  Thanks Per and everybody on the staff. Its rough contemplating everything I lost, but now I definitely have some cool car-guy shirts to wear. The outpouring of support from my friends and family, even those far away, has just been tremendous. Honestly losing almost everything I had might be the best thing that ever happened to me, because I might not have realized how many truly fantastic friends I have. I know everything is going to be alright, because with friends like mine, Superman has nothing on me; I'm invincible.

  I can send you a box of random spare parts, things ranging from Miata to Merkur, MG to VW if you need to feel a little more human.

  Its hard to ask for stuff, when my needs are met. It feels greedy to ask for anything above the necessities. I have a place to stay, I have clothes and toiletries. There's always going to be stuff I want, but I can't and don't expect people to just send me stuff. My current set of RT615s is about shot, I was hoping to upgrade to some 15x7s so I can try some of the new hot tires, but you know, thats nothing I NEED. I appreciate the intent, though.

  I love adjustable wrenches. They make a great hammer for hitting screwdrivers being used as chisels.

  Tennessee just had some very bad flooding (that's really an understatement). We live on somewhat of a hill, so didn't take on water, but many around us did including our inlaws. It's been a crazy couple of weeks.

  Wowak, our societal needs are different from our survival needs. Let us know anything else that you need.

  seriously, I don't have a ton of stuff to offer. I can help refurnish a house if you need. I have a small Ikea side table that I can ship you if you want it. It is black wood. Perfect condition. I need it out of my apartment.

  I figure I'll get another month or so out of these, but we'll see. Longer if the rain settles down.

  Have the official GRM water wings come out yet? Im thinking some of us might need those come "H" season (dont say the word, dont, you will be smited! ) and from the sounds of it, Wowak could use a set as well...

  who am I and how did i get here?

  I lived through the last round of hurricanes in FL without taking water damage, just to lose all my stuff in Tennessee? WTF is that about?
