HOLY CRAP,those pictuires are hard to look at.If you had not posted the story and just the pics I would have bet that there was no way of surviving that kind of impact. Glad that you not only survived but did so with minimal injuries. Thank you for sharing with us.

Wow you have Angels watching over you because that car is so smashed, you are lucky to escape with your life!! Most drivers don't survive such a collision.
I agree, get a reputable attorney and let him go to work for you.
All you that drink and drive...stop! Your days are numbered.

That is a terrible thing to happen to you. Just glad you are ok. I am amazed that the car can look like that and you can come out with minor injuries. That is a testiment to the build quality of these cars. I think your number wasn't up yet, either.

So sorry to see this, just wishing you the best for quick healing. Hope that SOB has insurance, get what you can to replace your car. Lucky for him the cops had already been alerted and you couldn't get out quick enough. Having more time the thought came across my mind of dragging his a** out of the car, throw him over the embankment and see if he knows how to fly. Hey, let us know and see once you decided on another car. Take care bro.

I was hit by a drunk that totalled my Dad's car when I was 16.
C5 is a safe car to be in if you have a wreck, those frame rails protect for real.

I agree, if I just saw the pics, I would bet money you weren't around anymore! Double spooky since your car was my car's twin. Glad you are OK.
I was rear-ended twice in my last 'Vette. 1st was a drunk driver, second was a cell phone nincompoop. The second one killed the car. When my wife came to the scene and saw the mangled car, she said 'you're Corvette days are over!". After I explained that the car gave itself up to protect the passengers, she agreed and I'm still a happy 'Vette owner.
These cars are well designed and you definitely benefited. I wouldn't have wanted to experience that myself though.
She was drunk, you'll get made right, you can almost be guaranteed that. Good luck!
