It sucks for that guy to be (possibly) the first to damage one! (other than the ones damaged in pre production on purpose)

He was tryin to reproduce the Cobalt commercial except didnt realize the Silverado weighs about 2x more. Sucks for the owner, but hopefully everyone was alright.

If you want C6 wheels. I am selling my "OEM high polished"(not plain jane silver) C6 wheels in about 4-6 weeks when my iForged wheels arrive.

How much are you willing to spend? PM or e-mail me. If we can work something out....I won't post them for sale.

that is insane, thats why our insurance rates are all jacked up. As a buddy of mine said " any gold chain wearing cheesy newly rich guy can buy one of these corvettes and jack it up for all of us. According to insurance companies the corvette must be one of the worst handling cars ever build because it is the #1 car they see that gets into single car accidents, that means they hit no other car just totaled it out. crazy stuff
