It's a sad morning for the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. A sinkhole opened under the dome this morning and swallowed eight cars on display. "As it started happening, it triggered an alarm, so the security company called an employee," Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode said. The alarm, which was triggered at 5:38 a.m., also resulted in a call to the fire department. "It's about 20 feet deep. As best as I can see it is about as big as the pedestal area where we had the cars displayed," Strode said.
The dome is part of the original museum for which construction began in 1992 and was complete in 1994. Strode said nothing can be done about the cars until a structural engineer arrives and evaluates the situation. "We also have called some karst people from Western Kentucky University to come out and see what is going on. This is the first incidence of a sinkhole on the property", he said. Currently, plans are for the museum to be open, but the dome room will be closed.

the Miller Cycle engine, I've never heard of it before... and a bit about Mazda
I just learned they have a museum: http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/museum/index.html?link_id=sc it's in Hiroshima Japan, though you can do a bit of exploring with Google Street View http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/museum/guide.html
As with its leadership in Wankel technology, Mazda remains (so far) the only automaker to have used a Miller-cycle engine in the automotive realm. The reason is simple, incredibly more expensive, (supercharger and intercoolers) very little gain in power 10hp, or mpg 15% http://www.motivemag.com/pub/feature/tech/Motive_Tech_Miller_Time_-_The_Miller_Cycle_Engine_Explained.shtml
Mazda remains the only automaker to have produced a Wankel-powered pickup truck.
Additionally, it is also the only marque to have ever offered a rotary-powered bus (the Mazda Parkway, offered only in Japan) or station wagon (within the RX-3 & RX-4 line for US markets).
Mazda also helped Ford develop the 1991 Explorer, which Mazda sold as the 2-door only Mazda Navajo from 1991 through 1994. Ironically, Mazda's version was unsuccessful, while the Ford (available from the start as a 4-door or 2-door model) instantly became the best selling sport-utility vehicle in the United States and kept that title for over a decade
