Unhappy First owner-owned C7 crash?

Looks like a crash of a customer-owned C7 :(

The Reddit posting with the photo also had the caption: "He didn't make it very long."

Note for new C7 owners: when passing large trucks be aware that if the driver is looking at your new car in his mirror as you come up to his trailer he may drift into your lane! I've had this happen twice in the 6 days I've had the car. In both cases I was driven onto the shoulder to avoid getting hit, on one narrow shoulder I was in the dirt!

Another note not new to vette owners is they every yahoo that thinks he has a hot car will try to get you to race with you. Try to avoid this's when in heavy traffic in LA!

There's that yellow one... "The damage to the front of the car is extensive. The hood, entire front fascia and much of the driver's side fender are gone."





And here is another one... fresh off the press!

One rule I learned at a Pursuit Driving School about 20 years ago.....ANY DUMBASS can enter a curve TOO FAST........a real driver ALWAYS enters it TOO SLOW, and accelerates at the apex............can't blame the car for bad driving!
