Corvette's For Breakfast

Post by Pete44ru »

Eight vintage Corvette's were eaten by a sinkhole this AM, in KY's National Corvette Museum.

A restoration opportunity.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

That's a lot of material gone. Gone where? How old is the building? For that much material to disappear takes time and water. Did it only erode in the middle and not the edges? Strange.
On the lighter side, at least it wasn't the Harley museum. 8)

My WAG is that the building was erected over one of the old mine shafts..............

I'm just glad that (apparently) no person got hurt, except for some hurt feelings.

I wonder if they're going to try and recover those cars?

Too bad. I like classic cars, and that would have been a nice place to see.
