Live and learn. At least he survived.

Sand on pavement is nothing but lots of tiny marbles. Traction near as bad as an oil slick. Hell of a thing to learn the hard way.

First thing I would do is HUG my son....I worry

FUk the car, it's just a machine, a cool machine but not anything even close to my child.

My son drives all my cars and always has, so letting him drive imo is fine. May he never forget and learn a lifelong lesson.




wanna buy a '72 LT-1 w fac A/C?

Just trying to add some levity.....

I guess your son will be covering the insurance shortages if you can find another one to buy.

Wow, quite the schocker.

I can only imagine your son is upset too.
I don't know how I'd feel if that happened to me and my son,
but I have always trusted him to take any of my vehicles whenever
he wanted. Same with my daughter.

Damn.

Nice looking C4!
Is that the second Corvette that your son has totalled?

Ouch. That stings.

He should be sentenced to driving a primered Prius with a cracked windshield, an AM radio, and a window that doesn't go up.

Accidents happen. Sometimes they result in a kid, other times it results in a kid crashing your car.

Glad your son is O.K. but it's time for him to get 5 across the eyes for that

If the car isn't worth salvaging, can you at least get the power plant and drive train to part it out to other buyers or use it in another build?

AND be forced to pay full restitution.

This is a teachable moment for sure.

Sad to see on such a good looking car. Glad your son is okay. Have you heard from your auto insurance company yet?
