The saddest ZL1 owner ever

Well this im sure will make everyone pretty sad. Especially those of you that own a ZL1. I went to my dealer today and saw this on their lot. I asked what happened and apperently it was the same one I looked at a week before.

This one was bought brand new and only 26 hrs later and with 96 miles on it, this guy decides to take it up through a mountain road. He came around a blind corner and swerved to miss a cow in the road. He over corrected and slid down the side of a clif backwards. The car is totaled and they servived but a little banged up. Also, the owner was forwarned about a bulliten stating that GM recommends not to drive the car below 30 degrees I think and especially not below 20 degrees because the tired become very hard and need to warm up considerably. Well, lets just say he didnt listen to well.

...... he attempted to avoid a cow....that's a good one....,, no disrespect, but.... perhaps he ran into ignorance operating the car.....another one bites the dust...

Glad everyone is ok.... I want the hood! It looks mint! And you know some yahoo at the dealer will be pulling that before it goes to scrap. I know I would!! (if that were legal of course....)
