Sad Sad Story

Have any of you seen the story in the news about the buried car? Tulsa, OK 1957. The residents buried a then new Plymouth Belvedere as a time capsule and would then retrieve it from it's tomb in 50 years, Tulsa's centenial. Well it's been 50 years and they dug up the car to find the concrete vault they thought was sealed, had leaked. The vault and car were full of water. If you are a fan of the movie Christine, You have to see this!

That buried Plymouth was the talk of the car guy scene about six months ago, and has been featured in just about every automotive magazine going...

I'm sorry for wasting your time and mine. I, you see, do have a life and am not able to "search" every source of media before I decide to share a story that I think is interesting. If this is a no no on this forum then why is their a "lounge" forum anyway. I don't feel like lounging right now, I feel like flipping you off!!!!!!!!!:beatyoass:

In other words, some people may not have seen this story and may not have a whole lotta time to surf the net. I am one of those people. That's why I just found out about this buried rusted piece of shiznit mopar today.

I had heard that the date was coming up last year on an antique car forum, that SUCKED. I wish I hadn't found out until like a month before! I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to see what it was like (I was real hopeful and thus real sad to see the results). But I read recently that some well-known de-rusting fluid manufacturer is gonna use just that stuff and see what they can do with it, and maybe get the thing running too!
 
I can't help wondering if somehow it was possible to keep water out for that long, if it would have held up!

Posting something in the lounge is not a no-no. Posting something in a lounge, then getting all pissy and defensive when somebody points out that it's old news, is. You asked if we'd seen it. Chuck replied to the question you asked, in no particularly rude manner, that we, as a forum, had indeed seen it. You got all pissy with Chuck, so I showed you that it had been posted before.

Seriously - wouldn't "OK, well, here it is again for those of you who hadn't seen it" been a better response than "I see you speak for everyone. I guess new from Tulsa travels to Indy faster than it travels to Baltimore. Next time, I'll ask "we" first."?

Neither did I. Fox news doesn't bother with that stuff and the only mag i read is MM&FF.
