Your gunna call bullshit??? You wanna call DeFelice Chevrolet in Pt. Pleasant NJ and ask them about the 08 Z??? I'm sorry I was too worried about the getting out of the car and calling for assistance to stop and make it a god damn kodak moment. The only pictures that were taken of the car were the ones taken by the fire marshall, of the Ocean County Fire Marshalls. Believe what you want, cause frankly I don't care, we have recieved compensation for the damaged vehicle, being an 09 Z06.
