Hey Jim!! I just talked to OOH YEAH. He said I can have your S/S brake lines this time. They'll work well with your wheels (which I got during Frances) Just checked the radar, it looks FOOKI-NUGLY
O well....spent the day yesterday moving all my equipment @ work because I lost the north wall during Frances...Today....tying everything down and boarding up. I think I'm gonna paint windows and flowers on the plywood, so it at least LOOKS normal around here.
Take care everyone.hope to see everyone again @ Ecklers in a few weeks!!

P.S. Yea, FEMA does cover this. But, remember, FEMA stands for Friends Equalize Mods & Accessories!!!!

WHY you ask??? The reason has to do with Trailer Parks..WT and Busch beer. Obviously that combination is offending the powers that be!!!!!!!!!!

Stay safe and dry.

I have yet to confirm this however my neighbor told me that FEMA is reimbursing people for buying generators, fuel costs and the food they lost in the storms? Has anybody heard this? I'm just running a smaller 5250watt that runs verything BUT my A/C

Thank goodness I took my Wet Okole seat covers out or they would be gone by now.

I've decided to become a plywood/battery/bottled water distributor and make enough to buy a couple more Vettes. Then keep them away from OOH YEAH.

Come race with us on 10/9....It will be a blast!!!

I too am curious about the FEMA reimbursement for the generator. But, I can tell you that the winds are getting out of control and things are flying everywhere and it's getting worse by the minute.
Godspeed to all in the path of this hurricane.

When, where, what time, I need directions!!!! Looks like were gonna be ok with this storm. Seems it will stay far enough south of me. We will get tropical storm force winds, but not hurricane force. At least we're hoping so. You folks should be fairly unaffected up there. Stay safe everyone!!!!

Well it appears that the eye has come ashore just 50 miles north of me in Stuart (Jason at Autogeek, you ok?) . News shows alot of additional damage. I cannot wait to see my homeowners/flood premiums for next year ! This is what we get for not paying State Income Tax I suppose ....

Wouldn't it be more like 75-80 miles from you (Margate)?. I know from where I am its about 70 miles.

Broward County got lucky again!!!! I think it was that Northern Jog at the Bahamas that helped us out. I was tracking the latitude. It was at 26.4 (approx Brow/Palm Beach county line) the night before it hit. It hit at 27.3 (exactly where Francis hit!!!). That a big difference!!! Was without power for only 10 hrs. Now I gotta make sure Maroone Del Ray made it through ok cause thats where my car is. Normally, I wouldn't worry about a dealership
