Yesterday I joined the pround legions of impatient TMSers by placing an order for my dream car. I have wanted a Mustang since I was 14 years old & the 1994 Mustang was coming out. All through high school & college I drove beat up grandma cars to get through school while the other kids had Mustangs their Mommy & Daddy bought for them or they went up to their eyballs in deby by taking out a student loan to buy a car.

(Cues dramatic orchesta music)

Well now I'm married w/ no kids & we each have promising careers. My day has come. My selfish phase had begun. I placed an order for my dream car & god willing I'll still be babying it in 20 years.

(sheds a small manly tear)

Thank you for sharing this moment .

(gets off soap box. cuts of Orchesta. fade out)

Ps. check out my sig for new car specs.

Thanks guys. Its only been one day & I can't stop thinking about it. Simon, you already got a build date? How did you get one in just 2 days?!?!? Man I'm jealous. Of course I live in Minnesota so I don't really want one till April but still if I got it early I could just keep waxing it in the garage.

I'm sure I'll get tons of comments on the Yellow but thats the color I always wanted so everyone else be darned!

I'm living through you guys at the moment, but I love to read the stories of the orders being placed. My dream? Torch Red GT Premium Convertible with ICUP. We'll see on mine, but congrats to all of you guys!

Aparently, the dealerships here in T.O. are only allowed 1 rag a month(sorry for the pun). I went to order mine on Nov 23, which put me at the top i guess.
Thanx to my salesman!!!!!

Congrats! As an old fart who has waited almost 40 years between Stangs - good for you! Thinking positive, February MAY show a drastic reversal in volume. May your wait be short BUT........longer than mine (I hope),

I hear all this talk about old farts, you are only as old as you feel Well today is my 62nd birthday and just came from my local Ford dealers where I placed the following order................................

GT CONVT PREMIUM
BLACK CLEARCOAT
LTHR TRIMD BKT..CRIMSON RED
BLACK CONVT ROOF
SHKR 1000 AUDIO
ACTIVE ANTI-THFT
INT COLOR ACCNT
INT UPGRADE PKG
WHL LOCKING KIT
SEAT SIDE AIRBG
17" BRT MACHIND WHEELS

Got x-plan and was ordered priority 12, so as they say now the wait really starts but it will be worth it. I can go in the garage and visit my '02 true blue vert over the winter and dream. :sleep:
