NEWS: Wife plows into husband's new Chevy Corvette Z06... in her Hyundai Genesis

Genesis Owners forum member zedbuyers was feeling that love as he and his wife left a Massachusetts Chevy dealer with a spanking new Cyber Gray Metallic Z06. Zedbuyers was driving from the dealer in the rain with his wife following behind in the couples' nine-month-old Genesis Sedan when disaster struck.
As traffic slowed from 60 mph to 30 mph in the exit lane, zedbuyers applied the brakes, but his wife evidently didn't. The Genesis slammed into the hours-old Z06, thrusting the $80,000 supercar into the vehicle in front of it. Oddly, the Genesis took the brunt of the blow, and a local Hyundai dealer estimated the damage at $16,000, including nearly $2,000 for the HID headlamps alone. The Z06 damage was $10,000, including $2,000 for a carbon fiber bumper.
Luckily, nobody was seriously injured in the accident, but we're sure the owner is smarting none the less. We're guessing the insurance company is not going to react kindly to a combined $26,000 in damages only hours after the purchase of what is likely a very expensive vehicle to insure in the first place. Peruse the gallery below to check out the carnage, and click on the link below for zedbuyers' damage estimates.

Genesis is a bad *** car, like 300 or so HP rwd sedan that is comforatble as hell.
Well now lesson number one: Obvious wife shouldn't drive (any woman really)
lesson number 2: wifes turn to take it in the ***.
lesson 3: don't buy a Z06 in mass a two ***** for fear of being on the road with her.
lesson 4: find their insurance and buy it, they will love cars of lesser value after this.
