Thunderbird Club

Still no PinkBird arrival. UPS says there's an emergency or severe weather, which is causing a delay. The sun is shining, so it's not a weather problem. I sure hope the UPS truck didn't get hijacked and driven to who knows where. No updated ETA. This is getting absurd.

Can't like a waiting game. You'll get it, and it'll be fine. Just plain s...s
 
@Chucky Stiletti ...
I'll most likely be up in SLO on Saturday with the local Porsche club at the CaliAutoFest. I expect to see your AMX and maybe even the TR6 there! Fees are dirt cheap and the venue is a great location with a nice mix of cars, motorcycles and trucks mostly hobbyist level weekend cruisers vs trailer Queen puff and stuff glamour rides. I might show my 993 (last of the true air cooled 911s) but I'd need to put new tires on it for the trip and probably won't have time to do that before Saturday. Regardless, I'll be there with the Porsche club, bring @JIO with you, first round is on me!

Aww Dude.....in Baja now. Driving back on Sat. Will prolly drive past the Madonna Inn on my way back. Wish you would’ve given me a heads up earlier...not to say you can’t drive a little further north afterwards and we could hook up for a cold one..
 
Yeah, what’s up with all this “we”? I think it’s an attempt from PillO to deny the fact he really does want to see my/a/some wazoo or kazoo for that matter...:rollno:...:laugh:..

Sorry. Wrong truck. The posse was after the notorious Pink Bird, who pretends to be Pink, running up huge hotel bills under the star's name and wreaking havocs on fans' ears at faux Pink concerts. She ships herself via UPS to avoid getting nabbed at airport security. So if a box several times the size and weight of a Thunderbird arrives, DO NOT OPEN IT[1]. Call authorities and hide.

[1] Unless you have chloroform or ether on hand.

Ummmm, doesn't everyone keep chloroform and ether at home? Is it just me?

Sadly, not everyone does.
Some people attempt to rely on natural gas for such efforts. NG has annoying side effects, such as blindness, vomiting, spinal trouble, lung damage, death, etc. Some of these are difficult to treat.
 
The nice lady with an incomprehensible accent says it's all fine and that the delay is out of UPS's control. And then she put me on hold. When she came back on the line she said something about the driver and clearing the situation and it's not under their control and everything will be fine.

I like the idea that it escaped and is tearing up walls in hotel rooms better.
