Hey guys. Just wanted to let everyone know that Cars & Coffee will be at the following location:

Location: Carrabbas on Market St.
Time: 9am-12pm

Carrabbas said they will offer a special lunch menu for the Cars and Coffee crew.

Come on out, last month was a good turn out and a great time.

I drove past that Carrabas 1hr ago, on my way back from Myrtle. A cop literally walked out in the middle of Market St, to let an old lady with a banana and apple in her hand, cross the street.

Seems like a sleepy ole town.

Hahahahaaa.... That is classic. Actually where Carrabbas is located in not the nicest area. Believe me if you drove 5 more miles east you would have been at Wrightsville beach which is a very very nice beach island.

I saw yesterday in a thread that you were in Brunswick County and was playing golf somewhere today. I work in Southport and live close to E55 Bulldog. Where did you play golf today?

Yep I second Clayton's sentiments. Been through a couple in Houston so I know what it's like. Crank up the generator today just to make sure it works and in case you need it.

Thanks guys.
Been keeping a close eye on her. If all goes well she will keep pushing East, but you never know. Depending on the course over the next day or so we might just get the F out of dodge and head inland.

went and pulled the boat out of the water today. If I was smart I would leave it in. Damn thing is a money pit anyways.

Thanks for the well wishes - I just hope this thing pushes east.
I've been through a few now and these things are a pain in the ***.
I hope everyone fair well through this thing.
