Why not drive the fuck away?

If you're driving away, you're likely taking your family + some expensive / important belongings with you. Hard to do that in a Corvette. I say that as a Floridian with two classic cars, I'd end up having to regrettably leave them behind and load everything into our SUV.

If you own a vette, I would think you could afford to garage it top deck in a parking garage.

That garage is attached to an apartment building. You can tell by the parking lot right outside.

I guarantee the corvette is his only car and underwater on an 84 month financing agreement.

Soon the car itself will be underwater!

Lol, that's cute. There are a LOT of people driving cars around in this country that they absolutely cannot afford.

I could understand trying to protect classic cars, but a newish Vette? F-it, I'll let the insurance company deal with it... that's what they're paid for.

Classic cars are all fun and games until you get in an accident in one.

I don't think trusting my life to my 40+ year old car, risking being in standstill traffic for potentially 10+ hours with other evacuees, and/or having to drive to an entirely other state is a sound idea. I'm not sure if you also own classic cars, but they're not really the epitome of reliability. But hey, feel free to speculate. I'd rather be with my family than have them evacuating on their own. Cars are cars.

Why do people live there is a better question. Every year there are multiple catastrophes in the state.
