I hope you guys are doing ok out there. Sounds pretty nasty from what I hear, read and see on the tube. My brother and sister are in from dc.
Pretty nasty----
You guys keeping the fine rides dry?
Any casualities of floods (ti)?
I'm in northern michigan now. The roads are HORRIBLE to say the least. Ever seen two track black top? ~~ Perfect timing with the bilstein sport install. No way I can lower her up here.
anyway -
Keep em' dry boys.....

We've had some really sucky weather the past three months around here. I just got new tires on my car which is a big plus with all this rain. In Boston alone they set a record going back to 1872,something like 25.6 inches of rain in 2 months. Thats more than half of the rain they get in a year. We had almost 2 days of sun on monday and yuesday,1st time in 6 days i saw the sun. I think washington,dc got 12 inches of rain in one day yesterday or the day before,thats nutz. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

I'm about a block from the mandatory evacuations at lake needwood.
I picked up a new set of tires and put down a nice waxjob right before the big rains hit - Tooling around in the rain is just as much fun as tooling around on dry land. Tooling around in 20ft of water, however, is not something I'm looking forward to (if the dam breaks) __________________  | | | | | 06-28-2006, 11:23 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Virginia Posts: 247 |
No real problems here persoally, but it was raining so hard on the interstate outside of Roanoke, VA that traffic was stopped. Plenty of flooding all around, an 8 year old girl was washed away in my home town... they still haven't found her... __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

well.. my search for a Ti may have just gotten accelerated... put my tiburon into a ditch last night while driving in a torrential downpour... really messed the front of the car up bad.
KBB still says it is worth 5 grand.. so between that and couple I have saved, I may be officially joining your ranks soon. | | | | |
