If I were a sinkhole, I'd swallow Ferraris. That's not funny.

I've visited the museum many times Being a Corvette guy and some of those cars that went in are priceless. But no one was hurt so that's a good thing.

Lots of limestone in Ky, just like Florida. That general area is full of caves (Mammoth Cave National Park for one). Sad to see the Vettes underground.

As a former Corvette owner, this just makes one's heart ache!

Yeah, I was fond of a car once, but...not a lifelong commitment. he died on the road beside me in a crash from which I was protected from harm by an inch or few when the passenger window crushed but no further. Gabby, the Chrysler convertible died of a bent frame, but nothing came near me. Angels watching over me my Lord.
