So close, yet so far away...

I ordered the predator w/ interface cables and a 180 tstat from maryland speed. I got the tstat and cables a few days ago and the predator was coming today. I had to work today so I asked my brother, who was obviously dropped on his head a few more times than me when we were kids, to come to the house and sign for my package. Well he came to the house alright. And went to f***in sleep! The big brown van came and went, along with the predator. Now it has to sit all alone in sum dark, cold, storage facility until monday. I love my brother to death. But Damn!!!

I hope he is well-rested now.

What? No attempted Saturday delivery? Or are you able to pick up at their facility?

The note said the next attempt would be monday. And the ups place in harvey is only open monday thru friday. Im tempted to pull an O.J.! Break in and say i was just gettin my stuff back. But it didnt seem to work out too well for him.

You should make your brother do the break in. If he makes it, great! If not....well, he can get all that baddly needed rest!

WOW! I'd be so mad!

I would disown the bum. How dare he!!!

That sucks, i would have smacked the shit out of my brother. lol

drive way out in the country... and push his ass out the car...

have em walk all the way back.... then he will have a reason to fall asleep, after that long walk back!!

I hope you're relaying all our good wishes to your brother. I'd hate to think all our ideas are being wasted!

I just showed my bro this thread and he said, "Wow, they really think im a dumb-ass!" I told him, "Everybody has to be good at something, but unfortunately, you'd be the one bringing home the gold at the Asshole Awards." Lol! Thanks alot guys and gals. I think he got the point. Ill be picking up the diablo tomorrow after work. Cant wait...

Too funny! Hope he learned his lesson.

I picked up the diablo yesterday. After drivin around in circles for a while, i finally found the U.P.S. place. I put the t-stat on lastnite, and attempted to load the 91 octane tune this morning. Everything was going as planned, but as i was waiting for the tune to load i noticed that i didnt have my cigarette lighter. The instructions said not to open the doors or do anything to cause a fluctuation in the power supply. So being the crackhead that i am, i attempted to exit the car "Dukes Of Hazzard Style." Well as u all know, the window openings in our cars arent too tall. So I did sort of a drunken centipede type motion, and poured myself outta the car and onto the garage floor. I mite have been able to pull this off in my high school days. But of course, i yanked the damn cord out of the OBDII port with my foot. So after starting all the way over, i got it loaded. I reset the tcm and lowered the fan settings. Just came back from a drive, and all i can say is...WOW!!!

I'm glad you didn't brick your car. Now, get it to Mr. Norm's for a dyno tune and you'll really be rockin'.
