SoCal is BURNING. So is my Vette
 
With the fires raging in Southern California, I am wondering what I would do if I were given an order to evacuate and had less than half an hour. I own an '06 C6 and a truck. I live alone. Would I fill my truck with stuff or take many fewer items and leave with my 'vette. I have a trailer hitch on my truck but no trailer. What would you do?

Have the truck pull the vette... you need to keep something like that around..

I would get a freind to drive the truck behind the vette.....good luck

No question about it, the Corvette would be packed and leave.:thumbs:

That's a tough one. If I were out there, I think I would try and get the vette to a safe place and go back and wait for the evac order.

take the truck - use the insurance to buy an 08

good luck to you, but if you have good insurance, leave the vette collect the money and order a 08

it's only a car....pack the truck with essentials and things that are irreplaceable....sacrifice the vette to nature and buy a new with the insurance money.....

Leave the Vette? Most people insure their cars for actual cash value so you might end up having to come out of pocket to buy a new Vette. I'd be prepared....if there's a possibility of having to bug out I'd load the Vette now and get it to 'high ground' then hitch a ride home and have the truck loaded and ready to roll. I hope it doesn't come to that though....good luck.

I would probably pack my personal possessions in the truck and leave. The sentimental value of my guns, tools, momentos, and other stuff would be significant. The vette would be replaced with a new one.

rent a 2 wheels trailer and tow your vette with the truck...uhaul has it

I also have a truck & a Vette. I am guessing the truck & all my things would be crispy, while I was looking for a new place to live & park my unburned Corvette.

And since the OP said pack & go in less than a half hour, I don't think loading up a truck is much of an option.

Thats a nice Vette get a trailer.

bocabob 10-23-2007 08:38 PM

Truck and Vette here too. I would take the Avalanche, fill it with what I could. My loaded 05 is only worth what? 38K?.. I have gap insurance so the Vette would have to stay.. Sucks either way for you man. I pray things work out for you.:sadangel:

Sat777 10-23-2007 08:40 PM

I'll make it easy for ya. Just park the Vette in my garage until i'm done... I mean until the fires are done with.;)
