Hey all, my name is mike carpenter from nj . I had a Subaru 360 sedan 30 years ago as my first car. For ever I wanted another one but never got it . Well after all these years I finally got one. Kinda bad shape but saved it from the crusher. Anyway I will be needing plenty of parts and help an heard you guys are great . I'm happy to be apart of the club now. yes I'm I'm new jersey and as you all see right now we are in very bad shape from the hurricane . I have never seen such devastion in my life I'm lucky but many friends have lost homes including my dad . Once we get power again if ever I will be all over my car to get her going. Thank you

Hey Mike welcome.
Where in NJ are you?

Hello, Mike! Welcome to the Club from the Great NW where we don't get hurricanes just constant rain!

I just brought my 1st 360 and just parked it in the carport about 30 minutes ago. Look forward to the adventure with you.

Brick nj right next to point pleasant

Welcome to the club. Hope you get your power back soon.

Welcome to the Club from downunder, Mike!

We call 'em Cyclones down here... but much the same thing (not the size of Sandy ....yet)

You'll find plenty of helpful humans on this forum.

Hope you all get back on your feet soon.

Cheers,

Ian

Mike - welcome to The Club! Glad you were finally able to get
everything set up!

Hope you and your Dad and all the folks on the shore will be
able to recover and rebuild.

Hi Mike,
Up here in Morris County we've got huge numbers of trees and wires down. 7 days with no power. Looking forward to normalcy, and hearing about your progress with you 360.

Steve

just got power back. hope you get yours back soon. new jersey is a real mess . Im by the water here and so many homes flooded and many floated away. good luck Steve . If there is anything i can do for ya let me know im not all that far from you

Mike,
Thanks for the offer. We are doing OK here with a generator that I run 8 hours a day or so (like a good day in Bagdad!) to run the furnace and a few things around the house. I also have a little AC inverter that I plug into our Prius for an additional 8 hours a day to drive a PC, a few lights and cellphone chargers. The Prius is great for this job as it only idles as needed to keep it's own battery up - about 10-15 minutes an hour!
Having said all that I will be very glad when the utility folks finally get to my block...should be soon!

Jon,
I found gas with zero line 5 minutes into PA along Route 512! Yay!

Steve

Hey Steve tonight I'm on generator watch in parsippany.
I have to sit here in my Jeep from 8:00pm to 8:00am and make sure nobody steals this generator on the pole.
Keeping the power supplies alive on the plant is a good job. $20/hr and all I have to do is keep white collar business men from climbing up 20 feet to retrieve a 150lb generator.
I'm so busy....yeah right! I don't even have to fuel it..
Love this gig.

14 hours and both the generator and I am still here.



Where is the tech that's supposed to take my spot. I'm kinda tired....
I worked a full day yesterday and then came here.. I've gotta sleep sometime.

One of my pals ran the Newark route last night, he stepped out of his truck to speak with another tech that drove up.
That's when an impaired woman did a little body work on the back of his Tacoma.



He was on the curb of a straight section of road, cones deployed and all of his strobes and 4 ways on. There was no hiding his truck.

I'm glad he wasn't in it when she slammed her Corolla into it.
Her drunk ass was carted off in a meat wagon.

15.5 hr's. Waiting for relief

Wake up Jon!

Glad to report that after 16 hrs relief was finally dispatched to my location.
I was able to sleep a little last night and I'm back at work at my desk.
Needless to say, watching generators isn't all that glamorous and I won't be so quick to raise my hand again.

Hey Jon, You should have called me. You were right near me. I would`ve brought you some coffee or a pizza.

I was posted on intervale road in parsippany.
I made I to the pole at 1/4 to 7.. it was already kinda late to call normal people.

Got my power back yesterday and phone/cable/internet today!!! Ya-hoooo!

13 days. Yeesh.
