One Less C7R - A Moment of Silence
Saw this online - Dealership Porter (kid) was taking this C7R to have the windows tinted before the owner picked it up. I feel really bad for the owner. The kid did survive the crash, however, he was hospitalized.

Followup is owner never got the car, dealership claims responsibility and a new c7r is being sourced for the customer.
Discussed yesterday extensively on corvette forums. |

Thanks Glen e for the follow-up - it's good to know that the Dealer is doing the right thing, although I'm still surprised that a Porter was allowed to drive the vehicle - as a former dealer - when "specialty or high-performance" vehicles required to be driven, only the Service Mgr was allowed. Luckily there were no fatalities in this instance. I am sure Dealers across the country will be re-thinking who drives customer vehicles.
