I think the best innuendos (ahem) are stillLove this song! Particularly memorable for the lines “Shetland pony,extra pepperoni” and “Sittin’ here in a hired tuxedo, you wanna see my bacon torpedo”

Not my car. It was a Car2Go car. Cool service. Unfortunately they pulled out of North America a while back. I haven't had a car for over 15 years.
..... I'll try & get a good pic when I get home
Totally forgot about this
Hopefully the finish in these pics shows up well for you guys
...and a Thunderbird, just 'cause.
(also because: neon red
)
Wow! That's really terrible. I'm sorry you got stuck with such a beat-up monstrosity.Totally forgot about this
Hopefully the finish in these pics shows up well for you guys

Not.
Congrats.
My daughter in Boston hasn’t had one for over a year. She lives close to her work and public transport is real good.
Earlier this morning, I put a bass up for trade in our locals and was offered a Vintage Pro...
I never tried those, so sound-wise, how different are they from the models I'm familiar with (current bolt-on model and past-owned Epi Classic Pro IV and Gibson 2008 Birds) ? I'm looking for something I can use live with the current band, which is 80s cover (Bon Jovi, Loverboy, Jouney, The Cult, AC/DC).

It's such a burden
....I suppose I'll manage to trudge on 
.... but I may have to get a red pickguard to help me through such a trying experience 
edit: ....and definitely red strings
. They're already on the way...

Just a quick listing of my van history. All of which were purchased for the purpose of hauling my THUNDERBIRD, amps and PA gear(which, like the vans, has gotten progressively smaller/lighter)and were still able to carry 1 to 3 other people to gigs. 69 Ford Econoline, ??Dodge Maxi-Van, 75 ChevyVan,, 78 Econoline, 85 Astro, 95 Safari, 96 Aerostar, 2019 Transit Connect(actually white). The THUNDERBIRD fits in between the middle seats and the back door with an amp-or 2-on one side and duffel, mic stand, music stand, etc. on the other.

Just do it!
I use mine for all that stuff, no probs! Sound wise it's different from any of your previous, but you won't be disappointed.
Every Thunderbird player should have a Vintage Pro. Best $700 bass on the planet.
Our respective bands probably have a few things in common setlist-wise, so your answer's not surprising, I shoulda seen it coming
...Indeed, it has tons of fans, at least under that name. Wonder if the new 60s Classic will catch on ?
Squier do well with their Classic Vibes 50s/60s/70s lines so I think it’ll be okay

lolll good point.
And I wasn’t taking a shot at Classic Vibes there, when you absolutely need something in Olympic White to start chanting “Gabba Gabba We Accept You We Accept You One Of Us” with, I would!

I use the VP for all of those tunes..a great choice.
We heard about that back East as well. Calling it the Mesa Quake. Something about brownouts to follow on regular intervals for the foreseeable future. According to the news, anyway. Who knows since a weather meteorologist and journalist contributed to the story.

Oh my! The PUs are worth almost that!
No brainer! Having both, I would say it's as close as you can get to a '60s version tone and looks without serious money--really close. I liked one so much a bought two! It will sound different, but in a very good way.
