It’s worth exactly what someone will pay for it and not a penny more.

Corvette C6, worth $25,000 to $35,000 beFORE the accident. Now, $750 in scrap.

Not sure if it still stands true but Corvettes used to have the highest incidence of single person fatalities of any car in the US. That is, only the driver and only the car he’s (and its usually a he) driving are involved.

Sort of a situation that plays out like this; 1) I’m gonna open 'er up and see what she’ll do and 2) Oh noooo (or other non-family-friendly remarks) and finally 3) Bam!

Some JB weld on that front wheel and a little rubbing compound and it will be as good as new.

Sounds like this guy deserves to lose his wheels.
