Exclamation Ouch!!
A Corvette crashed into a popular Dallas eatery on Friday.

The incident happened approximately at or before 11 a.m. at 3906 Lemmon Avenue in Dallas.

The out-of-control sports car came to a stop in a patio eating area fronting the La Madeleine restaurant.

An employee of the restaurant said the vehicle slammed into the building but that he didn't think anyone was badly injured.

He could not provide further details.

It was not clear what caused the crash or if any charges would be filed.

I can just see at the Hertz counter when he picked it up:

"Sir, do you want the optional insurance?"

"Yeah, I'm going to need that with the kind of driving I'm planning on doing."

Not sure, I bought a slew of them (Camaro SS, 67 BOSS, Vett etc.) a while back.

The vette is a:
1 Badd Ride 2005 Corvette C6 (1baddride.com)

I cant find an image of "this" particular one on the net.
