Default keeping your car safe from the hurricane..

Just like the title says what are you guys doing to keep your gs safe from the hurricane... I had to clean out the garage put everything in the basement so I could get the gs in there...

Hope everything you shoved in the basement is worth less than the few grand a GS is worth? I'd be way more worried about my basement flooding then something happening to the ol' GS.

Otherwise I hope it turns out not as bad up your way as the preparations are for. What part of NY are you in???

If parking outside was my only option, I would take thick blankets I didn't particularly care for and bungee cord them onto the car.

Don't have a GS. But, I put my two Lexi' in the garage. The Honda will be out on the driveway, I'm kind of hoping something falls on it so that I can pick up an SC400.

She's in the Garage. the wind here is ridiculous right now. and she hasn't even hit land yet, 2 hrs. till she arrives. i'm in Richmond Hill Queens. had the car parked in front of the house until 12:00 and then decided to move her to safety.

happy i put the car in the garage there were branches all over my driveway and empty garbage cans were flying.... lost my electric for a couple days... but that was nothing compared to the people in rockaway, howard beach, broad channel, hamilton beach, even if they had there car in the garage its destroyed... forget about the car they cant even recover their house... **** sucks over there right now....
