B.N. On April 20, lightning struck my house and started a fire in the basement.
G.N. No one was hurt, and nothing really irreplaceable was lost.
B.N. I'm stuck living in a hotel with a dinosaur of a computer and mediocre internet service.
G.N. I can still access TMS!
B.N. I may not get my house back until the end of June!
G.N. I was told today that my Mustang WILL be an '05 afterall, and that I could expect it sometime in June! Yayyyy! Sonic Blue, not Vista (whatever that is)!!!

Question: My salesman said he wasn't given a build date or a VIN#. He said the owner just told him to tell me the first or second week of June. This is May 2. Isn't that a little optomistic to hope for delivery in 4-6 weeks when we don't even have a build date? Maybe the owner knows and just hasn't informed the salesman? Sound bogus to anyone? :scratch:

Sorry to hear about your house , but I'm glad you are getting an 05! You will love the Sonic Blue. Guess I'll have a Sonic Blue buddy in Illinois after all.

Well, it must be true what they say about women being more visual than men.

Anyway, with everything that has happened, hopefully, this isn't overly optimistic, and you'll see something in June.

(I know I've been hoping that for a few months myself.)

Good Luck!

Here's hoping the owner isn't just yanking your chain to keep you from jumping ship.

Thanks, everyone. The contractor has already started working on my house, and everyone I talk to says I've got the best Insurance Adjustor and Fire Restoration Specialist in the area. That makes me feel better. I don't think the dealer is just "yanking my chain". I had him as excited about the Pony Drive as I was, and he was so shocked at Ford's withdrawal from all Pony Drive participation that he offered me an extra X-plan PIN number that he had and ordered me a GT on the spot! Everyone else in the area was asking a markup, and he gave me an X-plan that I didn't even qualify for! (Of course he also told me that I'd get my car in May.) All in all, I can't complain. I'm thinking Steeda cowl hood, white LeMans stripes, ducktail, and Halibrands. Sound allright?

Mine was serialized 3/3 and delivered 4/15 - it could happen.
