    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    They've started extricating the 'Vettes.

    Victim #1, an '09 ZR1 "otherwise known as the Blue Devil...the prototype version that helped shape the production ZR1", reportedly started right up and was driven away.

    Victim #2, a "1993 40th Anniversary Edition, affectionately known as Ruby", didn't fare as well...

    Heard today on the news that GM has agreed to fix the cars that they can get out of the hole.

    Victim #3, on the way out.

    From Motor Authority: "This time it's the black 1962 Corvette that has risen from dusty confines below the Skydome. The hood was removed during the rescue in order to gain access to appropriate mounting points. From the photos, it's clear that the car has taken on some serious damage, however, it looks to be in far better shape than the red 1993 Corvette recovered yesterday."
