We made it just fine where i live. Not much wind at all and no flooding. Just a lot of steady rain. East of here as you start toward North Carolina is a different story. Don't know if there was much wind but flooding is a real problem in small towns in the mountains as you get closer to NC. I-40 is blocked in both directions right now. Below are photos my daughter sent me of I-40 near the TN and NC border. The river along there has cut under the pavement and washed all the dirt away. The hillside on the opposite side of the road is a solid rock wall so there is no cutting it down to move the highway over. It will probably be months before that stretch of highway is fully open again.

Ronnie, are you and your family OK vs. hurricane Helene?

Ronnie, the weather has not turned cold yet just ran out of places to drive the Reatta for this year. I'll switch over to the '00 Eldorado until the snow flies. Dave, I drove a whopping 453 miles in the Reatta this year!! I will most likely put a couple thousand next year driving round trip to the BCA Nationals next year along with local stuff.

How many miles did you put on it this year Ship? I plan on driving the Red about another month or so which will be when it needs an oil change. Then the Regal full time through the winter.

Is the weather turning cold already up there the reason for putting it in storage? I'm still waiting for the leaves to begin turning around here. That's my favorite time of year for driving here in TN.

Well, today (09/28/2024) I put the '91 Reatta in the igloo for storage 'til April 2025. I took it to its last cruise-in for the current season yesterday. Detail it, filled it with gas and seafoam, hooked up the battery tender, and placed the covered on it. Current mileage is 111019 and continues to run like a top. Current thinking is that I plan to drive it to the 2025 BCA Nationals in Concord, NC in July.
