I seen this right after it happened. I live less than 5 minutes away. I was walking my dog and seen the vette. at first the driver was trying to say the the throttle was stuck and the car would not turn off.

I read about a similar situation recently on the corvette forum, but they wouldn't total that one because it was too new, I wonder how this one will go.

The funny thing is vettes have been getting black boxes installed on them for years, so they will be able to tell exactly what happened. I think they are even installing the boxes on lower model cars too now. . .

At least it was worth it....

I'd **** away a crappy Valet job anyday to have a fun night in a new Z06

Dealer Insurance will probably cover it
