    Yeah, plus they need to save some cash to spend on fixing the building. But before they can rebuild they need to stabilize and fill the hole and that will be very expensive.

    They could always fill it with some ugly unsold GM products.

    More proof that God loves MINIs and hates straight-line muscle cars.

    Now there is a place, other than corners, where Corvettes get eaten for breakfast!

    I'm just now learning to fly one, and I can do better than that....

    They should have called in the guys from flitetest.com instead of these amateurs with that flyin' turd.

    Even though the gold chain crowd has given Vettes a bad name, the right ones are bad ass track cars

    Unless it's a go-kart track, I'd pick my Z51 for track duty any day over my JCW.

    Ah, another member of the RWD, fire-breathing, small block V-8 club. Excellent! Next we are going to conjure up the the ghost of Zora to open up a can of whip-a** on all the non-believers :Thumbsup:

    I've been to the museum many times and it makes me sick to see that.
    My straight line muscle car on the Dragon. Modified LT4 and Z51 suspension and it's pretty darned quick on the twists.

    Beautiful car! The ONLY thing that could make it look any better is if it was a Grand Sport with that incredible Admiral Blue paint work and white skunk stripe-but you have the GS fender stripes so you are pretty close :Thumbsup:

    Z51 made all the difference in handling on the C4's.

    I wish more Mini folks had that wide, Le Mans style, single stripe down the middle. To me, it's way too small of a car for all of the dual stripe jobs I see.

    Sounds like there's a taste for Swiss/French-Americana cuisine in that neck of the woods.

    This is only 60 miles from my house. Luckily I'm not on top of mammoth cave though. Far as I know anyway.

    And to think, I have stood right there. Just goes to show, you can go at any time.
    This is a DAMN shame and I'm sure some people lost some Vettes they put a lot energy into. They loaned them out so others could enjoy them too, I feel bad for them.
