Or kick it there, assuming exasperation and local dealer/service. Drop kick if further.

I need a Humvee with a snorkel - downtown Charleston completely flooded.

No - hurricane a non issue, won't get 700 miles from us. Low pressure system sitting on us for 2 days dumping non stop rain plus abnormally high tides.

Downtown 6 feet below sea level. They spend millions on new drainage every year trying to defy the laws of physics.

And now my back porch roof is leaking.

It seems South Carolina may receive a 1000-year rainfall.

Noah is in our kitchen having a ham sandwich. I hid the cats.

I don't think Joaquin is a total non-issue. The rain that low is pulling in is from Joaquin I think.

Funny, I haven't heard any bagger talk of abandoning Charleston because it's below sea level like there was of New Orleans.

Oh, wait!

Charleston is a center of WHITE culture!

Hahaha. If nothing else, you are dependable.

It's a mess down here, but the good outweighs the bad through the calendar year.

Actually, although only getting the academic and social recognition it deserves in the past 50 years, Charleston is one of the centers of black culture.

Google Gullah, Geechie, or Avery research center.

The black population is the majority in Charleston county and a political and financial force.

Back to the car decision - my sister had a Mini, says it was very reliable - it was the Cooper S and a stick, so that's out.

Guy that works for me has a Prius - I've driven it around - his family has 3 of them. It has all the personality of a cardboard box and no pickup, but I'm leaning that way because of mileage and Toyota reliability.

Drove a Fiat 500 the other day - fun and the size I'd like for downtown, but at highway speed on the bridges it feels flimsy and almost cringes when a semi rolls by.

I rented a Ford Focus hatchback a while back and liked it - going to check out the Fiesta, too.
