Default Was it you?

Sat. night..


Was visiting a few friends in the metroplex area and came around the U turn off of 75 to see a beautiful C6 Z06 (yellow with black wheels) smacked up against the cement wall...sadness. It looked like it got both the front and back of the car, but the driver and pass. were out of the car.



EDIT, just seen the GTG at Bone Daddys...... hope it wasn't a forum member

The only yellow C6 Z06 that I know of is Lady Z. And I doubt it was her or Blue Demon. Glad to hear they were ok though.

Lady Z didn't plan on coming, I asked Gray Fox if they were. She doesn't have black wheels either. Who ever it is they will be very sad for a while, if not, they have tooo much money!

I just remembered the hood was popped up and the FRC were painted black/yellow....was a bit blurry like a smoke or flames.


Glad to hear it wasn't any of the GTG folks
