Crews are adding extra support to the building and taking out a wall to make room for a crane. They are also cutting holes into the floor and filling them with concrete at key points for even more support. Then the crane will be used to pull the cars out of the sinkhole.

Roger, the owner of that one lives near me. When the story first broke back in Feb, the local news interviewed him. His entire garage has Corvette logo stuff EVERYWHERE. He said this was the first time he hasn't had a Corvette in his garage since 1997. So he put a Toys R Us radio controlled Corvette on one of the runners of the car lift in his garage and raised it up in the air. They ended the segment with him driving the toy Vette around the garage.

Wow!! Sometimes it seems like the name of something determines its fate.....this one certainly appears to have been beaten repeatedly with a giant version of its name!!!

If you look through the recovery photos that were posted in the link there are several of the cars that came out of the hole in pretty rough shape. I think when that first one came up with minor damage and they started & drove it a short distance many people assumed that these eight cars were just going to be lifted from the hole washed off and maybe get some minor cracks & scratches tended to, and be as good as new. Not the case....
