Whatever Wednesday - Corvettes Galore

As  we planned our  May road trip, Ray signed us up to tour  the Corvette Museum in Bowling  Green,  KY.  It  was quite wonderful. 

Lots of car history, beautiful vettes on  display, and various films discussed the design, styles, etc through the  years. 

Here's  the  restored  one millionth vette. It was a victim  of the sinkhole disaster, but was retrieved and put back into its original  glory. 

Ray has  had  a few Corvettes through the years. He's currently a Camaro man, but you never know when he might  decide he needs to  be rayvette again.  He  did say he  would pay for the  museum  delivery service. You get to  come  pick  up  your car, have  time  on  the track, and a full day of attention. Zoom . Zoom

Here's a view into the  famous sinkhole. Kentucky is full of cave systems. Alas, the Skydome area became a victim in 2014 at 5:30 am. The security footage shows part of the room collapse with eight  priceless Corvettes (including  the  1 millionth  and  1.5 millionth.)  Fortunately no one  was there  or  hurt.

Over  the course of time, all cars were retrieved but three were beyond  repair or replacement - just crumpled metal. Five cars were repaired or replaced thanks to donors and are on display now.

Corvettes are a unique vehicle - distinctive, fast, and a lot of bang for the pricey buck. We enjoyed our tour.
