Thats gonna 'Sting'

[Burnout]

Must have happened in sympathy with the news of a Holden shut down.

[mik]

I don't know that i would be getting that close to the hole, or even the building for that matter, it may not be over yet ?
hopefully they can extricate and resurrect the vettes to their former glory.

[Sorted]

I'd be moving all the corvette's out of there

Very interesting video footage

[290GTP]

I'd be moving more Corvettes in there. Horrible cars.

that's gold

[zilo]

IT will buff out with a good cut and polish....

[GASWAGON]

Holey Mohley.........Get it......Holey!

Not good for any classic car/bike etc or anything else for that mattter.

[lilmattie]

I can land my RC helicopter smoother than that..

Why does the article say vintage? most are within 10 - 30 years old?

[nstg8a]

The footage from the rc chopper makes it all look fake, they just look like models

[Spurious]

GM= no great loss!

[40RDT]

Holy **** at least the blue ZR1 doesn't look too damaged, those things are beasts

[66FAIRLANE]

Just Satan doing a recall.

[Spurious]

I was just thinking this sink hole would have served a better purpose opening up under a Prius dealership!

[buickman]

Bloody hell I visited the Museum in 2003 and walked around it including the dome area were an Aussie right hand drive converted car was on display.

I think the point he was trying to make implies that he would.

I agree. Do not like or want Corvettes. Don't care how vintage they are, I feel nothing for the loss of these cars. Thankfully it happened when no one was at risk of injury or death. That's what matters most.

Ah yeah, I would rather be driving my B series GT-P than one of those plastic heaps of ****.

Dont like Corvette's, never have, never will.

[Motorbreath310]

Jesus why all the hate toward Vettes? Okay: so they're made of plastic and have leaf springs (GS ute anyone?) but they go hard, look awesome, and sound pretty tittytastic.

They're simple, low maintenance, and still do an awesome job. What's not to like?

wrong badge for starters

[pottery beige]

wouldnt say no to a big block, 4 speed, Vette

[nstg8a]

Yep, I wouldn't kick one out of my garage. My uncle imports them into NZ, and has done for years. Such awesome cars. Don't care about the badge, the car makes up for it.

:;/-&$. Xcgy bv8764. 336780. )./- sorry having trouble typing cos I'm laughing so hard

Last time a checked BA falcons were kind of plastic too

You're right I'd rather be driving a plastic / metal BA falcon than a car that has a 50 year blood line, racing pedigee and its catch cry is the "heart beat of america"

the heart beat of broadmeadows just doesnt have the same ring to it

Oh and it wont stop being produced in 2016

No one is telling you to like them but you are way out of line calling them ****

I'd like to line you up with one that was built in the same year as your car so you can see want they look like from behind .... Then perhaps a serving of humble pie after that

I agree with you totally
Forget badges it's all about the car
Doesn't matter who makes them
Well said

People hang **** on cars simply because of the manufacturer are as short sighted as they are stupid
Camaro's, mustangs, firebirds, corvettes Lamborghini Ferrari challengers chargers etc love them all, some series more than others of course

Every body panel on them is fibreglass, at least the BA has steel panels.
