Luckily it amused Mrs. Fro. that the street value of the right three guitars and basses in the trunk of her car exceeded the street value of the car (at least until a tree hit it and it was declared totaled and replaced).
Frono, you mean your guitars were tree-ed?

Which is why my wife drives a nice shiny 2021 while my guitar lust keeps me in my old 2008 bondo infused $#!+box. Hey, we each have our priorities 😊
My wife drives my '07 Volvo XC-70 automatic. The Volvo '12 C-30 we purchased for her, with standard transmission, she can't handle, so I drive it. What a world we live in with our wives?

A tree hit the car when the trunk was empty (so no guitars were harmed) and the car was totaled.

:)

We don't have any maple guitars and no tonewoods in that yard so it wasn't a scheme to reunite various woods.

Oh, okay. That's cool I'm glad your guitars were not harmed. Too bad for the car!

I’ve had great service from USPS for items shipped up & down the west coast. Unfortunately, it does seem like things have been quite spotty east of the Mississippi. That said, a few more days of anticipation will fade away in a moment when the guitar is in hand!

Yeah, but the east coast situation is beyond believable. It's never been this bad. Michigan to Virginia-- two days in the past. Beware!

LOL!

My favorite car was my 07 XC70. I drive an S90 now only due to the fact I was able to buy it less than a year old for 50% of its original MSRP and they gave me $5.000 more for my V60 than I paid for it a year prior.

When I stop driving across NYS on an almost daily basis I'll find another 07....a d maybe a C70 as well!!!!

Edit. Not sure how part of my post got stuck in the quote

I just want to stress that my local PO gave me a heads up about long delays before I committed to ship it with them. It's not like this comes as a great surprise. The post office is maxed out in its resources right now. Of course, I do hope it gets to Richard soon! Fingers remaining crossed.

Rich;
May today bring an end to your anxiousness and beginning to an amazing love affair with an Orpheum.
