Default Dealer dumps Corvette Off a Lift during oil change!

Hi Honda people. Get a load of this. Some dealer out in CA was changing the oil on some corvette and dumped it off the lift causing significant damage. The pictures and associated thread are a must see for all car owners that get their cars serviced at a dealership.
This guy just wants a replacement car but they want to repair this mess. The frame even look cracked. What do you think? Check it out. I don't know how to post pics here but the toyota guys are talking about it and they have the pictures. Maybe someone can bring those pics here. Thanks.

Here are the links:

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!

not 20 minutes ago, i hear a shriek come from the direction of the moving truck that is taking my stuff back to new york. i go outside, and there's my refrigerator on the ground, on its' side. pretty much fubar'd. turkish moving guy is shouting 'i fix! i fix!' before i even get there. good thing i had the digicam handy.

well, i guess things could be worse, eh?

Windshield is cracked. It isn't just body damage. Dealer is trying to replace all the broken body panels, and the frame is tweaked. Feel for the guy, but you roll the dice you get when you dealer-maintain your car.

It's not just dealerships that drop cars during service. I know of at least 5 cars in my brothers auto service network that have been dropped in the last 8 or so years. It happens more than you think unfortunately...
