Im sorry to hear about your losses.... Ive already donated $75 and I wish there was something I could give you personally.
I have a really good friend that is from N.O. Hes in Little Rock Arkansas right now at a Red Cross shelter.
My thoughts are with you.

as long as you and your family is ok, then everything will be ok, if your car is still there whenever you get back, drain the fluids, let the machine dry out good, refill and I bet money she'll start right up......
as for those looters..... WTF, somebody seriously needs to go f them up, the national guard carry's friggin m4's or something right?, I'm sure its been a while since they shot at anything besides non moving targets, they should have some fun doing the exterminating...

I think that from what I have heard from the guys down there, the Miliytary is on the way. I think it took them by suprise and they are doing the best they can! At least that is my hope and I am praying for a lot of hevy hitters to start laying the smack down soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man there is so much bad stuff going on they need to start taking a verry hard stance.
They have deputised and armed the Firemen -because they are getting shot at-! As the water goes down the looters are gettin into more and more stuff. They are talking about floding the area I live in on purpose to try and drain the city. There are roumers that we may never be able to go home because the area may be TOXIC when its all said and done? I dont even care about my house but HAVE SO MANNY FRIENDS from the area that I have not heard from. I am verry woried about them. My wife and I would like to go and salvage what we can from the house, after that we dont plan on ever going back!
On a lighter note - Anyone got a reco for me on a nice place to live? Looking for a low chrime - low chance of natural disaster area? At some point our gipsy life style will come to an end and we will settle down somewhere? hanks again for the well wishes Guys.
PS - Pray for the hero's that are still down there fightin for whats right. If you want to do something to help just go threw the red cross and places like that.

It will be many years b4 I can ever even think about a rec car again! I have heard it’s so bad down there I may never return. Just cash in the insurance. Pay the Bills and start over somewhere else. What you guys are seeing on the news is propaganda BS!. It’s like a 3rd world county war in the City right now. Armed mobs of looters rapin and killin at will. Dead bodies floating everywhere. The cops where left to fend for themselves with NO leadership or communication. The federal government finally got involved today and they are brining in troops. My cousin is a NOPD Cop and that’s where I am getting the info from. Anyway - that’s enough of my rant. Thanks again for the help in the past guys. Lata, Arkangel77
Godspeed.

I work for FEMA , more than likely you will eligible for assistance. call this number and register. 1-800-621-3362 The faster you register the faster you'll get assistance.
natural disasters happen everywhere unfortunatey, i would just check the floodplain map wherever you're planning on moving to and check the drainage systems, etc.
Florida's a cool place, just make sure your inland. If you don't mind the climate here, this place is awesome.

Ark, sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm almost in the same boat. I live in Long Beach, MS. Everything was wiped out worse then Camille. Fortunately I still have my car, my family, and my house. We were blessed, but I am definately feeling your pain. I'm experiencing the disaster along with you. Best of luck to you and hopefully gas doesn't get much more higher or it won't do me any good that i still have my car.

Had to reply and at least give you some hope. Up here at one of the GM training centers, we had a donor car from the Miss. area during the "Great flood." The thing of it was, that there was no water inside the engine. It was bone dry. The theory was that since the intake and exhaust was almost at the same level, that as the water rose, the pressure equalized and thus made an air pocket inside the engine. All they did was drain the fluids and replace them, as well as the plugs and ignition. The thing fired right up and purred like a kitten. Hopefully you can pick up where you left off and get back to a normal life. We're all praying for you.

Ark, I am sorry for you losses. I am glad you and your family got out of there in time. Iraq does not seem so bad now that I hear and see what has happened to so many families across the south. You are in our thoughts and prayers here.

I am terribly sorry to hear about your misfortune as well as that of many many others in that area. I have donated to the Red Cross and am going to do something here to help you out as I know what it is like to have your back against the wall. I am going to donate to you a complete hot side to our Hi Flo Turbo Systems "Street Killer" system. I know you may not need it for your car at the moment, but there are many members of this board that would like to purchase it. Our policy is and shall remain that we do not sell just hot parts or cold parts. I would suggest you auction it off or sell it outright and give half to a charitable organization involved in the relief/rescue effort and keep the other half to help get your life back on track. You can reach me at the shop at 1-847-640-7305.

Hunting down cops and firemen that are trying to help? We would be glad to leave Iraq and go to Louisiana to protect the innocent civilians that just want a chance to regroup and start over. We are already trained and battle tested for the last 10 months.

Ark, why don't you post up what you do for a living. Maybe someone from the Ls1tech can help you with finding a job. From there you can work on a new home.
Sorry to hear about everything and good luck
