Boy, was the wait worth it, all I did was drive yesterday, almost 100 miles! It was about to storm last night, so I had to get Black Onyx in its room! I love the car it's absolutely wonderful. Ford is so nice, I even got 2 extra plastic pins on the rear floor. They look like the dark gray plastic pins that are used in several areas of the car to clip plastic. Car looked great, during my escapades yesterday, I got 2 small rock chips in the bumper which stinks! The paint does seem awfully soft!
Quick story, my GF was in it with me and I was like "Have you ever done a burn out" She was like "Ohh no" so I said are you sure you want me to do it and she was like UHH OK. So I did a quick little one and now she loves them! What a great girl!

Called ERL yesterday afternoon and she said "as of May 9th your car has been delivered to the ramp". I've been out of town for the last 3 days so I called my fleet manager yesterday to see if he had any changes in status and he said they expect it to be here tomorrow. It's moving a little quicker than they originally had expected. I'm sure I won't get much sleep tonight.

Mine was shipped 05/05 by convoy carrier....it's also going to the bay area (Benicia is where they all land in the SF Bay Area).....should be soon. I just unloaded the old car today and have cash in pocket for the down. Bad news, I'm going out of town all weekend, better not come in then! Well, I guess it would be OK.

Wow... People are getting their stangs in 1 to 2 weeks. Much fast then I was thinking which is a bad and a good thing. But i'll live if I get it inside two weeks.
Only another 6 days before my pony is built.

Salesguy just told me my car will be in "any day now". I don't think my nerves can take anymore of this. When "the call" comes I might pass out. ERL is still saying it was shipped via convoy carrier. Would they really ship from Michigan to Washington by truck? Thats over 2000 miles. Seems like train would be more efficient.

As of May 13th, your vehicle is at the ramp......I'll be listening for the phone, the ramp is only about 60 miles away.

I don't know what's the holdup with mine. As of today (5/17) ERL still says "As of May 9th your vehicle has been produced". I could drive to Detroit from St. Louis easily in 1 day. (I used to live in Detroit and made the trip often!).

Ok, it is official. I am going nuts. Car was built on 5/2 shipped "via convoy carrier" 5/3. Have heard nothing since. ERL gives me the same message. The dealer says "any day now" Why can I trace a $10 CD ordered from Amazon, but not a $27000 car? Sorry, I am just getting a liiitttle bit tense. I know that it could take 2-3 weeks, but when I see people get their cars that were shipped after mine, my emotions get the better of me.

I won't complain if I have it next weekend though
