How to prepare for the big storm?

Go to the high ground!

Before the storm prep:

After the storm prep:

All of our cars have been moved off of the barrier islands and to one of our dealerships on the mainland. Depending on which way the hurricane goes, we should hopefully have everything here by mid week and also be ready to roll for Toys for Tots next Saturday (Oct. 10th)!

Be safe everyone in the danger zone!

Dave

Is Kerbeck Corvette part of the F.C. Kerbeck and Son's line of dealerships?

Are these 2 different companies, and is there any association with each other?

Same 3 Kerbeck brothers own both locations! There's also another location down the shore but on the mainland.

No way. Too much of a chance of damage going on and off a carrier, we drove them. It's about 4 miles away.

So with A new car with 6 miles on it add 8 and now they will have 14
Miles on them.I guess you can justify selling them with no or very little mileage.

Yeah, not issue. Most cars only had 3 or 4 to start. Some have another 1 or 2 for test drives.

That's a sea of Corvettes that had to be moved, which is better that a bunch of Corvettes in the sea I suppose...

You should have requested assistance from Corvette Forum members. We would have gotten them to the other dealership in half the time of your employees.

As opposed to selling them with salt water flood damage?
