By now you have surely heard about the Corvettes that got swallowed up by a giant sink hole at the National Corvette Museum. While it’s a terrible thing there are certainly worse tragedies in this world. Since most if not all insurance people are complete assholes and scam artists of course the the insurance company will not be covering the damages. This means of course that the museum is seeking donations. If you think your hard earned money should be spent fixing up the museums Corvettes instead of oh I don’t know feeding the poor then head on over to their site for a tax deductible donation.
After the jump we have some video of the actual sinking. Now I don’t want anyone to think I’m making light of the situation. I like Corvettes and I think it’s a shame what happened. I also think it’s silly to to beg for money to fix Corvettes when we have much more important troubles here in the country. However, it’s your money so who am I to judge? The good news is Chevrolet has stepped in to make sure the cars get restored to spec. That is important since there are some historically significant Vettes here.

Sunday Commentary: the start of good things
Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
Well February is coming along nicely as we have now moved past the half way mark of the month. Winter will be behind us soon and car season on us. The forecast calls for temps up near 60 later this week here at IG HQ which will be a great turn around from the ten below zero we had just a few days ago. I’m excited to see the snow gone. Detail the IG Cobalt and get out and drive.
Mid February is a big transition time for us here at IG as we start to make plans on what car events we can attend and where. With the big car auto shows behind us we first turn our attention to racing season. I doubt I have to tell anyone reading this but the Daytona 500 is coming up right away and I will hopefully have loads of pics and info from the event. F1 is also going to kick off soon and winter testing is in full trot now. We may be able to have some NHRA coverage this year as well which would round out our race coverage nicely. I’m very excited for all the things we have to come here on IG. It’s going to be a big year! Not to mention we’ve got a BIG site update coming soon. I know I mentioned it a month or so ago but with the server troubles and some other things that came up we had to put it on the back burner. However work is in full swing and maybe this time next month we are all enjoying the new format. It’s going to be much more user friendly.
