I know the answer is "maybe" depending upon 100s of variables but it may come to this with the fires.

I have more cars at the house than I can quickly relocate, first world problem to be sure.

I know we have a good number of members in this area - hope people are doing OK.

Tom, thoughts with you. With a 914 I've had for 32~ years, and open lands just a street and a house away…I get it. But, ultimately, stuff is stuff.

Our evac plan is to drive a wheelchair van and the 914 out of here, leaving a 911 and a Mazda in the garage. Or, if need be, just the van. I could be wrong, but I suspect cars have their best shot at survival in a garage anyway, as I can see firefighters being more worried about defending structures, and rightly so.
