My former vehicle, a 500-hp modified '03 Cobra would have never made it.
Wow. What tires do you have on yours? I have the Pilots, and didn't push my luck. Chi-Town SRT/6 did not have as good of luck with his Pilots. I'm glad you and your Crossfire made it home safely.
Mine was at the dealership Saturday during the day, and I picked it up around noon, just as freezing rain started. At last count, Tulsa now has 240,000 homes without electricity. The hospitals are running on generators, and the airport
just got power. I spent this morning at the Tulsa Air National Guard base (which also does not have power), prepping my squadron's vehicles for emergency disaster relief deployment. The town is nearly silent. When I walk outside in my pitch black neighborhood, I hear what sounds like far off gunfire, 360 degrees around me, as snapping tree branches break the silence. It's eery.
Somehow, Oklahoma State University's Tulsa campus did not lose power. So today I'm in my office, staying warm and enjoying the forum. It looks like the Crossfire won't be leaving the garage for a few weeks.
Good luck to everyone affected by this wicked weather. Stay safe!
