Apparently, the sinkhole has an appetite for the skin of the vehicles and not the internals.

GMC = Gay Male Citizens
“Corvette” = dog-whistle feminized name
“Swallowing Corvette” = need I be explicit?
Looks like = cover-up to me!

Florida has a serious problem with sinkholes. Could it be caused by the network of caverns under the Appalachians? Sometimes we’d hear of a small sinkhole around the NYC area, like one that opened up in the Meadowlands, near Giants stadium about 10 years ago, but they are very rare up there.

Those kinds of questions are really easy to answer - just ask yourself which choice gets the insurance company off the hook.

“Or can something like this occur over time and wasnt present then?”
Didn’t read the article. It is probably limestone, with portions of it dissolving as water flows through it forming a cave that gets bigger until it collapses. Often with no buildings, roads, etc. things are fine. Add those structures in and end up dumping more water into one place like from a roof drain and now you have a concentrated flow of water that either creates a new cave, or makes one that was deeper down worse. Now to look at the picture!

Ya gotta think there's some poetic justice in here....Any ideas???

Gotta have something to do with water someplace.....as usual

We also have to remember that this is relatively close to the Mammoth Cave network and in an area comprised of limestone, which leads to the development of caverns.
We visited last year. I really was hoping to take a factory tour, but they hadn’t reopened from the retooling closure for the new ‘Vette.

It was a sink hole that swallowed my highly insured car and my guns. Honest.

Or can something like this occur over time and wasnt present then?I think it's just something endemic to the area.
There are 257 sinkholes in a one-mile radius of the museum. (See: http://www.plotscan.com

On the positive side "Corvette Sinkhole" is a great name for a country song, band or album ...
Maybe Springsteen's follow-up to "Cadillac Ranch"?
