Unhappy Semi + ZL1 = Wreck

I call my local body shop, where my Camaro is getting some upgrades, and the owner says, "I bet you would love to see my buddies new ZL1, it was just unloaded off the trailer." I didn't hesitate to jump in, and told him i'd be there after work. As soon as I pull up, I see the "Z" sitting inside the garage, backed in, with the hood up... I'm thinking they just got done smoking the tires, and want to cool down the engine. But, the closer I got, the more I could tell that it wasn't new. The owner of the shop, said that his buddy wasn't paying attention to the semi in front of him, and when he turned his head for only a moment, WHAMMM... Straight into the trailer of the semi. After all is fixed.. the owner of the car wants to add the Carbon Fiber Hood Insert (an extra $4,200).

As long as everyone was ok, the ZL1 can be fixed

Not gonna lie as soon as I saw "Semi + ZL1" I was a little hesitant to click because it sounded a lot worse than it seems. Hopefully everyone was ok and no one was injured.

Ouch! I have the twin of this ZL1 and I would be sick if I that happened to my car. I'm sure it will be good as new very soon.

I've honestly had about 5 inbox's stating that they want it... V6 owners.
