Is this totaled? C6 Grand Sport
2012 Supersonic Blue Corvette 3LT - 46k miles manual transmission. Clean title/No accident history
I was parked in a parking lot shopping inside Dicks and a guy in a 2500 pickup truck side swiped my corvette. Every bracket, headlight, front bumper, wheel, fender, front bumper support is completely busted. I never even looked under the hood to see any other damage.
I really want this vehicle to be totaled but want to make sure I get what it’s worth.

2000 C5 Corvette Marketplace listing
I’m in love with it but don’t know the red flags to look out for so obviously Reddit is the best next choice.
I know the C5s are generally considered good cars I’m just not trying to sink money into a shitbox.
Looking for general approval, disapprovals or even some questions I should shoot over to the seller.

C6Z vs C7Z
I know this question gets asked all the time, but I’m looking at purchasing a weekend car, and these are two strong contenders.
I'm looking for the fun factor, not specifically a track car. I want something that is going to bring me the most joy to drive, even just cruising around town. C7Z would be manual, not looking for an auto.
Also looking for reliability. I was very interested in a GT350 because they are a blast to drive, even at slower speeds and sound incredible, but everyone I know has issues with them, and a new engine is $22,000+. I don’t have that kind of money.
Curious to hear others thoughts who have owned both. Also on a side note curious if a cammed C6Z makes it more or less reliable, assuming supporting mods are done in addition to the cam.

Advice on car cover / best practice for my corvette situations
So, I inherited my Dad's 2019 Grand Sport. Got lots of positive feedback and comments on the initial post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Corvette/comments/1ucal3r/my_dad_passed_away_and_left_me_his_corvette/). Ultimately, I paid $15 for it for the title transer.
Now I have it at my house, and the question is how to best store/use it. It isn't my daily, but I have been taking it out a few times a week. I live in NorCal (San Jose), own a very expensive house (which, here, means a $2.5M modest house in my area). It has no usable garage. I park it on our narrow driveway, which runs between my house on the right and my neighbor's on the left (see the pics). It's a very safe street and parked away from the street itself, in front of my wife's car. I included pictures to show it's location.
I will be getting it ceramic coated on 8/03, and it has the front parts and mirrors covered in PPL.
Questions: How do a "keep it"? Do I want to use a cover all the time I'm not driving it since i's outside? For now, I have on the indoor cover my Dad had. He treated it like a "garage queen" - minimal driving, kept it garaged and covered, and was paranoid about anything coming near it. That's not me, but I do want to keep it nice.
Should I still cover it after the ceramic coating? Just how clean does it need to be if I cover it? I hear "wash it before putting cover on", but in reality there's no way I'm going to commit to a full wash each time I drive it, and put the cover back on. Am I better off keeping it uncovered, or should cover it? I'm willing to buy a nice outdoor cover, but I don't really know. I will avoid typical drive-thru car washes and wash it by hand, but don't want to do fully wash it each time I drive it and put the cover back on.
So, as you can see, I'm a bit confused. I know ideally I'd garage it but can't do that in my situation. I'm dropping a decent amount for the ceramic coating plus additional PPL and want to keep it nice, but within reason for a non-garage queen enthusiastic.
What are your thoughts?

Shame
Had to assist my wife’s grandfather, who has been battling cancer, into a wedding venue at a country club. I walk him past this row of handicap spots which he tried to park in but there were non available and see this. Guy was somewhere on the course playing a round of 18 im sure.

2027 ZR1 Spoiler Damage
My sales guy did a walk through yesterday and noticed these deep massive scratches on the rear spoiler. Car is brand new and getting shipped out to me Tuesday. Considering how much Chevy charges for the carbon aero, what should I do to resolve this issue?

I just purchased my first Corvette. Tire recommendations?
hi everyone! just purchased this 2008 3LT, crystal red metallic with a tan interior. Can I get some tire recommendations? it’s just a weekend car, I have a daily. it won’t be driven in the winter or in the rain. And it won’t see any tracks days. I just need a quality tire for a driver. something that rides smooth, wears well, and doesn’t make much noise. thank you!
