Default On the second day of carlisle...

Had a mishap with a utility van. Thank God nothing major like destroying the transmission or engine.





Again, thank God no one was hurt. I have no idea how I didn't damage to any of the tires or wheels.

That's a shame but like you said no one was hurt and the damage can be repaired and from your other post it doesn't sound like you let it ruin your time at the show. Way to go!

That sucks. What a shame , it looks like your going to need a new fender , hood, crate motor, coilovers, wheels , tires, and side pipes.

Ya, I really thought it was going to, but after a few hours at the dealership it was drivable again and I was able to make it back to Carlisle, just in time to make some new friends and have even more fun.

The only regret is that I missed the corvetteforum group photo. I really wanted to be apart of that since I am on here so much.

I think we hit each other's fronts and then the impact spun the corvette's back end into the side of the van.
