Torched Corvette in the Ukraine - Click above for a gallery of images


Judging by these photographs, someone in the Ukraine didn't like this Extra-Crispy Chevrolet Corvette. And although the melted plastic lump is being been blamed on "class warfare," it could have been an insurance scam, a tryst gone bad, or some hardcore Grand Theft Auto: Streets of Kiev payback - who knows.

The precedents point to any number of reasons, like the Viper that was flambéed (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/09/dodge-viper-torched-in-russia-for-being-branded-with-the-devils/) perhaps because of The Mark, or the 14 foreign cars that were torched in Moscow (http://englishrussia.com/?p=1952) for no reason that anyone could guess. But the result here is still a shame: a charbroiled C6. Tip your hat to a fallen comrade, and check out the gallery of photos below.

You could try to get the wheels. Only heat-treated once extra. :)
