What a sad day for all Corvette owners/enthusiast around the globe history has been damaged but not lost hopefully they can restore what was damaged. They will never be perfect again but hopefully restored as best as possible.

Ya.....I was trying to figure out what "survivors" was......I was thinking they just pull them out of the hole and set them on display calling them a survivor but then thought that would be sooooooooo stupid.....I got a photo if you want to see what a totaled 1990 Corvette looks like.........it is NOT fun to look at :mad:

Then on local news of the disaster (CA News and NOT SD News) the News guys and gals thought it was funny that such toys fell into a hole in the ground :censored:

Perhaps its not personal enough to them. People sometimes think another's problem is funny. Not everyone on this planet is intelligent enough to understand what just happened there. Perhaps one day they will get it. Thankfully the museum and cars can be recovered and possibly restored.
CA is one quake away from something like this only on a grander scale. I remember the last quake and resulting damage. I left one month before the disaster and was on the embarcadero hiway that I think pancaked cars and the lower ramp etc. I didn't think it was funny.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

The news people see this as just another story.One news anchor was interviewing somebody in the Corvette community.The news guy had a smirk on his face trying to find humor in the story,until he was told that the 1,000,000 car was worth close to $1 Million dollars,the smirk was gone after that.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

i don't think anything that went down the hole was $1m car

Re: Corvette Museum
 

unfortunately only the true Corvette lovers will understand what may have been lost. Fortunately we are many and will keep the dream alive for the future custodian's of the American Dream car.

Who are you kidding Kevin? That '84 Pacer is worth that easily!

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I agree.This would be a constant reminder of something everyone would like to forget.I cant see G.M. having any part in this and even though I would like to see the extraction process I hope there isnt any coverage of the cars coming out of the hole.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

On the contrary, I hope there is extensive documentation. I'm a cameraman and I'm real disappointed in the work so far. Gimme a harness dammit.
I'm like a little kid, fascinated by how the forces of nature can sweep our little toys right off the table and damage our playhouse.
No one was hurt, that's the main thing. Everything else can be fixed. Let's not get maudlin about it.

BTW, did you see in those NCM stills how deeeeep that hole is? Who's got the cajones to find the bottom? There are real serious caves down there. I usually don't like spelunker shows on t.v., but this is an exception. Stalactites, Stalagmites, and C4's, cool.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Looking at some of those pictures, looks like they better get the cars out of there before the bottom falls out of the pit.
