Question So we're now in "Code Orange" What are you going to do??

Does being in code orange mean anything to you? Do you do anything differently when you hear we've moved up in notice?

I, for one, don't really change anything about the way I go about my daily activities...

Were staying home instead of going to a bowl game this year, we shop online, and we are from anything of interest to a terrorist so we will be here praying for the best.

If they do show up here I have something just for them.

"Four times before had the threat level risen to orange. Each change sets off a flurry of increased security measures by cities, states and businesses. The lowest two levels, green and blue, and the highest, red, have not been used since the system was put in place in early 2002." -- Associated Press

That must be what you're thinking about.

unless of course, you have free inside storage!!
Ya sure, as in "inside the lot".

I saw the SLC thread, I think the real 5.0 would be quite collectable, might be tougher finding the right buyer, because not many people know what it is. Very significant car, especially the 450SLC 5.0, the last year, the 500SLC, maybe not quite so collectable, still very different than a 500SL.

Are you planning on being on the same bus on XMas, or moving the timing around? I was planning on at least seeing the bus you're on and saying "howdy" on the radio.

Orange??? I guess I'll go in my backyard and pick some oranges. They should be just getting ripe about now. Thanks for the reminder...
