  • Long Island Sightings - August 7 - 9, 2009

    August 7 - On our way from Manhattan to "the Hamptons" to accept delivery of our "new" 2005 Evening Black Thunderbird right off the enclosed carrier from Phoenix, we spotted an Evening Black with the black and red interior heading East around Exit 55. We tried to catch driver's attention but we were in the HOV lane and he was in the right lane.

    August 8 - we went for a top-down, shake down ride to Long Island's "North Fork" and spotted a Torch Red 2002 in a Mattituck shopping center that turned out to be owned by a couple from Shelter Island. They winter on Florida's West Coast and they drive their 70,000 mile Bird back and forth every year and they love it.

    August 9 - I spotted a Turquoise Thunderbird with New Jersey license plates parked across from the Southampton movie theater and waited for awhile to meet the owner but finally had to leave.

    Since we don't want to subject our 2005/2,180 mile Bird to New York's potholes, we left it covered in our garage out East and look forward to driving it (and sighting other Thunderbirds) again next weekend.
