Chevy to Oversee Restoration of the Corvettes Eaten by Sinkhole
Last week, a 40 foot sinkhole opened up beneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Like the hungry and uncaring maw of an Exogorth, the sinkhole swallowed eight historically-important and rare Corvettes in a scene sure to make muscle car enthusiasts shiver (and arguably as scary as anything you’d find in Tremors).
