Thread: "Sinkhole" Corvettes

Several weeks ago, the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY lost a few expensive Corvettes to a sinkhole that imploded underneath the museum. Here are some before and after photos:


1962 Tuxedo Black Corvette



1984 PPG Pace Car



1992 "1 Millionth" Corvette



1993 ZR-1 Spyder



1993 40th Anniversary Ruby Red



2001 Mallett Hammer Z06



2009 ZR1 Blue Devil




2009 "1.5 Millionth" Corvette

Is that 1984 one the year where they only have like three left?

That place was cool to tour, btw.

I'm trying to find that fact. I don't see it anywhere. I was thinking I read the same thing though, shortly after it happened.

The wife and I toured it a couple years ago. Freaky to think that could have happened while we were there. Thankfully, it happened with no on there. There's way too many caves underneath Kentucky.

My trip to the Corvette factory can legally drink beer.

Wow.

How does this sinkhole shit happen and where do I go to avoid any possibility of being victim to it? #iammoreimportantthancorvettes

From what I know, it's water causing erosion underneath the surface. This makes a big hole. Eventually, the land above it sinks and/or collapses.

There are many caves in Kentucky, so this is a problem. I think Florida had a massive sinkhole recently. It was under someone's house.

Investing money in a car is a sinkhole anyway
