Yes, confirmed that 8 cars were swallowed up. OMG... What a loss that could be, depending on which ones...
DAYAM! http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/B...per-1&at_pos=0 What effect will this have on the Gathering (I can't help but wonder)?

Hard to believe something like that could happen. We had dinner in there last year!
This is going to be expensive to fix, perhaps we should start a collection? Dave

Blue flame restorations a can restore those cars no matter what. I think the most key car lost was the 1 millionth Vette, and possibly the ZR1 spyder.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Eight Corvettes at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green are gone after a sinkhole opened under the Skydome portion of the facility Wednesday morning. According to a news release, the museum's security company alerted officials around 5:44 a.m. Wednesday when movement in the Skydome set off motion detectors. Museum officials said when the arrived at the building they discovered the sinkhole and the Bowling Green Fire Department secured the area. The release stated the following cars were affected:
The museum is open to the public, but officials said the Skydome is closed to everyone, including employees, until it is deemed structurally sound. |

They better think about removing Zora and Elfie to safer ground.....
The article states that the NCM will be open today. I would think that from a liability standpoint, they would not want their employees at risk.

Perhaps a donation from the Registry as a whole combined with donations by individuals ? The BG disaster relief fund? Count me in.

Good thing the museum was closed or it could have been much worse, I wonder how long it had been sinking? I'm sure they have insurance to help with the cost.

I left Adam a voicemail telling him I was willing to buy the spider sight unseen.
On a serious note. I am glad to hear that no one was hurt.
