Mecum Auction drivers foot slipped.
  • 32 points SubRedTed

    I’d say a $60-80k Jeep smashed into a $100-150k Corvette that slid into a $75-95k Pontiac Firebird that slid into a $150-$250k Corvette ZR1. But likely caused about $150-$250k in damage.

    If you’re wondering why these cost so much to fix, I got a quote for a paint correction on the front 1/3 of my car and it was almost $20k from a shop that sends cars to Mecum… ouch

    Fortunately I didn’t move forward with it as the car was only worth about $35k at the time. I just vinyl wrapped it

    Sounds like they were gonna buy a new car instead of just painting his

    It’s not the first time. How does this keep happening? This looks like insurance fraud.
