The three remaining Corvettes have been recovered from a sinkhole at the Museum.
Be warned folks, this is NOT pretty.
Have your choice of nerve tonic at the ready...

First up, the ZR-1 Spyder...

And what to do with one of the rocks from the sinkhole?

Incredible. I kind of find it difficult to understand how they could be so mangled just from what I'd think was a fairly slow, controlled fall into a hole. Even if they fell one on top of the next... Looking at the damage and equating it to vehicle accidents, it sure seems to me like a ton of damage.

Jeez they're totally crushed -- how can falling in a hole do all that damage ?

Why are these cars worth recovering?

+1 What a crying shame though.

Rocks and pieces of the (concrete) floor fell in on top of them.
