Default Watching the Museum Delivery

Is everybody watching the Museum deliveries happening right now?
I am and I am surprised there isn't more jumping around and yelling in celebration.
That is what I plan to do.

Yes, I've been checking it out. They'll really have it down when I pick up my vert in a couple months.

I don't know how you guys with MD handle it. I watched some geezer going around and coon fingering every car earlier today.

I saw that also! They went under the hood, keep looking along hood line on pass side! They closed it back up, then couple of other guys came, looked it over! Talked to the owner, shook hands with him & some guy got in car & took it away!

Not saying it's a trend, but when I looked at the eight cameras, this is what I saw.

Cyber Gray Z51 with silver wheels
Cyber Gray Z51 with chrome wheels
Green Z51 with black wheels
Green base with silver wheels
Silver base with silver wheels
Silver base with chrome wheels
AWOL
Cyber gray Z51 with chrome wheels

Out of seven cars...three were base and 4 were Z51.
Out of seven cars...three had silver wheels, three had chromes and one had black.
out of seven cars...three were cyber gray, two were green and two were silver.

I'm thinking you're just the man to maintain an ongoing analysis so all can see if 'trends' do in fact emerge on the museum delivered cars

^ Is "coon fingering" a term occurring in the English language ??

I'm afraid to ask what coon fingering is.

From the Urban Dictionary:

1. Coonfinger

Refers to RACCOONS, nothing at all racist about it. They pick up anything and everything, turn it over and over, looking at it , trying to decide whether to wash it or eat it, or both.

Holly, put that down, get over here, and stop coonfingering everything.

2. coon finger

to touch someone elses food;
handling food like a racoon

I would eat my sandwich but Billy coon fingered it!

3. coonfinger

To pick up an item that is not yours and look at it or examine it. Possibly to handle and examine an item without thinking of buying it.

I make about $34,000 a year. Me and my friend went into a Watch store. We couldn't afford any of the $50,000 watches, so we decided to coonfinger the watches just for fun.

Since talon90 does R8C deliveries at the museum, he would be in a much better position to monitor what's going through the museum.

I'll pass the torch to him.

Joe, those must've been tomorrow's deliveries, as the first set included three yellow, two black, two white and one red. I think all were z51, five sets of black wheels, one silver, one chrome, one I'm not sure of. I've driven mine 196 miles since I left the museum this afternoon and I love it.

Very well could be as I was looking at the cams later this afternoon.

I'm sure the mix will change every day.

Was that 196 miles during the first hour after you left the museum?
