Evacuating without my Boxster....
 
I think I'm going to evacuate for Gustav without my Boxster, so please keep your fingers crossed with me that it is okay. I'm going to lock it in my parents' garage which has never flooded. I hate to do it, but my parents are taking two cars, both with automatic transmissions, and driving in evacuation traffic alone in a manual will be horrible. I said I'd never do it, but I'm going to leave my baby behind. :(

Yikes! I hope it survives! I would bring it anyways. :eek:

Rick V 08-30-2008 10:11 AM

Take the baby, you have room for the puppies in it. I (and I am sure the rest of us) will be keeping our fingers crossed for ya. Good luck and keep us posted.

LoveBunny 08-30-2008 10:21 AM

I know. I'm feeling so guilty about the thought of leaving it. I don't want to jinx myself by saying this, but my parents had two antique cars in the garage that made it through Katrina, so it should be okay.

Best wishes to you, your family, and of course that beautiful Boxster. To where are you evacuating?

LB...you be careful out there and be safe, hopefully that everything still in place when you get back and i'm speaking also for everyone that's on the path of hurricane. I do hope that they find shelter on time....

Good luck to you, your family, and your Boxster. While you take care of your family, we'll all cross our fingers for your Boxster.

Thanks! Think some positive thoughts for my shoe and purse collection I'm leaving behind too. :D

Wish you and everyone else down there the best of luck. Hopefully Gustav will blow itself out before landfall.

Pack them in your car. Maybe you can seal the purses and shoes in ziplock freezer bags so if water is a problem they will remain dry.

I hope we don't see news coverage of looters carrying a Boxster through flooded streets. :D jk, hope you baby stays safe.

Lil bastard 08-30-2008 02:49 PM

LuvB,

Stay Safe !!

Cars and ******************** can be replaced !!

People can't !!

Brucelee 08-30-2008 03:08 PM

Best of luck. As has been said, cars are just cars. Take care of you and your family.

:dance:

Lordblood 08-30-2008 03:33 PM

Get the hell out of there, your Box can be replaced, people can't.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck to you and your family.

LoveBunny 08-30-2008 04:05 PM

I'm actually more worried about my brother. He is staying behind. He works for the power company in IT so I think he might be needed for work. Either way, he's staying. But he's pretty resourceful and has boxes of MREs so I'm sure he'll do fine.

I'm getting ready to leave in a couple of minutes. Hopefully you won't see some cracked out looking guy on the news driving a black Boxster with 19" turbo wheels filled up with Heinekens. :p

ekam 08-30-2008 04:42 PM

First thing that came to mind when I read about Gustav in the news was you and your boxster!!!

I hope you and your family have guns and know very well how to use them.

I wouldn't move to New Orleans if someone pay me a million bucks....


...ok a million bucks plus a few submachine guns and ammo.

silver arrow 08-30-2008 05:12 PM

Where is the NRA sticker on your Box. :D

LoveBunny 08-30-2008 05:36 PM

I am in the car with my dad right now listening to him sing off key an whistle with the sinatra station while my brother's dog is howling at the top of her lungs. There is an hk 223 behind the seat and im about to go postal

derb 08-30-2008 05:50 PM

stay safe and let us know how things work out.
