[polara71]

Thats it? A dodge ? Nothing more? model? year? Notta?

 

[70NPORT]

It's a 70' e body

 

[polara71]

I dont see that at all......... so your a closet e-body guy. If you really gave a damn about that C you'd drag that Challenger out of there and tuck that Chrysler in the dry.

 

[70NPORT]

Lol, your too much.
No, I just need more space but just can't swing it at the moment. My C is on my mind more than the E. Long story short the E is a "works" in progress car. Can't be move and I had it long before I got the Newport. Trust me I've got butterflies in my stomach cause the Newport is going to have to ride it out in the elements. I thought about taking it over to Philly and leaving it in an underground parking garage while the storm comes through but I can't stand it being out of my sight too long and that far away, all though it would be totally protected from mother nature. I may park it between house though. The E is probably going to end up being my retirement plan years down the road.

Sunday morning and not too bad...........raining and wind gusts to 35mph. The weather report is forecasting 50"+ of snow in the mountains of western Maryland. Monday night is suppose to be the peak of the hurricane for my area.

 

[70NPORT]

Yup, I just checked that too. Although we are not getting any rain where I am just yet. I see on the news, the mayor of NYC is considering shutting down the entire NYC subway system.

 

[polara71]

What if they're wrong?

 

[70NPORT]

EXACTLY.....

although that area is at or below sea level I think.

 

[polara71]

Yes it is, I would think most subways on the east coast are below sea level. What about your underground garage? Isnt that below sea level? If the Delaware spills over philly has a problem

 

[70NPORT]

The entire lower half of Manhattan I believe is below sea level, so than you have the subway system below that...so I would think that makes it especially worrisome for the city.

Yes, your are right, Philly will have some decisions to make in that scenario.

As for me, the development is built atop of plateau of sorts, overlooking all things south and westward. My basement makes the Sahara look like the tropics....so as we speak I'm in my backyard digging furiously with one eye skyward.

 

[polara71]

Why, you gonna bury the car?

 

[70NPORT]

Here it comes....
