Poor vettes. Lost 8 classics due to a sinkhole under the museum.

Eight vintage Corvettes swallowed by 40-foot sinkhole inside National Corvette Museum | The Verge

I read about that this morning. Damn. Why couldn't the sinkhole open under the Creationist museum, not the Corvette museum.

Can't be that lucky.

I wonder if they will close down the museum and have to move it. If it's not finished it could take more of the museum with it.

Just saw this on my FB feed, crazy this happened and the cars lost.

By less than a minute, but at least it was in the proper forum.

If you say so. However, I beg to differ. The article is about a sinkhole at a musuem that just so happens to house vehicles. It wasn't an article about a particular vehicle. If it was about lets say the new C7 Z06 then I would agree. But whatever helps you sleep at night

Haboob · 02-12-2014, 01:27 PM

It's only in the news, and a thread, because it's involving Corvettes...

But to each his own. You're wrong though.

Haboob · 02-12-2014, 01:28 PM

I'm just sad it didn't destroy all of the C7's and schematics to build them, because this logically isn't the place to house such things, but I can dream.
