Great, it had been turned off until today. Would have been neat to see them flying the little drone hello into the hole.

Thanks!

SEE IT: First of 8 Corvettes swallowed by National Corvette Museum sinkhole rescued - NY Daily News

That article indicated first of eight. Think they have retrieved 5 now.

I just came back from lunch with my two brothers, one of whom has always had a thing about Corvettes, buying his first one at 16. He never stopped. Now, at 70, he brought his new, fully loaded 2014 Z51 to show off to us. I must admit, it is an impressive car. Apparently there is a butterfly valve in the exhaust for which you can twiddle a knob to adjust how you like your Vette to sound. There are many other knobs that will adjust many aspects of the driving experience all through the drivetrain and suspension systems. It's a good thing I live down a long, dusty road which keeps me from spending too much money on good-looking, expensive cars.

I saw the title of that thread and thought that we'd lost another of our ships.

Don't think USS independence would fit in the hole?

Last of the 8 Corvettes extracted from the sinkhole. The 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 was last of the 8 and much worse shape than the rest.

All 8 will be rebuilt to be back on display by the August 2104 20th anniversary celebration of the NCM.

Rick, the 2001 Mallett Hammer Corvette does not have much left of it.
