Default Lost my C5

Now-where did I park that C5?

they obviously prefer driving with the top down... that can't be real?... if so I wouldn't want to sit underneath it, I'd be worried it was going to fall

Per Eddie Cook's Facebook :


"Eddie Cook:
Just a body. Owner of Corvette Lanes Bowling Alley completely gutted his business and remodeled interior. Wanted something to grab your attention. This is in Murray Ky.

How much does it weigh? And how did you get it up there?


Eddie Cook :I think around 800 lbs, took 2 large cranes and had to cut hole in roof of building."

Looks like the C5 has reached its ceiling. Can only go down from there.
