Bad enough to see those vehicles fall through. The pieces of concrete slab that fell in afterward were the coup de grĂ¢ce though. I know they can probably be put back together,( and certainly the same cannot be said for people, thank goodness there was no personal injury), but...

Sure there is only 1 millionth Vette...just like there is only 1 247,000th Vette or only 1 1,000,001th Vette. It just an arbitrary number I don't see it as anything special.   I thought the whole things was kind of funny as long as nobody got hurt.  It's just a car. ::)  But then I forgot...this is the Honda site where some folks go gaga over serial numbers just because they were built before somebody else. ;D

I wonder of the 62 was a fuely? My dad had one, there are not many of them left, that's what makes a car valuable. Sad to see that one go down.

News today said that GM will repair them.  Once they are removed from the hole they will be shipped up here to Michigan for repair.  Estimated damage about 1 million.

It's not the building, it's where it was built. Probably on limestone.
