Default Pics of wrecked Z-06

Here is the sad story as I understand this. Yesterday I was at my cousins salvage yard, and I about fell over seeing this car like this , anyway in March a local Doctor here was hit by a COAL TRUCK that ran a red light at a busy intersection, he had injury to his left hand, I think, but he is ok as far as I know. My girlfriend drove by right after it happened on her usual way home from work, she was on her cell calling me...wow, this shows the protection of the frame, , I could not believe how much they paid for the total either, but Im not a salvage yard owner either.

Oh no

So does this mean my Z16 just became a little more rare? Seriously though, I hate to see this happen to any nice car and especially someones "baby".

This was my second thought.

My first was "hope he was okay"

Most people seem to have this false perception that Z16's are rare. What they don't realize is that they made more Z16's in Lemans Blue than any other color combination in 2004. A regular old 2004 Millenium
Yellow Z06 is about 3 times more "rare" than a Z16. There's nothing rare or limited about a car that they made over 2000 of.

I don't mean to take anything away from the saddness of the accident, but I get a chuckle everytime I hear someone refer to the Z16 as rare or limited.
