Won't take too long to fix that tattered front-end, what with: Plenty of C6 ZO6 parts available.
A friend of mine retired and went to work part-time at a GM dealership. Sent me this. 500+ horsepower corvette, brand new, only a few hundred miles on the clock. The owners 16 year old son wanted to drive it.
Whoops!
-Jack-up the steering wheel and slide another one under it.
What's the progress-report on the 16 year old's tattered rear-end?

Haven't heard! But I have to admit, you can only blame the kid so much. It's not like he stole the car. Someone gave him the keys...
Worst part is, the owner cheaped out on his insurance and did not include his son as named insured on his insurance policy. Reason being, there was an increase on his premium for owning a high performance car with a 16 year old driver in the home, so he signed a waiver saying the kid wasn't gonna drive it to keep his premiums down! (In this state and some others, they are allowed to write and price your policy for all the drivers in the household even if they aren't listed on the policy, as I understand it) So, there's a good chance this won't be covered by insurance. Ouch!
EDIT: I see I failed to mention that. But yes, the owner LET his son drive the car. This wasn't a case of a 'joyride gone bad' or anything.

Six of one and a half-dozen of another, I suppose.
Wouldn't have mattered to me. And for doing such a deed:
I still would have placed the blame squarely on any of my Kids;
and have given them a most definite...and decent-dosage...of:

Whoops!
How did they have a brand new 2007-2009? That's the only years Atomic Orange was produced.

Darwinism.
Maybe these people shouldn't owns such a powerful car? The dad didn't go with him? He let him drive it, but didn't put him on the insurance? Nuts.
My crystal ball shows this as the first of many crashes for this vehicle. Some people just ain't bright.
My friend picked up his new Mercedes AMG something or other (I can't keep those cars strait) with like 30 miles on the odometer and handed me the keys and wanted me to drive it to see what I thought. I said "that's a privilege I do not want". I'll see how it handles from the passenger seat.
