He takes his Vette into a body shop to have a bumper installed and painted, then a tech takes it out for a joy ride and flips it! Pics included in the thread above.

damn! that's awful.
side note: If you scroll through the1st page on the thread, I've seen the yellow 'vette around town before. :)

I think the only salvagable parts of that car are the driver's side wiper arm, the passenger side indicator light, at least two rims, the lug nuts, the radio knobs, the driver's window glass and its electric window motor.
Insurance will probably give him the blue book and he can sue the shop for the difference to pay off the loan.
I liked one guy's suggestion:
Wow, I hope you get a new Z out of the deal.

Mate of mine dropped his Ducati 916 in for a service one time......the mechanic high sided it on the test ride after the service was done. Took the bike through a store window.
However, this was a v small local bikers garage and my mate is a 6'4" 300lb bouncer. They kept the bike for 3 months while they repaired everything and loaned him a Fireblade while he waited.
:D

CPT FUnkypants, I can't help it if they don't make it in SuperSize. Don't project your frustration on having to drive a 4 door and pretend its a sports car on me.
-
Funked has an AUTOMATIC!? OMFG! Eeeewwwwwwwww!
-
A terrible end for a superb car. I guess alot of people are tempted if they were in that position.
-
My car isn't as fast as a c5, but thats just another reason I don't let anyone else work on it, much less drive it.
-
(Sorry I would have responded sooner, but someone got this Idea like I need to do work lol))
Yes, 'tis a Automatic. Reasion being is I don't want to go and have knee surgery that I really need to have done. However, the surgen said that I would still have problem's even after the knee repair.
All I say is Arthitis sucks!!!
-
I would make fun of you but I have a bad knee too so I feel your pain. I think you should get the surgery so you can be a man again. :)

Actually I can fit in those for some reason. RX-7, Z3, S2000, no way, but Miata is no problem.
