Peter and others. Rob is lucky to have friends like you who are concerned. I am sure when he gets your emails he’ll be bashful and proud at the same time. Rob’s a sincere fellow. However, while I can’t speak for Rob, he lives in a nice flat residential area. If his home were endangered 100’s or 1,000’s of homes would also be in peril – I live about 30 miles from him and I haven’t heard a word about an entire neighborhood going up in flames. Believe me – if things were bad – the talking heads here would be on this like a starving Chihuahua on a pork chop. That’s not to say it can’t happen – in 1991 with 70 mile per hour winds and living on hills the fire wiped out over 2800 home in Oakland, CA. Many of the homes just evaporated. I had a friend who lived there. Her house, built in the 50’s, was gone gone gone. Only things left were a water heater and a Weber kettle. Even the foundation concrete was dried out to a pink powder and the toilets, tubs, and sinks? Gone. She lived perched over a valley. The drive way was street level, the back porch was two stories up. The fire just came up the valley and blow torched dozens of homes on that street. Many high end homes and high end cars in the process of restoration. The cars in restoration? Zero coverage. Tools and those 1957 Chevy FI units on the shelf? Zero coverage. BUT you can insure them with a special rider. I worked the Oakland fire. More than 25 people perished trying to get out of the hills - - - too late. As they were driving out, the fire consumed all the oxygen, the car stopped – that was it. Also if you have an older home – make sure your insurance coverage has some form of “Building Code Upgrade” insurance. Problem with many of the homes up there was they didn’t have that and when the foundations needed to be replaced what was the new code required angle drilling and bracing costing hundreds of thousands BEFORE the home could be rebuilt. Who has that chump change lying about? Onward DOUG From: Peter Rychel [mailto:dino308gt4 [at] hotmail.com] Jokes aside, I'm concerned too. I emailed Rob just before Christmas (a reply to both his Santa Enzo photo and a personal message). Haven't heard back yet... Peter From: Ferrari <ferrari-bounces+dino308gt4=hotmail.com [at] ferrarilist.com> on behalf of Doug & Terri <dnt [at] dock.net> Rob OK? Listen, anyone who has a lawn mower with two yellow shields Scuderia Ramparte on each side HAS to be OK. DOUG From: Ferrari [mailto:ferrari-bounces+dnt=dock.net [at] ferrarilist.com] On Behalf Of Rick Moseley Rob Garvin, Just saw the story about the fires in Ventura. Everything OK your way? You and the Mrs? Car or is it Cars yet? Rick |
