Default 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.

You have to wonder if more pieces of his car will turn up...

1000 years from now, some archologists are going to find a C5.

Does this guy post here?

Yeah, I don't think that I would be too upset about getting a new Vette as well..... Nice that no one got hurt.

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:
