Exclamation Giant sinkhole eatting cars at the National Corvette Museum!

On the local news this morning. What really sucks is that area is where all the really special and historic Corvettes are on display.

Sinkhole swallows 8 cars at National Corvette Museum

That is a HUGE hole and a wonder it hadn't fallen sooner. Thankfully no one was inside at the time. Let's all hope they can quickly repair all the damage, and restore such historic cars.

It's the sinking economy and the falling stock market.
