Photoshop prank. Your title seemed a little silly too. I guess it's still the month of April Fools'.

Good one and thanks for the effort! =D

THAT is the funniest reply ("Change the T to a B on the license plate") I've ever read on this forum! Well, maybe not so funny for the C8's owner.

Kind of sad to be laughing at someone else's misfortune.

This looks like the fire was related to an accident when filling up gas at the gas station.

Driver is fine. Car had full coverage. Owner gets to drive 2 new Corvette C8’s in one life time. Struggling to find the victim here…….but you go boy. LOL

So you've read the owner's insurance policy documents? He had a $0 deductible?

And you think we won't be paying sky-high insurance premiums for the foreseeable future given this expensive claim?

Yes he had an $0 deductible. And you’re wrong. Claims, even full losses are NOT a direct cause of a premium increase. You should really LIGHTen up and stop trying to enFLAME the situation we can all see through your SMOKE show.

Some people wake up angry, decide to stay angry and then just jump on the internet to stay angry. LOL

Seriously though you should INFER NO ill will from me….
