Thanks Rita.....i'm outta here

[GPRacer]

Shit, well, looks like I'm runnin away from this one. We're not going to chance it. I mean the storms have gotten into the "R" names this year..that's enough for me!!

Unfortunately we're probably leaving my GP behind...

probably going to load up my dad's bigrig with shit and move on out.

I know i'll at very minimum put the GP in the garage, and up on jackstands to raise it a good 3-4 more feet.
Shit this sucks guys..this is my first car, i'm still 17, and i dropped 3G's into it this summer and still haven't gotten to enjoy it fully, and now I have to leave it behind.

At very worst it'll get flooded. I don't have an interior right now anyway, so i'll be unhooking my battery for sure.
But if worst happens, and my tranny/engine flood, i'm already starting to build a new motor, so it'll just put a damper on things.

But looks like either thursday mid-day or friday early morning i'm running to Fort Worth...

I live north of Corpus...which is where it's projected to hit...they keep saying either towards corpus, or towards houston, well I'm north of CC, so yea, this sucks

Hurricanes are serious this year. Good Luck.

Yeah, good idea on getting the hell out of there. Hopefully damage wont be too bad but im hearing cat 5 again...and thats never good.

From the National Hurricane Center : Hurricane Rita is now the 3rd strongest storm in recorded history. And it continues to grow and gain strength. Hell, it went from a Cat 1 to a Cat 5 in ~27 hrs. Yeah, there is gonna be some more coastal destruction.

if i was a religous guy, i'd say god just plain doesn't want us to have oil. The stuff in the mid-east, then 20 of our oil rigs dissapeard in Kat, now i hear Rita is headed for our largest refinery.

that sux that you cant get your car outta here, i'm guessing its in a state of inoperablity.

Not to biblical or anything. But if you think about it, I think you are right.

Oil is Black, cancer causing goo buried thousands of feet in the ground. It causes war and the destruction of our planet and it's inhabited life. Not to mention that at this rate, I think our dependancy on the stuff will lead to the demise of life as we know it.

I think that it was meant to be left in the ground. Sounds pretty biblical, eh?
