Agreed.

That is a very unfortunate disaster.

The musuem moved the '83 to a different location becuase it is priceless.

I called and offered my garage but they would not take me up on the offer.

With that said, the list goes on of how many cars the monster Corvette ZR-1 eats for breakfeast, lunch & dinner. European sissy cars like the M3 are included in the vettes diet.

The M3 is a "sissy car" ???

Really unfortunate. Hopefully the damaged cars can be salvaged.

IMHO: The Corvette is an icon.
Hate to see any of them subjected to this kind of "Car Show".

Many a Man, while growing up, had dreams about driving down the highway of life, on a beautiful summer’s day, with a gorgeous babe beside him in a Corvette.
I know I did (occasionally).

With that being said...I will repeat that:
The Corvette is an icon...
The fiberglass version of "The Field of Dreams":
If you have one, she will come.

Yeah. Don't you know it? This is America. Bigger always is better. More horsepower + big V8 always = better car. Them 'Vettes will smoke that there M3. M3 = girly man car. Vette = big 'Merican Man Car. USA #1.

We all need more huge cookie cutter McMansions filled with 60" TVs - all with Vettes and the biggest SUVs Detroit can make in every driveway. All with 22" Chrome wheels if at all possible. No taste & no class required. Just make everything as big as possible.

Sounds like you have an issue that goes far deeper than just your hate for American cars. Theres no car more American than the Corvette IMO. Maybe me being a U.S Soldier gets me touchy on topics involving "Merica", especially when iconic cars like these get destroyed.
