    For those of you guys living in the path of Hurricane Sandy, is your Challenger safe?

    I live in NJ and we are expected to be the hurricane's bullseye.

    I don't have a garage, so I rented one for one week for $100. I thought that it was a smart investment with wind gusts estimated to hit 75 mph.

    Keep your ass safe, the car can be replaced!

    See you are still online, I take that as a good sign so far!

    Let us know how the storm is...

    Good luck!

    Thanks. I'm about 55 miles from the Atlantic coast. I heard that gusts there are 75-100 mph! It is expect to hit us in about 2 hrs.

    You have to have a sense of humor about it.

    Here is a funny Ron White clip.

    We lucked out. No damages and no loss of power!

    Overall, in the tri-state area (NJ/PA/DE) 3 million are without power and the coastal towns were flooded.

    Glad to hear you are okay. I tried to get into this last night and it was dead. Thought the host lost power. Guess not.

    Water Damaged

    Sometimes it's impossible to keep your Challenger safe. I just heard of a sad story where a 2012 SRT and a 2010 SRT, with a 750hp 426 SC Hemi, were totally submerged in 5 feet of water while parked in an underground garage near the East River in New York. :mfr_omg:

    What a disaster! I would cry!!
