During my adventures of visiting Nashville, I decided to make a stop in Bowling Green to the National Corvette Museum. If you haven't watched the news, a massive sinkhole came through and sucked in several pretty Corvettes. Now they are working on the restoration efforts of pulling them out one by one like baby Jessica in the well (those raised in the 80s will understand this reference).

I did get to talk with one of the engineers and sweet talked him into taking my cell phone and take a few photos of the infamous hole. I was in utter shock how big and deep it was upon seeing the photos. See as you peer through the glass of the black box the hole is "way over yonder" on the other side.
