What should have been the first of many weekends enjoying ownership of a new 2020 Corvette suddenly came to an abrupt end for “June Bug” and his new Stingray on Saturday. A black sedan apparently ran a traffic light at the intersection of North Tamiami Trail and Imperial drive in Sarasota, Florida, and was subsequently T-boned by the new Corvette.

No word yet on why this dark red C6 Corvette coupe crashed into an office building in Simi Valley, California on Wednesday night.
Fortunately, the crash did only “very minor” damage to the building and the Corvette, which rolled over shrubbery and hit the building, slightly damaging at least one of the large windows.

A recent study by QuoteWizard Insurance found that the Chevrolet Corvette is one of the least accident-prone vehicles on the road.

This mid-1970s Corvette coupe took a cue from the old slogan for Timex watches: It took a licking and kept on ticking.
The white Corvette had taken a ride on an industrial elevator so it could be stored on the second floor of a historic building in Rantoul, Ill., where a mechanic’s garage had once operated for decades.
