The one with the rear section chopped off will take alot more than a wash, wax and detail treatment! 
Its depressing just by looking at the photo, this guy should get 50 years in prison! Not for destroying some property but for being stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car while drinking!

but it depends on his previous driving record and how good his lawyer is. He will do some time for sure and pay some pretty mind blowing fines for a long time.

Unfortunately Alcohol is a very power drug and those whom can't control it,well this happens. Just cars and yes, the driver should be punished for it. However, the driver was very lucky no one was injured or killed,Including the driver.
One example of why I gave up drinking 18 years ago!

You are so right about the alcohol problems we face today. Unreal and a blessing these people did not kill anyone except for those gorgeous ZR1's,

Back when I was an Officer (In Socal) we used to come across some serious traffic collisions. When we had stuff like this we used to look under the cars to make sure no one was under one the cars. The drunk drivers usually did not get hurt and many times by the time we would get to the scene, everyone would be pointing the direction that the driver was last seen running.

I am sorry people, but it is my opinion that anyone caught behind the wheel DUI, should be charged with a fellony, period!!! the next time it may be my family or myself. I have zero tollerance for this crap, have fun, party hardy, just don't drive!!!

In regards to whats going to hapen to those wrecked Corvettes? I am guessing that the liability carrier of the responsible person is primary. If there is a problem there like maybe a Policy Limits situation and the dealership has to proceed under their own policy, I am guessing its the Floor Plan and those cars will be destroyed. I am also guessing that no parts will be sold for salvage as GM does not want any chance of a liability situation down the road. Just my 2 cents worth...

Those cars are leased by the dealer to sit in their lot anyway. They were gone after a few days!
