If the car was bought by someone, it would have either had a temporary tag or real plate in that location, right?

They could have put the paper tag in the rear window to protect it from the elements and left the dealer novelty plate on the bumper.
Different topic:
I am still not buying that this car was rear ended by anyone other than the large cylindrical object that trashed the tail end of this car. Notice that the rear plastic bumper cover has been split at the location of the impact with the pole, but the reast of it is basically intact and for the most part, undamaged.
I think it is amazingly funny that someone came onto this forum and posted that they trashed their new Camaro and blamed it on unlicensed and uninsured motorists with no supporting evidence and this entire thread became 11 pages of bashing teen drivers and dooming the culprits family to poverty, prison and exposure to immense quantities of Defication
. I also think it funny that the few of us who took the time to look at what was before us and started to raise the
flag was immediately nominated for the darwin award.
The facts associated with this are as follows:
1. Camaro was wrecked
2. Camaro was totalled
3. Camaro was black.
4. Camaro was on a two lane single direction street, nose pointed in the correct direction, sorta. Other direction was on the other side of the median.
The allegations:
1. 20 year old driver with no license and no insurance rear ended the car (No pictures of the offending vehicle. If I am in an accident and can take pictures, I am snapping everything I can to support any insurance claims or litigation.)
2. The driver was operating a Ford Escape, or now was it an Explorer (I am not much for a Ford, but I do know that an Escape and an Explorer is not shaped like a telephone pole.) ( I also know that although the pole could have been 20 years old, the State of Louisina does not license nor do they require poles to insure themselves for standing on the roadside.)
The result:
Eleven pages of teen driver hate because someone did not have the intestinal foritude to come on here and tell the truth and say he made a mistake and lost his car as a result. We probably could have all learned more from the true side of what caused this and educated other drivers on what happened to make sure it did not repeat. Instead, we bash our fellow man because he is young and because someone made a claim, and in my opinion, that claim is completely unfounded and that youthful driver does not exist, except maybe for the one drving the now dead Camaro (:(R.I.P:().
A lack of responsibility is a broad based issue from all ages, not just youth. A lack of experience is a broad based issue from all ages, not just youth.
Bashing an entire group of people based on their age, religion, race, background, income level, hair style (getting my mullet back tomorrow), or any other reason you may want to is also completely irresponsible and shows a lack of experience in the truth about life and other people.
Bashing parents because of the mistakes their children make is also unfounded. How many of you went out and did exactly opposite of anything your parents ever told you not to do. Ever heard the expression " You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink!" Many parents do try hard, but kids, of all generations, think they know more and understand better than the years of wisdom and experience our parents tried to provide us with. I was one of them and now I am 46.
I have no sympathy for the driver of this car. It is my hope that he does not get another one to destroy. Had he told the truth to us all and been upfront with the accident, I would definitely not feel that way.
I do feel sorrow for the loss of such a beautiful car. Such is life, and death.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming!
The new Camaro rocks!
