C8 Corvette Slams Into Lexus SUV: Video

Cars like the C8 Corvette are supposed to be fun. With a mid-engine layout and loads of power, the eighth-generation Corvette certainly has a lot going for it. That said, the way in which some folks out there choose to enjoy their ride can be, well, dumb, as is the case in the following video.
The video was recently posted to social media, and opens on a city street during the day. The video was shot from the passenger seat of another car, and shows a C8 Corvette Stingray covered in Amplify Orange Tintcoat paint speeding down the right side of the street. For some reason, a passenger is seen rolling around on the rear engine cover, hanging off the rear spoiler as the driver leans back to talk.
Unfortunately, because he’s leaning back and looking at the passenger, the driver behind the wheel of this C8 Corvette Convertible doesn’t see a Lexus LX that’s backing out into the middle of the street. Exactly what’s going on with the Lexus is also a bit of a head-scratcher, as it’s uncertain why the SUV is basically perpendicular to the other lanes, but either way, it’s in a prime position to collect the C8 Corvette.
Predictably, the C8 Corvette collides with the rear bumper of the Lexus SUV and immediately starts to smoke. It appears as though one of the front heat exchangers was punctured in the collision, while the rear bumper of the white Lexus SUV is a little dented.
As the camera moves forward, we see the damage on the Vette. The front bumper is hanging off, one of the headlights is crooked, and a fountain of coolant is dripping down onto the street. The driver, however, doesn’t seem terribly concerned, smiling and surveying the wreckage.
It’s unclear how much work it’ll take to get the C8 Corvette back on the road. That said, you can’t fix stupid:

DO IT FOR THE ‘GRAM!!!! Hopefully the driver was ok and him and his passenger both went and ate some Tide pods later.
The human species has regressed exponentially in the 21st century.
-Buy a new C8 Corvette.
-Instruct one of your imbecile friends to sit on the rear of the vehicle.

-Smash your new C8 into an innocent motorist, causing $$$ thousands in damage.
Be proud. 🙁
This kid didn’t pay for this C8, his parents did and were foolish enough to entrust him with the keys!
AMEDICA ..has been vedyy veddy goot to me!
Nice skirts
Morons like this guy give all Vette drivers a bad rap.
Vette owners don’t need any help getting a bad rap, they’re pretty good doing it on their own.
Just remember. 100 is the AVERAGE IQ.
Those are not U.S. license plates, so I guess other countries have wealthy idiots, too.
If you’re so rich, why ain’t you smart?
Actually, it looks like its a nee car and that is a dealer drive out tag…
Insurance pool and actuaries, we all directly pay for this stupidity and bad actors with increased auto insurance premiums. God help them.
If the driver would put some pants on that would be a good start to operating that Corvette.
There are lots of people that love and respect the corvette, then there are a few rich spoiled brats or idiots out there that just don’t care.
The human race is doomed!
Looks like rich college brats in other countries are stupid and irresponsible too.
Almost looks like temporary paper plates? Maybe just picked it up?
Oops.
Yep, one look at the “children” playing with their new toys and you can surmise that they’ve both got the intelligence level of lint, and to prove their lack of concern for their very expensive toy, they’re showing off, having a whole lot of fun!
This isn’t any way to enjoy your new C8, but it’s obvious that the [email protected] driver doesn’t have to “work hard for his money” and that someone, other than himself will be paying to have his childish act of stupidity put back together again.
This isn’t the first time a Corvette (any Corvette) has been mistreated and abused and it certainly won’t be the last either!
What really pisses me off is that some of us have to patiently wait for years of saving up to buy our Corvette’s, while others are “gifted” a new one! I know, I know, no one ever said “life was fair”…and no truer words were ever spoken. Day-Am!
I hope he doesn’t get his Corvette replaced before I get mine which has been on order now for 17 months. He should now have to wait until all of the other Corvettes ordered up to and including the date he crashed it get there’s. I am afraid that wealth will give him access to a new one – which would probably be his expectation . GM! Take notice
idiocracy!
Stupid people win stupid prizes.
The only thing that money would not spare is being stupid. You are born stupid, you die stupid, no matter how rich you are.
