.


for the observance.

Let's just say that the DOT crews up here are going to be REALLY bust this spring and summer, some pretty nasty streets around here.

ouch! Took a good shot to tear the suspension clean a apart like that. That's the wheel and control arm laying there . Any other car would have rolled.

Difficult to tell how it happened. Someone may have ran into the driver. Can't assume based on no information.

Thats a lot of force to destroy the wheel like that. Be safe and always respect the power that these cars have.
