Sinkhole destroys Corvettes at Corvette Museum

[Croc]

This is just really sad and quite stunning that it could take place without warning.

I wonder if they can repair the damage to the cars?

Some of the cars can be restored and saved, I suspect one or two are beyond reconstruction

Dang the luck! Sinkholes are migrating north!

Man. I'd read about this earlier but hadn't seen a picture yet. Horrifying stuff. Glad no one was hurt.

Were these cars condemned to Hell?

No that is just for Kia drivers! :troll:

I was lucky enough to spend a day there several years ago (with a friend who had museum delivery of his ZO6). The best part may have been during the pre-drive info when the factory rep said that in the break-in period, we should not drive over 135mph.

 

A very cool place run by people who love cars.

That looks more like a movie set than reality! Are you sure its not on the filming of the next James Bond Film? Crazy stuff

I always knew that Corvettes were heavy, but this is ridiculous....
