Angels must have been watching out for all of them. It is amazing that no one got hurt.

I just can't get over how the Corvette didn't disintegrate and the 25 year old old Toyota was literally cut in half.

Got THAT right, some guys got all the luck, and they sure as hell needed it.....

MY question is.....did anyone learn a damn thing??

Douchebag Corvette drivers!.....uh...wait a minute.....

Imagine if the kid was in the back seat like he was supposed to be??? They'd have a hard time picking up all the pieces and the a-hole would be up for murder!!

Attempted manslaughter? Isn't that like "attempted falling down the stairs accidentally"?

Douchebaggery of the driver aside... looks like the Vette held together VERY well. Even with a hit hard enough to rip another car in half, I don't see any significant damage or intrusion into the cabin of the C5... other than what looks like the moron's 200lb subwoofer box blasting the passenger seat.







EDIT: The level of douchebaggery is ridiculous with this clown... before you even take the street racing into account.

Wonder if the 2nd driver will be charged if they figure out who it is ? He would be here in NC most likely.

They definitely better be glad no one died in the other car.

It's a US car with LPE mods on it, I bought it used from a dealership here that bought it at an auction in Kansas, it's a long sorted story that just keeps getting better and better.

If anyone knows this guy ask him if he is parting his car out. I need some parts and the windshield wipers looked good in the pics.

I'd probably have wrecked LMAO if I'd ever seen that tag while driving.
