Sinkhole swallows 8 cars at Corvette museum
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A sinkhole formed Wednesday under the National Corvette Museum here, swallowing eight cars, according to its executive director.
Sometime before 5:30 a.m. CT, the sinkhole started to form, authorities believe. By 5:44 a.m., motion detectors were going off and police were called, Executive Director Wendell Strode said. The incident originally was thought to be a fire.

When emergency personnel got to the museum, they discovered a sinkhole 40 feet wide and 25 to 30 feet deep, Strode said.

Unfortunately many of the swallowed cars were loaned to the museum for display.

In my opinion. Which is worth what you paid for it.

Now that! is the question. Would Thoreau admonish the idea since the collective industrialism would further destroy the nature which he so adamantly wants to cloister himself in? Or, would he be a proponent since as he approaches the speed of light time and space comes to a stand still thus allowing him to perpetually " live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."
who the **************** knows.

C'mon guys, we all know that it's the 911's that God really hates since they don't give Boxster owners the respect they and their cars are due.
Gotta run, I'm late for the bus...............
