Turbo II Saved From Definate Destruction!

Well, i'm over in central jersey, and as you probably all know, we got somewhat hit by the hurricane. We've had a bunch of furniture in my garage on one side because when my dad moved to his g/f's house, he let us have the furniture, and all of it has been moved to the basement except for one huge couch. My FC gets parked in the driveway outside of the garage, and my moms car is in the garage in the leftover space. I knew the hurricane was coming and all, and I didn't want a bunch of branches and stuff falling on it, so i spent like forever figuring out places to put this couch so I could fit the car in. Finally, I got it in just the right spot, and pulled in my car. There was pretty strong winds here, not that strong, but when I woke up in the morning, a huge old tree that resides right next to our driveway fell right across where my car would have been. This was no light tree either, it was a monster. I'll try and take pics before it gets all cut up and moved away if I can. I got lucky as hell!

Like I tell everyone else, true gear heads have a 6 th sense about car stuff. Somewhere in your brain you knew that a tree (or something larger) was going to fall on your car. Way to use your instincts.

Wow, great job in saving your car, especially since you've not had it long right?
