Default poor C6

i was going to a photoshoot the other day, and while i am driving through a parking garage, guess what I come across, I had to stop and look to believe it. It was stopped on a couple of blocks, with the lug nuts all around the car.

excuse the quality, taken with camera phone:


I feel so bad for the owner.

I'd make them put the wheels back on, then run them over.

I've seen quite a few similar occurences while living in apartments. Sadly, C6s do not have locking lugs on their wheels, which makes stealing them easy to do.

I think the worst one I saw was a Supra Turbo laying on a few pieces of firewood, with the nice shiny rotors digging into the asphalt.
