Note to dealers:  Don't park your most expensive models right beside the street...

That's going to be a lot of $$$.

Perhaps Cord or AS can chime in with how insurance works in this instance. :)

I'm thinking it's the same as if the driver hit a parked car. His insurance pays for everything. No deductible for the dealership.

Somewhat related but I followed a Zo6 home today from Toronto (briskly I might add) and was shocked the guy would take it out this time of year. Z06s are a death wish on cold tires!

I don't see how that's possible.  The traction control/stability was among the best I had tried for a sports car.

Just spend sometime searching on youtube and you'd be surprised how many idiots crash their Vettes.

And yes, many have commented that the traction control on the Z06/Zr1 is among the best in the world (brought up again in this months C&D lightning lap).
