You'd probably want to give it back to its old owner after paying your first fuel bill, though. Mr. Green CAR HISTORY

Wondering how come the disco airbags went off, did it crash get thrown there with occupants driving Shocked



Seawater probably shorted to whole electrical system out, so it wont only be the airbags that went off, the lots probably gone off too Shocked
Or maybe the airbags are designed to act as a floatation system when a tsunami strikes?

Well, all I can say is, "bring on the locusts" at this point. Mr. Green

We went from tropical weather and a hurricane to - brace yourselves - SNOW in a week. We're now in the midst of a massive coastal storm that has dropped about 8 inches of wet snow in the same area where the hurricane struck last week. At my house, we got electricity back just last night and lost it again tonight.

I'm not sure how familiar anyone here is with coastal New Jersey, but we rarely get snow. And when we do, it's in a short window in late January to early February, for the most part. This is one of the oddest things I've ever seen!

I'm making just a bit of fun out of it. I finally got to use the snow setting, and it was quite fun, except for the low-hanging power lines. Exclamation

As for my family's home on the island, we received 7 inches of water, so had to throw out the area rugs and some furniture/clothing - but no structural damage to the house and the hardwood floors seemed quite resilient with some cleaning. Didn't touch the heating vents or affect any of the appliances, so the expensive stuff was all spared. CAR HISTORY
