    Ever Get That Sinking Feeling...?

    Here's a slide-show of our recent trip to The Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky:

    The Corvette Museum Sinkhole - YouTube


    (I really don't think some of these will buff out!!)

    Wow, that was tough to watch! All those great cars ruined. Thanks for putting it together. Those photos showed damage much worse than I ever saw on the news coverage.

    Ain't that the truth...
    And even these photos don't show all of the damages:
    They look much worse in person!!

    Holy cow!! Tough is not the word I would use.... but Bob's music selection made it somewhat more "upbeat"

    Yeah, I got that sinking feeling today when the dasboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Warning lights, buzzers and the whole shebang. Engine derated and would not run past 55 mph.

    I road past there on my way to Chi-town the week it happened, but decided that parking would be an issue.

    Talking with some of the Museum's employees...
    The attendance has nearly tripled since this mishap!
    I know I would keep the display going for awhile.

    Hi VT...

    Glad to hear from you again!

    Still keeping busy, I see.
    EPA-electronics the cause of this derating?

    Stay safe out there.

    Absolutely. DEF issue. Parked outside of Tracey Freightliner, East Syracuse as I type.
    Losing out on high revenue Wal Mart dedicated freight.

    Great sharing cyberspace with you again friend!

    That was really depressing. I went there about 8 years ago and salivated over them.

    But you pictures really brought home the amount of damage. Just made me want to


    It's kind of surprising that they will be left as-is as a display.
