If you watch the popular YouTube channel Vehicle Virgins, than you may have seen Parker and his girlfriend (at the time) review a C7 Corvette Z06 last year. The video was titled " You shouldn't buy a Z06" and it covers the five things he hates about the car.

The same car featured in that video ended up later smashing into a tree and seriously injuring the driver and a 17 -year-old passenger. Both suffered broken bones and the driver, Jefferey Gong , is facing one felony count of reckless driving according to MLive.
