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.

I know I couldn't have picked a worse time to try this. Plane reservations are made. I am going to see how the weekend goes and try to find out how long it's going to take for the newly released reserves to hit. If it does not look good I might try to postpone. I hate to do that though. I'm sure the seller isn't going to want to drag this out any longer than necessary either and shipping just isn't something I'm fond of. I'm to paranoid about something happening to it.
