It hurts to see what sure looked like a beautiful and well cared for ZR1 bite the dust. On the other hand, she took a direct hit from a 70 MPH missile and protected you well enough to allow you to walk away. That says something. Iâ€™m not sure what but Iâ€™m impressed regardless. Iâ€™m glad to hear you are well enough to be able to talk about it.

Thats one heck of a hit from a heavy vehicle, youre lucky you can even type!
Sorry to hear about your misfortune hopefully youll be back in the saddle soon.

Glad you were able to walk away from such a severe collision. Looks like your Z put it all on the line to protect you. I hope you have no lingering physical issues to deal with . But a real pity to see such a fine car meet its end this terrible way.

Holly cow bob! Seeing those pictures makes me afraid to take mine out for a drive for fear of something like that happening. Especially since I have Leland west. Very very very stricked. And I just renewed my policy with them. Not sure that was such a good Idea.

Glad to hear you are relativly o.k. considering. i can think of a lot of vehicles i'd rather get hit by than a navigator, big heavy tank. also great to see your jumping right back on the Zee bandwagon

Wow

..... sorry to hear about the accident, but glad your OK! Too bad you can't rescue the engine and the wheels. Looks like it absorbed the energy of the impact, consider yourself lucky. I'm impressed.

Wasn't there someone selling a 40K mile 94' somewhere in our Chicago area here recently? If I find it I'll post it.
Found it, it's a lightly modded 93', 49K miles, Red/Red, $24K, it's listed on the registry.
Hope you get back inthe saddle soon!
Regards
Hans

HOLY CRAPPERS BOB !!!

Sure GLAD you will be OK --- Good about the PUNK getting caught -- serves him right.

I can only imagine what went through the idiots head as he smacked your vette.

No doubt he was (and his insurance company) not happy to learn that it was not a standard C4 vette he took out but one of the KOTH models.

Both he and his insurance company will no doubt get a quick lesson on the extra value of the Vette and what a ZR-1 is.

Good luck with the healing up and glad to see you will still be a pilot of the beast there brother

Really awful. I hate these stories, but glad you made it through. I had someone blow right through a red light on me today. Be safe out there.
