Talked to a buddy in San Antonio last night. According to him, thousands and thousands of people fled Katrina's path and are holed up in hotels in and around Houston, Dallas and much of Eastern TX. Gas is above $4.00/gal and many retailers simply ran out.

Here in central NC, there are plenty of "Out of gas" signs popping up on the hour. The Interstates throughout the Southeast are jammed with rescue vehicles and utility crews trying to help.

Not a good time to get that Vette in my view. Wait a few weeks if possible.
