Me be happy that out of the 6 cars at my place last Sunday, my 3rdgen was the only one not touched by Wilma. I still don't have power back. I'm on here now because my roommate bought a generator which we run a few hours each night and I'm using a cell modem for internet access. Stupid hurricanes...

I have 2 '91 Formulas' and my red 305 was left outside, by away from the trees, but after what we experienced with the tree branches and trash EVERYWHERE I was shocked it was not hit. I had twigs all over her and even in the door jams and under hoiod got hit by debris and dirt, that was amazing! My white 350 is in the garage so she was not bothered by it, so I don't have to bust my a@# cleaning her like I am with the red and my wife's 2003 Jeep Renegade, which had something bang into the upper driver door above window and dent the sucker. But no paint was harmed and no window damge, so I just need the dent wizard to fix her.
Anyway, hope all my South Florida friends get there power back and get things back to normal, this was a bad storm and did not feel like a weak cat# 3 like the news said. Andy

My 88 sport coupe almost flooded out during Katrina. The water was up near the groud effects. I went out during the hurricane and moved my car to higher ground. It hasnt rained here since Katrina except for this tuesday. I got in a wreck on the way to work. I crushed my front bumper downward and bent my hood and and crushed the headlight bar. Its fixable, but non of the junk yards here have the peices.

Hydro locked engine can't be good. You're just looking for a wet one right?
