I feel you pain. I haven't been able to see first hand yet, but I think my "DRM RYD" 04 coupe, MSGM has been flooded by Katrina the B.... I my home in New Orleans has anywhere from 4 to 10 ft of water by all reports. DRM RYD was garaged at home. Family safe and all acounted for. Feeling Blessed.
Good Luck to all those affected by Katrina

I wondered when we'd start hearing these sad stories...

At least, like you said, your family is out and safe.. you can always get another new Vette (but with an 04, yours was new!)

I feel bad for you folks down there...Good luck and God Bless you all.

Sad but it can be replaced or repaired better than new.
