Hurricane bearing down, what is everyone doing with their cars? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

ndubz · 08-27-2011, 02:58 PM

We managed to get 4 cars into our 3 car garage, and will be positioning the Sti against the house. I wrote up a little article on Hurricane prep on my blog:

But my question is what are all of you doing with your cars? did anyone else have to do something clever? Share what you came up with.

Renegade_ · 08-27-2011, 03:08 PM

Foolinaround · 08-27-2011, 03:29 PM

Widebody · 08-27-2011, 03:34 PM

My mr2 is in the garage where it lives. My POS Honda v-tak is out side parked under a big dead tree. Fingers crossed! I want the insurance money.

Progressive emailed me yesterday with a kind " we got your back" message...i'm not worried. If something happens, that's why I pay them.

dumpleRL · 08-27-2011, 03:40 PM

under a basketball hoop that hasnt been used in 10 years behind a car on jackstands, in the driveway gulley.... and its plastic so it might just float away i dunno

sleepersatty99 · 08-27-2011, 03:43 PM

parking it on the street under my neighbors tree (where I always park) and hoping it falls. lol

lownslow95 · 08-27-2011, 03:46 PM

Parked the BMW, my car, and my moms car in the garage. My dad is praying a tree falls on his car so he doesn't have to sell it and just collect the insurance money on it. But thats not gonna happen lol.

yea thats what they sent me too lol. I gotta protect my miata though cuz the deductible is a large percentage of the car's value and they wouldn't pay me much for it. So that's why the sti is outside, cuz it's worth more lol wierd thinking? Maybe

fitftw · 08-27-2011, 04:19 PM

my baby is safe from the elements for weekend.

Jagermeister · 08-27-2011, 04:49 PM

Leaving it outside where it belongs, who cares. Just park it on a hill.

yellow2000S/R · 08-27-2011, 05:02 PM

It hardly moves under its own power from oil starvation... Full coverage and leaving it out under the tree in the yard LOL. To bad its a 16" thick cherry tree so its not moving.

OverBoostedEvo · 08-27-2011, 05:18 PM

i put a car cover on the evo and left it in the driveway

Sublime1304 · 08-27-2011, 05:27 PM

In the garage staying clean

boostedfury · 08-27-2011, 05:50 PM

Parked in front of my house with the cover on it and praying it stays safe.

Chris B. · 08-27-2011, 06:09 PM

Its sitting out in the driveway without the cover on. Its going to be no worse than a typical large spring/summer rain storm here.

DPancoast · 08-27-2011, 06:14 PM

In the parking lot outside of our apt far away from trees. Just need to keep an eye on the storm drain

inteva6184 · 08-27-2011, 06:30 PM

In the garage where its always at.
