On the national news last night they stated that GM would help with any parts needed to restore the damaged Corvettes.

Yes, I was looking at that too. There are some "bottomless pits" peeking through the dirt. After all, the material in the void went somewhere, right? And, I think we can see the black throat of that monster still open!

does this mean zr-1 body panels?
Thats the same group that runs the GM Heritage collection. The latest word, as per NCM emails last night is, The GM will be taking over the restoration of the vehicles. The early (as still in the hole early) feeling is that a complete resto can be accomplished on all of them. If not, they will be displayed as "survivors cars" with the history of the collapse. You can bet at least one will be part of a Sinkhole Collapse exhibit.

Some are speculating it could have been a subterranean heist job gone bad.
Remember the movie "Paint Your Wagon"?

Thats exactly how they do it....Grouting is what its called and its $$$, other option is underpinnings, etc....

There was a large sinkhole in BG in 2002, cost $1M to repair

I would assume some sort of flowable fill, if there is a bottom to that thing.

At the bottom of the hole are the chinese. Them asians are good for diggin' tunnels. They were lookin' for templates to do fakes.

Look for rice. Not the 4-wheel kind...
