Farkas Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think it's incredibly lucky that this didn't happen during the day where people could've been seriously hurt. It's also a shame it didn't swallow more C4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 http://www.wate.com/story/24855599/national-corvette-museum-begins-extracting-cars-from-sinkhole The National Corvette Museum will began extracting the cars that fell into a sinkhole two weeks ago. The Bowling Green, Kentucky museum houses some of the most classic Corvettes in the world. On February 12, a sinkhole opened up inside the museum's dome, swallowing eight of their most valuable cars. On Friday a crane was positioned outside the dome preparing to begin recovering the cars.The recovery effort is expected to begin Monday. Workers cut out a door in the museum's dome where the cars were on display. "As they remove the cars, the plan is to put them on sort of dollies, wheel them out of the museum and back to our exhibit hall," explained Corvette Museum spokesperson Katie Frassinelli. Attendance at the museum is up with people coming to see the sinkhole and try to catch a glimpse of the cars. The story made international headlines the day after the sinkhole fell. "We have a plexi-glass window where they can look in and see for themselves, the work being done," said Frassinelli. There is discussion about what the museum will do with the cars once they are removed. Frassinelli told News 2 they are also considering covering the hole with a clear surface so that visitors can look directly into the sinkhole. "They're talking about keeping one of the cars down there so people can see it," she said. It will take several days to retrieve the cars.

POS VETT Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 A C4 is still part of Corvette history. There are individual units worth mentioning (especially the extremely elusive 1983 model year) and, to some people, collecting. In the last few years of C4 production (namely, once LT1 was introduced), the model had quite some improvements that I preferred it over any offering from most of other makes. It may seem archaic compared to the C7 or even a C6, but any later generation has a root in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
