Shame is I had the chance to go here a few years ago on our way to Ohio and didn't take it.

I saw this on facebook a couple days ago, real shame that so many classics ruined. The worst part is that im sure there had to be a kia dealership somewhere around there lol.... all joking aside I hope they are able to restore as many as they can

I've often wondered how much of this planet we can pull out before the whole damn thing collapses! I mean, we mine all sorts of minerals, water, oils and other gases, etc....it seems to me that we are pulling the foundation out of from under our house to build our house.:smiley-scared003:

Havne't seen the security cam footage, as my current connection isn't good enough... but hate to see this happen, regardless of whether there was insurance or not, those cars can't be replaced!!

It is just staggering at how they are there one second and gone the next! I love going to auto museums and this such a shame for irreplaceable cars. One was the only '83 to be made, so I read.

They've started recovery! Several videos on YouTube.

I'm glad that went well, could have been bad if something went wrong! Come to think of it, they said eight cars fell but from the pics down in there you cant see that many. The others must be buried... that ain't gonna be pretty!
