Had to leave it in my garage when we evacuated Metairie (suburb of New Orleans) on Saturday. 3 cars and 2 drivers, Had to bring the SUV to tow the boat, which we stuffed full of stuff, and the wife wouldn't leave her Mini Cooper...

It's lookin pretty grim down there (I am at my cousins place in Shreveport).

Best of luck man. Hope it turns out better than expected. And the FD can always be replaced. But come on, get that wife of yours in line!

 

ditto

 

haha i'll feel the same way but if it goes it goes, i dont wanna be there and go with it

 

sorry to hear that......katrina just passed us but it is nothing compared to what you guys are gonna get. i went thru andrew in south florida and looks like katrina will be the same. stay safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, stay safe. Cars can be replaced, people can not.

 

ouch. leave behind the car that isnt being produced anymore to bring the car that you can still buy new. it doesnt make sense.

 

You must not be married!

Damn, and it was running extremely good too. Still, it may survive!

Mike

 

concur.. hope she survives..
insurance return would most likely be better for the new mini than the fd...

 

Can I say:

 

AMEN!

 

It should have been a financial desicion, I'm sure you FD is worth more, tell her to replace it when she gets back...

 

That makes no fooking sense. She can go into a dealership and get a new Cooper next week - you can't exactly do that with an RX-7.

So we have 1 whipped husband, and 1 stupid wife.

 

you are right. i cower in fear of the ring!!

i hope you at least get home to find a savable car...

 

hahha you probably have full coverage on the mini but not the 7 HAHAHAHHAHAHAH, im kidding its not funny at all, hopefully it makes it.

 

sorry dude, but i think your FD is under water now...that sucks

 

there is no love.

 

that sucks you had to do that and experience that ****. I would never live down there because of that, plus it is humid as hell.

 

i would be crying dude, knowing that my FD is drenched in water, while the minicooper is staying at least dry on the inside. at least you'll have no cooling problems on the FD at the moment

 

I don't know if i could have done that. They still make mini's. Anyways hope it stay's dry. When i lived in FL we put my buddy's SRT up on blocks and it was just high enough to get the tires wet, if it had stayed on the ground well you get the picture. I hope she's sitting there all pritty when you get back.

 

hope its ok. but most important you guys were smart and left.

 

I would have put a tow bar on the FD and pulled the Mini..

at the same time with a whole state being evacuated. i think i could of found some one to drive the Mini..

 

rosrex7 your avitar is bitching

 

Trade in your wife.

 

Wow, you have only yourself to blame if your FD is ruined.
