Muscle Cars damged by Hurricane..

Yeah, I remember that one, holy shit. How many Vettes fell down the hole? Like over 20?

Eight Corvettes fell into the sinkhole, with five sustaining severe damage. Among these five were a 1984 PPG Indy Car World Series Pace Car, a one-off 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, a 1993 40th Anniversary coupe, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06, and a 2009 C6 Convertible; which was the 1.5 millionth Chevrolet Corvette produced. Despite GM’s initial pledge to do so, none of these cars were able to be fully restored after being removed from the sinkhole.

This, of course, is NOTHING. Compared to the horrors going on in Florida. I simply post this as Im a muscle car fan, period.
And I do wonder though...with the warnings they had..why couldnt the owner trailer these up and move them out of harms way for a few days?

Just for grins google "Superbird Clone"

The earlier forecast was landfall in Tampa, not Fort Myers. Then the Panhandle, then north of Tampa, then Tampa. That's a big difference. Furthermore, forecast tracks aren't solid and things change. It becomes a risk versus reward game and also an issue of the boy who cried wolf. When Irma struck, it originally was planned to make landfall on the east coast and folks fled to the west coast. Guess where it struck? The west coast. For folks that haven't gone through them, you really don't have a solid forecast until about the 12 hour mark and even then they change.

Andrew was originally forecasted to hit Miami, literally under an 8 hour window before landfall it shifted south and struck Homestead.

That means you can't really move stuff. Because for every storm. 9 out of 10 times, it'll be a boy who cried wolf and that costs money.
