If anyone has been to Bowling Green Kentucky to visit the Corvette plant and National Corvette Museum, you would know there's a bazillion back ass woods roads to do this.

This was just lazy and reckless. Book em' Dano!

Doesn’t GM have a testing grounds track.

It's not official GM, but the NCM has its own track right across the damn street. 😠

I don't think these idiots were on the clock in anyway doing "research". Unless it was to see how long it took to get arrested. 😂

And here they are the top engineers riding to work together:

Ain’t even mad

GM should fire them for using company cars for personal use

Awl, hell kids in a candy store. I have worked in a many of industries that make products that you can't wait to get your hands on. They just happened to get caught. I do hope they hope they are only reprimanded. Nobody hurt and no speed over 65. Good publicity.

I lived in Orion Township in the early 80's about 20 miles from the final assembly plant for the Pontiac Fiero. They were racing them in packs of 3 - 6 @ night up & down the curvy country road that ran between the back of my property & the lake. We were right on the tightest curve & the shoulder was total crap (soft dirt that was lower than the road, creating a lip). Quite a few managed a minor 'off road' excursion + minor damage, but they always got them back on the road & left before the cops could arrive. At least until the night one of the GM clowns rolled one in the dirt, that was pretty much the end of it. Guessing the little excursions weren't officially sanctioned & that guy blew it for everyone.

They should have taken them to Milford (GM proving Grounds). I lived in Pontiac for 24 years.

Wasn't she attending the idiot school of DC at that time? No one hurt, cars are fine. Great cars are fine. Damn if I got caught looking in on a breast implant operation, I wood be a 6 star advisor instead of a Indoor Air Quality inspector. So no infectious air bore germ a titi ous are infected into an open wound. Worsts air bore intrusions of bacteria from the air systems,,, has come from air handlers attending to surgery suites. Having worked on hundreds of these systems,, I did not want to be a victim of, so called Staff Infection. Bacteria lounged by the A/C system. Before any open operation by Ms Ferrio or others, I personally inspected the A/C system and where Ms Ferrio was located. I think the guys did what Mr Crab man wood do with a new trap.

Hopefully their management has a sense of humor.

Somehow I don’t think this will be laughed at or swept under the rug by the bosses.

Maybe in 1970, but not in 2020. 😂

Word on corvette forums is that they weren't "really" authorized to take cars. Lots of protocol to sign cars out and such. So, there's that. 😳

I imagine they are " Seeking Employment Elsewhere" That's the statement the Company I worked for used in these situations.

And don't forget..."we wish them well in their future endeavors"...😂
