Take care of yourself, a car is just a car and can be replaced. I know you have put some serious work into that ti and hopefully it will make it through the storm. __________________ ~Dave~

If you have to evacuate, can't you just drive your Ti to a safe place? | | | | | 08-30-2008, 01:16 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

I think he's got another car, it's prolly bigger so he can take more stuff. I guess that's why he's leaving his Ti. | | | | | 08-30-2008, 01:52 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |

Stay safe minicoop, while I love being in a tropical storm, the really big ones can be scary. I've not been through a sustained cat3 before and I've been through probably 12-14 storms. I've also usually been above sea level, so the surge was not an issue even though I've been in storms pretty close to the beach before. | | | | | 08-30-2008, 03:42 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 |
thanks to everyone, and yeah, my dad said it will be going on our lift at our shop, which goes up to 8 foot, so itll give me a little better feeling.
we arent driving it because my mom drives a e32 750il and my dad drives a e38 740il, mine is wayyyyyy smaller, and i cant drive i without an adult because i only have my permit. __________________
