Must have happened in sympathy with the news of a Holden shut down.

I don't know that i would be getting that close to the hole, or even the building for that matter, it may not be over yet ?
hopefully they can extricate and resurrect the vettes to their former glory. |

I can land my RC helicopter smoother than that..
Why does the article say vintage? most are within 10 - 30 years old?

I agree. Do not like or want Corvettes. Don't care how vintage they are, I feel nothing for the loss of these cars. Thankfully it happened when no one was at risk of injury or death. That's what matters most. |

Jesus why all the hate toward Vettes? Okay: so they're made of plastic and have leaf springs (GS ute anyone?) but they go hard, look awesome, and sound pretty tittytastic.
They're simple, low maintenance, and still do an awesome job. What's not to like? |

Yep, I wouldn't kick one out of my garage. My uncle imports them into NZ, and has done for years. Such awesome cars. Don't care about the badge, the car makes up for it.

Last time a checked BA falcons were kind of plastic too You're right I'd rather be driving a plastic / metal BA falcon than a car that has a 50 year blood line, racing pedigee and its catch cry is the "heart beat of america" the heart beat of broadmeadows just doesnt have the same ring to it Oh and it wont stop being produced in 2016 No one is telling you to like them but you are way out of line calling them **** I'd like to line you up with one that was built in the same year as your car so you can see want they look like from behind .... Then perhaps a serving of humble pie after that |
