Ever get one of those sinking feelings, like when you know something terribly, horribly wrong has happened in the world? Might be too soon, but we're pretty sure you could ask the folks over at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, what that's like and get a pretty genuine answer. That's because museum staff awoke this morning to a massive sinkhole that decided to say "screw hump day" and swallowed eight Corvettes on display. The cars currently in the 40-foot-wide, 25–30-foot-deep hole are listed below:
- 1962 Corvette
- 1984 Corvette PPG Pace Car
- 1992 Corvette (the millionth built)
- 1993 Corvette ZR-1 Spyder (on loan from GM)
- 1993 Corvette 40th Anniversary Edition
- 2001 Mallet Hammer Corvette
- 2009 Corvette (the 1,500,000th built)
- 2009 Corvette ZR1 "Blue Devil" (on loan from GM)
For anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a prized vehicle, and for Corvette fans everywhere, the news from Bowling Green is disheartening, to say the least. (We won't make another sinking reference, we promise.) We're holding out hope that most of them—if not all—can be restored.
