ZL1 TO THE GRAVE YARD ! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Saw this 2013 Zl1 with no miles at a local dealership this morning, and was told that GM is sending it to the junk yard to be smashed !!

it was wrecked by a employee at the Port Of Baton Rouge (just delivered from GM), while doing burn outs in the parking lot last Friday and lost control hitting a pole !!, and now he sits in jail. The dealership was going to have it delivered on Monday and was pre-ordered !! They are told it's not for sale for any amount and to be destroyed by a junkyard !!, what a waste...

The body shop says it can be repaired, but GM won't let them.

I guess the factory will have to build another, its job security for Oshowa

find out what junk yard and give them a little incentive.......

That blows but a question.. what would it be doing at a port? They don't arrive by ship. I am guessing you mean a rail employee or the haulers.

This 2012 ZL1 is NOT going to the junk yard to be smashed.

The ZL-1 in Woodbridge, VA had far more worse damage then this and its making a complete recovery and was damaged by a dealership employee. Do what I did and get the VIN # so we can be kept informed of its status so the future owner will know.

Wonder how the conversation with the family went for the dumbass that wrecked it.

Dumbass: "Yeah, uhh honey! I won't be home for dinner tonight."
MrsDumbass: "WTF? I made meatloaf!"
Dumbass: "Well...I sorta already had meatloaf here at work."
MrsDumbass: "What do you mean?"
Dumbass: "I crashed a brand new ZL1 showing off like my namesake, and now I'm in jail."
MrsDumbass: "Ok cool, I invited your brother over anyway..."

Makes you wonder though how often stuff like this happens but nothing goes wrong and they don't get caught.

HDRDTD · 06-13-2012, 05:26 PM

A little Bondo, A little duct tape, and clay bar from Adam's, and it'll be good as new.....

Bad@ssCamaro · 06-13-2012, 05:26 PM

That's gotta suck for the person that was waiting on the delivery of that vehicle. Boy, that is upsetting to say the least.....

My thoughts exactly. Just how new is a new car?
