    Rare Corvettes eaten by sinkhole at Corvette Museum

    Sinkhole Swallows Eight Rare Vettes at Corvette Museum

    Todd, they may need your detailing skills when they get them back!

    How crazy is this? You can see because of the security tape the Corvettes being swallowed up by the sinkhole. It comes out of nowhere! For those of you who are Vette fans, I would imagine this is torture...

    Thankfully no human was hurt... Can`t say no "one" because as we know, cars are people too... Here`s a GIF of it...

    Real hit to that museum. A couple of those cars were on loan from GM. Oddly enough, as of last night they were saying that the building`s (the dome) exterior foundation walls were stable. Probably some Mopar guys behind it.
    A society willing to trade liberty for temporary security deserves neither and will lose both

    Does the museum own any of these cars or are they all on loan from GM and private collectors ? I bet somewhere there is a insurance agent pulling his hair out. :-(

    That footage is absolutely surreal.

    Yes! You would think it would be Western Kentucky engineering department`s time to shine. They should probably send their best drone operator (or at least call in the experts in the CIA)
