IML: Building an Ark for my '62

[Joe Strickland <jwstrick426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I live in Grayson County, TX which made the national news with 
associated floods on Monday this week.  Our rains started on Saturday 
the 16th. with 3 inches (7.62 cm) and then on Monday we had 8.8 inches 
(22.35 cm) and then this morning we had 1.6 inches (4.06 cm) for a total 
of 13.4 inches (34.04 cm) to date.  There is a creek at the entrance to 
our property and I constructed my private road.  Our house is 1/4 mile 
from the county road.  The creek has gotten over my road three times so 
far this Spring and is badly damaged.  I have a John Deere 5105 tractor 
with a front end scoop which I used to build the road.  I have a pile of 
gravel that I keep on hand.  This time so much damage was done to my 
road that I will have to wait until things are thoroughly dried out to 
do any repairs.

I laid down gravel to access a neighbor's road in order to get out late 
yesterday.  Our private road will have to have some modifications made 
to improve the water flow.

My back-up plan is to start building an Ark.  It must house not only my 
wife and I plus my RV but also the new '07 Dodge pickup and my '62 
Imperial.  Lets see, just how big would an Ark have to be to house one 
example of each year of productions Imperials?  Or, how about adding the 
Chrysler, De Soto, Dodge cars and Plymouth from beginning to now?

The '62 Imperial is still high and dry in my barn!  Ron was right when 
he mentioned small garages in Europe.  Most modern American homes have 
garages that an Imperial will not fit into either!  When we had our 
current house built I specified a 24' long garage so I could park my 
long bed quad cab pickup inside.  The Imperial would fit with room to spare.
