    I feel sorry for the guy, they should take notice of sinkholes when making roads. I am also a little drunk. I love singstar for the playtation, i also rock at it! :D

    Apparently the sinkhole was caused by a combination of heavy rainfall and a broken water main under the road. The city is going to get the guy a new car though, so that's cool.
