"hollie mollie"

The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., has long been a mini-Mecca for fans of America's most hallowed sports car. Early this morning, that museum suffered the catastrophe shown above, when a sinkhole in the Sky Dome opened up and swallowed eight rare Vettes, including two that belonged to General Motors.
According to museum officials, the sinkhole began around 5:30 a.m. while the museum was closed, and within minutes had grown to about 40 feet wide and 25 to 30 feet deep. No one was injured, but the list of Corvettes spelunking in the hole includes two on loan from General Motors, a rare 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil that may have been the original show car.

Now that’s a tragedy!
Now that’s a tragedy!
Noooooooooo!
So do you need earthquake insurance to cover a sinkhole or is that different?

Dear Heavenly Father:
Thank you for answering my prayers and opening a giant sink hole in Kentucky.
I think you may have had your coordinates a little off though. I specifically had mentioned “underneath Mitch McConnell’s feet”.
Nice effort though, so please try again.
Honest, Officer, I don’t know why that sinkhole spat those cars up into my garage. You’ll have to ask a geologist.
looks like the gubmint needs to do another car bailout

Iron deficiency ???
Not sure.
It’s been open since 94 so for 20 yrs it was OK.
Obviously there will be some investigation as to did the contractor do seismic work in preparation?
Or can something like this occur over time and wasn’t present then?
I wasn’t slagging on your post, just wanted to direct you to the pics therein.
dig out more like it......
ROTFL!
I saw that article and that there was a 1993 40th anniversary edition that fell into the hole. I would be glad to replace that one for them.(for a price of course) I have one in my garage I bought new and there is only 27,000 miles on it. as you can tell, I don’t use it much.
I think it can occur over time and wasn’t present then. I’m not aware of any requirement for contractors to do seismic work, but I’m not close to that industry. Florida gets hit with sinkholes the most. Not sure how common it is in Kentucky. I know they have a lot of caves, but they are usually pretty stable.
Read TN and FL are the only states that require insurance to make sinkhole coverage available. But it might require a rider. My guess is there insurance probably covers it.
