mrstak, where in NYC are you located? Any water damage to your car?

You may be able to salvage your electronics if it was submerged in fresh water. Make sure everything is completely dry before powering up again. If it was salt water, just give up and toss it out now.

 

I would buy a new power supply for sure. I wouldn't want a fire to start if something went wrong in there. If water seeped in to the hard drive it is trash too. I would rinse the computer in clean water and leave it in the sun for at least a few days. Works with phones so it might work with a desktop too. You might get lucky.

 

live in brooklyn. evac zone A. same as irene but irene only had rain and wind. sandy was high tide with wind and no rain. if it was raining too, i'm sure it would've been floor to ceiling of water in my basement.

car is fine. was able to drive it out through some small pools of water when i was evac'ing to my cousins house. saw so much flooding and broken trees. also when i came back the next day, someone tried to jimmy open my front door. fucking scumbags. one of my front door locks is messed up but the other one and my inner door are fine.

 

jersey is in shambles... i kid you not... we're fucked, and expecting snow next week... still no power. 10 hours at work today... we were so packed it was insane

 

Watching the long gas lines in NJ on the news. Happy to write my moms house in Toms River, my husbands sister house in Seaside Park and my brothers house in Stone Harbor are ok. My moms house lost power for only a hour.

 

When Ike hit, I was without power for 13 days.
hang in there.

 

Morning guys

 

Hey Joe

 

If anyone is interested, Eibach has some pics up of SEMA 2012. No Acura/Honda content though.

Hey simon!

 

Hey nj2pa2nc

 

Does anyone here drive their automatic with 2 feet? One for gas one for brake? I drove like this for about 5 years. With a lot of practice I now drive the right way with only one foot. My dad and sister both drive 2 footed.

 

^inaccurate drives like that.
here's the back story; he has a Lightened TL.
that thing zooms from 0-60 in 5 secs or less.

He's mentioned that he uses two feet but doesnt advocate it to the general pop.

 

Yeah I can see the majority of people messing up driving like that. I consider myself to be a great driver in the and am extremely aware of whats going on and everything around me. I never once accidentally pressed the wrong pedal or had any confusion about it. The brake for the firebird was also pretty stiff so it was difficult to accidentally ride the brake and gas at the same time. Also in that car I was sitting only a few inches above the floor so the pedals were really comfortable to let both feet rest on them.

 

Good morning fellow Sandy-survivors and Acura enthusiasts alike. First day back in the office and first day connected to the world. Not much else to report aside from having no power. Car has a big fat scratch on the hood from a power line hitting the roof, but it good be worse.


P.s. justn, I laughed when I read your post about the IT guys. Lol, what sites do you go on

 

hey sandpaper!
glad you're back and safe!

get insurance to cover that scratch! lol
and I try not to browse dirty sites, butt sometimes, things just happen.
Good thing the IT are my friends and will tell me if i'm doing anything "bad"
they were just trolling me.

 

lol this foo da fei ghey at work

 

I only drive with one foot in automatic but when I switch from driving my car to an auto I always stomp on the non existent clutch when I start the car lol. I have almost put the car in park going like 20 mph cause my brain was downshifting. Good thing they put locks on for that stuff haha.

 

^lol i do that too.
since mine isnt a daily driver, when i switch vehicles i always search for the non existent clutch pedal

 

Welcome back Sandpaper! I have had similar experience in autos where I accidentally stomped on the brake pedal thinking it was the clutch at 70 MPH on the highway at the same time too the car out of drive into neutral. Felt like such a douche and not mention the pain my in neck.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! I think Sandy has taught me one thing: I need to move to Texas.

P.s. did anyone see the ILX's at SEMA? Haha, don't you wish you guys jumped on the new car bandwagon? lol, jk. Hope everyone else is well. P.Dave, I'm glad the diesel didn't ignite and that you're ok.

 

has anyone heard from ISeeYouTwo?

 

^texas gets more hurricanes than the east coast.
Just sayin'

 

Yea, but I want to be in Austin, Dallas, or Fort Worth.

 

DFW gets a lot of tornados/hail. I'm in a garage at work and covered parking at home so my car stays safe almost all the time.

I would probably choose Austin if you don't mind the humidity. Always stuff to do and events going on. Harder to find a job (at least for me) there than DFW. I really like downtown Fort Worth. I have a friend who lives downtown and we always walk around at night. Dallas is alright if you live in a suburb like Richardson. I'm still getting used to having so many ghetto areas scattered around.

 

fun vid i took last night and forgot to post here

 

Thanks for the insight. Looks like there is no real "safe" area in the US. Maybe Chicago?

 

poor TL!! BTW, have you noticed that in a lot of the flooded cars, the trunks are open?!

 

car died to day. R.I.P. 1.3 years of ownership.

 

Story?

 

today*

 

I'm good bro, thanks for asking! Nothing really went down in MA except for power lines, thankfully. Although my Security company partnered up with Nstar to secure sites where power lines went down while they weren't around, so I picked up a good 20 hours @ $30 / hr in two days. Thank you Sandy!!!


Hopefully all is well on your side!!

 

:crabby:

 

Oh yeah, saw Cwins again LOL that foo scrapes haha
Justin is Gee gonna be there on sunday as well?
