Sinkhole Opens Up At National Corvette Museum, Swallows Cars

A massive sinkhole that opened up under a Kentucky museum Wednesday morning swallowed several vintage and rare Corvettes.

The National Corvette Museum said the Bowling Green Fire Department estimates the sinkhole to be around 25-30 feet deep and 40 feet wide.

"This is going to be an interesting situation," Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode told the Bowling Green Daily News, noting that a structural engineer is at the Bowling Green facility to evaluate the damage inside its Sky Dome section.

Six of the cars in the sinkhole are owned by the museum; two others are owned by General Motors.

I always wanted a Corvette,but I could never afford one.By the time I could afford one I had 2 kids and a 2 seater anything wouldn't work.If I had shown up there a day before the sinkhole swallowed them,and if I had stolen one of their Corvettes,would I have been prosecuted?

3:08 highly rated by whom? An industry controlled awards/media? Sorta like when The Metropolitan has the best on the shore, because they bought the title in dollars spent advertising.

I suggest you google the list of lemons by manufacturer.

As of 2013 the Jeep Wranger was the 6th highest lemoned vehicle.
