HERE'S THE COOLEST PART: The Digital Corvettes community got its sh!t together and found the cars. Their new hiding place was discovered by a forum member. The following images appeared on DC two days ago:

...as did, predictably, a new round of outrage.

Max's plans? He wants to buy 14 more cars, bringing the collection to an even 50 examples and the 2003 model year. He also told the New York Times that he wants to paint the cars in a more respectful manner and auction them off. Cahill came out of the woodwork, signing up for a Digital Corvettes membership and spilling the beans on the collection's early days. (Random depression: Max's shippers didn't even want the car covers.) And we are, like everyone else, a little sad.

There is a lesson here, but we'll be damned if we know what it is. Regardless, one thing is for sure: No matter who you are, you shouldn't buy a passel of Corvettes if you're going to let them fester in a basement. And Max, if you're out there, listen up: When people offer to fix your cars for free, you listen. Do us a favor and stop hiding your fiberglass light under a bushel, huh?

That whole story is bizzaro! Talk about a barn find! Right in the middle of town. I had never even heard of that VH1 deal or if I had I forgot it. Older now you know.

oooh... there is a lot of history here...

first off, the cars were a VH1 contest from the 1980s. The entire collection was won and then sold to Peter Max.

Now, Peter Max is a rather famous pop artist. Known for a number of album covers and such. He planned some kinda pop art thing for it, but it never happened.

As much as it may disgust those of us who like Corvettes, the cars are his and he has the right to do with as he pleases. Just because we don't approve, it doesn't give us the rights to be jerks about it.

If these were living creatures, sure, I would be appalled, and as a Corvette geek, I am not impressed...

I would hope he is going to sell them... but the cars are not worth the sum of the collection.
