Yes if 2010 is like 2009 I will have a brand new 2001 Vette. Good thing I like it.

I just got the left muffler back on. It rode home in the trunk last night. I think my car got off pretty easy. I feel so bad for Eva, her car sure got the worst of it. I can still hear that sound.





There were about 4 cracks in the rear fascia. I don’t know what a paint and body place can do with that, patch or replace. The exhaust tips will never line up again so the mufflers will need to be replaced. I will take it to the dealer for an alignment just to make sure nothing is out of whack.



White paint chips from Eva’s car inside my exhaust tips…weird.

Yikes! I was sorry I couldn't make it, but after seeing that, I'm glad I missed all the excitement. I'm really glad no one was hurt. sucks that those great cars are damaged,though.

I finally got my car in the shop yesterday. The hold up was the new “Specter Werkes” Rear Fascia / Bumper Cover, it came in from Michigan last Friday.

Amazing how that Vette held up against being rear ended by a big pickup! It could have been much, much worse.
Sorry to see two beautiful Vettes getting damage. Hopefully they can both be repaired to better than new.
And very glad that nobody was hurt.
Me? I would have killed that guy.
