Katrina ate my FD?
Had to leave it in my garage when we evacuated Metairie (suburb of New Orleans) on Saturday. 3 cars and 2 drivers, Had to bring the SUV to tow the boat, which we stuffed full of stuff, and the wife wouldn't leave her Mini Cooper...
It's lookin pretty grim down there (I am at my cousins place in Shreveport).

insurance return would most likely be better for the new mini than the fd...

That makes no fooking sense. She can go into a dealership and get a new Cooper next week - you can't exactly do that with an RX-7.So we have 1 whipped husband, and 1 stupid wife.

i would be crying dude, knowing that my FD is drenched in water, while the minicooper is staying at least dry on the inside. at least you'll have no cooling problems on the FD at the moment

I don't know if i could have done that. They still make mini's. Anyways hope it stay's dry. When i lived in FL we put my buddy's SRT up on blocks and it was just high enough to get the tires wet, if it had stayed on the ground well you get the picture. I hope she's sitting there all pritty when you get back.

I would have put a tow bar on the FD and pulled the Mini.. 
at the same time with a whole state being evacuated. i think i could of found some one to drive the Mini..
