That sure is a good question, I talked about that with my buddies last week.
Being in NJ, I haven't ever had to face that situatuion.
If I was ever in a place where I had to evacuate, I don't know what I'd try
to take. I have 4 antique cars and only one car trailer. I'd probably put
one on the trailer, have the wife drive another, pray for the other antiques
and leave all of the other newer cars there, they are always replaceable.
This reminds me of a time I was on a mail lists for Dodge Dakotas at the
beginning of 1998 to find out some stuff about my new truck. One guy was in
a hurricane and was happy that a tree came down and crushed his 'cuda and by
that happening, it saved his new dakota. Now that's a sign of a sick mind.
I'd rather have the dakota trashed and go to the dealer and get a new one.
