Corvette vs Sink Hole!?!?!
Although this happened to a C5, it is of interest to all Corvette enthusiasts. This story was in my morning paper.

1000 years from now, some archologists are going to find a C5.
Does this guy post here?

I'm not surprised the sinkhole wasn't able to fully digest the C5's huge booty.

Many years ago the famous Winter Park sinkhole opened up here in Florida. Took a bunch of Porches down inside of it.
The sinkhole (read lake) is still there, but I think they removed the Porches.
Guess that's a bad day. :eek:
