Duff1647545513 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 My friend's husband works there. She said they're working on getting them out of the hole and the rest of the cars out of the area because the hole is still growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Remember on Jackass when Steve-O shoved the Corvette up his ass then went to the dr to get an Xray? This is just like that only with a bigger asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It happened in the Dome, one of the oldest areas of the museum. http://i.imgur.com/Y0PwDL3.jpg The camera was up this morning for it, but now it has been taken down.

Stretch Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 That sucks. Gonna cost a lot to repair some of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The first car they removed was the sole 1983 corvette. Hope they can save this one, it is literally irreplaceable. I heard a story about this car, it shouldn't still be around anyways. But thanks to one of the people commissioned to destroy the run of cars, they couldn't see destroying all of them.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Skip to 1:50 for them actually going in the sink hole. I was hoping to see a vid of the cars actually being swallowed.... Ohh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Skip to 1:50 for them actually going in the sink hole. Ummpphhhh :no: The first car they removed was the sole 1983 corvette. I was unaware of this story. http://www.corvetteblog.com/2007/02/corvette-museum-the-missing-1983-corvette/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well on the bright side nobody was there to get hurt. Still amazing to me the odds of all the places for a sink hole, it swallows the only 1983 Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytang Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Even if your not into Corvettes it is worth visiting. Excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well on the bright side nobody was there to get hurt. Still amazing to me the odds of all the places for a sink hole, it swallows the only 1983 Corvette. I don't think the 83 went into the hole. I think the story meant that they removed the 83 from the dome so it wouldn't go in if the hole widened. The 83 wasn't on the list of 8 that went in.

Cordell Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I find it interesting that it happened to the cars in the middle of dome. I'm not, if you consider all the footing and extra concrete poored around the perimeter to support the dome. Now that's not to say the dome isn't unstable but it wouldn't be the first to go.

Versluis Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cant believe it. Its weird to see the photos and know that I have walked right through there. Some pretty good cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
