Default Ouch.. Someone had a bad day (totaled ZR1?)

Driving down the highway a few weeks ago, and I saw this.

Impacted so hard the brake lights popped out?

The C6 Z cars can get away from one very fast if they're not really careful as evidenced, again, by this.

I wonder if the driver was playing Silly Bugger?

They were removed to get the rear spoiler off. Looks like someone bought those from a salvage yard. No telling when the accident happened over the last several years.

just let the tail lights dangle so the fall off on the highway and smack someone else, that's one real fart smeller.

Based on the back window sticker it looks like the ZR1 in this video, and if the driver is truly 16, I wouldn't doubt it…

I was going to say no because theres no black spoiler on the back, but i bet that's why the taillights are dangling!! (because they wanted to salvage the spoiler)

Ouch! It does look like it was bought at salvage. I wouldn't leave the tail lights like that no matter what though, pretty easy to reinstall.

It could be the car in the video, it wouldn't surprise me.
