Well due to circumstances beyond my control my beloved S2000 will be braving a category 4 strength hurricane in the open. I am hunkering down and hoping for the best.

I survived Isador with only leaves... I sure hope Lili is as kind.

 

good luck cars can be replaced people can not....

 

Good luck. Lili is supposed to be a lot worse than Isidore. Category 4 = winds of 140+ MPH!!!

 

I'll keep it in my garage for ya. Sure, the hurricane might hit here too, but at least it'll be covered.

 

I agree with you Bass! That is why this thread is about my S2000 braving Lili outside and not me

 

ship your car to a shop on the west coast! and tell them to ship it back once the ordeal is over! well.. good luck! hope you and your S and your family (maybe?) will survive unharmed.

 

Thanks for the vote about the family. My parents (who live in a trailer) and my sister (first year sorority girl freshman at LSU) went to the usual hurricane party spot Lots of friends and family gather at a relative's house. They have full generator backup for weeks and a gameroom for the kids.

Worst yet to come... Everthing should be OK.

 

I'm praying for you man... I'm a Tulane University grad so I know how easily it can flood there. One year, when a tropical storm blew through, it was surreal to see most of the campus underwater and cars completely flooded.

Stay safe and remember its just a car that can be replaced.

 

Hang in there, S2K_LA. I assume you are near New Orleans or Baton Rouge. Hope you are reading this on your traveling laptop, and not at home. These S2000's are tough, and probably can survive hurricanes. We human beings are fragile, and not covered by insurance. Best of luck.

 

Not sure where you are, but try to find a concrete public parking garage. Park on the highest floor that's still covered (not on the roof obviously).

My previous car survived a 115mph hurricane (Erin, 1998, Pensacola, FL) outdoors, with no damage. Just keep it away from the trees, and try to keep it behind a windbreak. I actually moved it when the eye went over, knowing that the winds would shift 180 degrees.

Another time I dodged a hailstorm with 15 seconds to spare by high-tailing it to a parking garage by the mall when a hail warning came on the news (in Orlando at the time). I parked the car and had walked 20 feet when the ice started hitting the ground.
