[QUOTE=Indydriver;7612263]How's the weather shaping up? Those railcars are enclosed, aren't they?[/QUOTE]

hey, Indy,
They say a 'severe' outbreak; tornadoes, high winds, baseball size hail possible. We are in the bulls eye, as is TX, KS, AR, TN. Saturday and Saturday night are our most 'likely' event times. Then by Sunday, the storms will move east.

Yes the rail cars are enclosed, thankfully. But it may not be enough if it is hailing 'side-ways' with winds in excess of 70mph. Yikes!

We will be very weather aware here in the heartland this week end.

Hope you have a great top down week end!

Alright, can't wait to see it. Mine took five days hopefully "constructively placed" means head of the line.

Sadly, constructively placed means placed in the order it was received.
But, we have a Camaro club member who works at the rail yard, and he said it could possibly be unloaded as early as tomorrow.
Soooooo, if it gets to the dealer by Tuesday, prepped on Weds, maybe I can pick her up on Thursday! I would love it earlier, but I'll take what I can get. LOL. At least now it's just a matter of days instead of weeks!!

I hope you (and your car) escaped the carnage. Looks like it was east of you?

Indy, yes, the tornado touched down in the very NE corner of our state hitting a little town called Quapaw. 1 fatality and over half the little town demolished. Very sad.
Thanks for thinking of us in OOOOklahoma!

Have a great top down week! Good luck on the clear bra install!

Unfortunately, "top down" days will be few and far between this week with rain and chilly conditions descending on the Midwest. I added some work for the detailer doing my Xpel so it will be in his warm cozy garage until Wednesday PM.

Alright! You're getting close now! It makes me nervous to see these yahoos in someone else's car after what happened to Ore1LE. Do you know how long it will take to delivery?

What happened to Ore1LE??? I probably don't want to know....yikes!
The guy on the unloading crew at the rail yard is an OKCamaros member, and he was nice enough to 'document' my car being unloaded! I breathed a BIG sigh of relief when he said she looked good, and there was no problems that he saw!

Well, I emailed my dealer a pic of my car coming off the train, and told him Wednesday[today] is the only day my hubby will be available to sign papers with me, soooooo he going to try and make it happen TODAY! <insert crossed fingers here!> LOL!

There WILL be pics of course. LOL!

Everyone have a super day....duck the storms if they are in your area! This storm system causing all this havoc needs to blow itself out right this very minute!

Thanks! I was very lucky to have an OKCamaros member that works at the rail yard helping with the unloading of my car AND take photos of it for me! He's a really super nice guy!
and....TODAY may be the day I get to pick my car up! I'm jazzed!

Have a great day!
