I really don't want it back to be very honest. The electrical issues are the most disturbing...seems you never are able to get everything to work right. The right side looks like it was tweaked a bit. Not sure what the trunk floor looks like, but I'm guessing it's messed up. I would venture that the battery was damaged causing a short and the subsequent smoke.

If they total it, I will be looking for another just like it. Been perusing the for sale threads and there are several. Wouldn't mind upgrading to a ZL1, but they may be beyond what I want to pay. It was only a month old to me and I really didn't get to drive it more than 3 or 4 short trips...it rained nearly every day since I brought it home. I bought a bunch of bolt ons for it and some sit in the garage waiting to be installed.
