How'd it happen? A leak in the storm drain that ran under the parking lot erroded soil during a hard rain, which allowed the ground to cave in, taking the Corvette with it and tons of soil. It took months for laywers, politicians, bureaucrats, the insurers and restaurant owner to get things sorted out and to establish blame before work could begin to repair the damage . . . and pay for the repairs. Once they got started, crews dredged up the Vette during the process of repairing the drain and parking lot. Great job considering the restaurant nearly went in with the car.

A funny comment on the Z06 web site; "I'm glad it wasn't a Z06!"
