My Z06 died yestereday -- R.I.P.
The headline says it all. I didn't find out until this morning. I had taken her in to a local shop to have some work done and yesterday morning, apparently on a test drive, the guy wrecked her.

I got a call this morning telling me about it, and have spent most of the day dealing with the insurance companies, the police, going to the impound yard where it was taken to see it and take pictures. She's really a gonner. I'd be amazed if she can be saved. She's a mess.
Well, such is life. I'll salvage what I can and start looking for a replacement. Anyone know of a good deal on an '03 or '04 Z06 in good shape with low mileage, let me know.

Hi Steve -
That is AWFUL.
I wonder what kind of throttle malfunction that could have been.....
Here is to a resolution that will put you in an even better Vette.

Sorry for your loss, it's a dirty shame and that is one lame excuse. Hope the insurance company does right by you!!!

The driver Bruce Kindberg, who owns Bruce's Speed Shop on Route 46 will be hard pressed to find customers after this.

LOL, I like how the throttle malfunction cause the car to swerve over the double yellow into the parked cars....
Sorry to hear about the car man, definitely dont let the owner get away with this...
