Well, this is welcome news. I had it on good authority that GM was going to use the hole as a memorial to all the money they've lost though building products that nobody wanted - with certain exceptions, of course - and the latest recalls. Not to mention general mismanagement. THE UAW IMHO should have their own tunnel off the sinkhole.
They could have smoothed out the walls a bit, and put in a stairway so visitors could go down there and view painted portraits of GM executives from the last 25 years and perhaps a rotating display of some of their excellent products. I think a Pontiac Aztek twirling around on a turntable down in the bowels of the museum might be appropriate. I'll bet many of you might even have your own candidates.
But I guess it's a Corvette Museum, isn't it? Well, (okay I won't begin to suggest some of the Corvettes that are, ahem, worthy of a spin or two down in the sinkhole.)
Most of you already know what the subjects might be and it's almost too bad those examples weren't displayed on the floor that caved in.
Okay, flame suit on.
In truth, I was saddened to hear of the sinkhole, but the very term caused me to think of GM in general.
Just sayin'

I'll probably wish I'd never posted what I said, but I did...
If you think this post was out of place, remind me sometime to tell you the story of when I did a comparo test between the then new Porsche 944 and the contemporary Alfa GTV 6.
Sometimes one just needs to be careful, not so much as what is said, but rather the forum in which it's presented.
