161 MPH Detour in a Y2K Vette

GS4-2-Z06 · Jun 25, 2001

A friend of a friend snapped these shots of a C5 coupe after it tried to harvest some Indiana corn at 161 MPH. No one was injured in the crash which I think is a great testament to the C5's strength and safety.

As far as the Vette goes, I don't think it will buff out.

Those were some lucky people!

That one will probably show up at Carlisle this year..a little bit here...a little bit there!

He is lucky he didn't try to harvest an Indiana Oak. It like a total job to me, I wonder.

Frank, your comment reminds me of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail's, "It's only a flesh wound". LOL

Enough to feed all the pigs in Iowa. Strange looking combine!
