Well my 05 Silver GT showed up today at Len Stoler in Owings Mills, MD. The staff at the dealership was great to me throughout my whole experience. Even when I canceled my order out of anger (at this point I was waiting 20 weeks and still C/U). They were able to get it back as a priority for me. Anyways I know you all want to see is the pics so enjoy! I also want to give a shout out to Vicki Warren the sales manager for doing all she could (and giving me a deal I couldn't refuse).

Thats my dad Mike. Yes he has had a chance to drive it already for all you old timers. He remembers seeing a 64 1/2 a month before it hit the streets when getting a car with his dad at a Ford dealership. It was under a cover in the garage and the salesperson took him over to see it.

Awesome - great car! I really like the night shots. You waited a LONG time I can see why you freaked a few times along the way.

Nothing like seeing it for the first time thou (I'm with you in the 5/23 club)

Congrats again!

Well when the car came it had 3.4 miles on it. The dealership drove it 7 miles for the PDI. I then drive about another 65 today showing some peeps and give test rides. lol

The drive in from work was pretty fun this morning. It is raining so I took it easy and averaged 25 MPG. Yesterday when I was showing the car off I was pulling about 14 MPG. So far I can't get enough of this thing. It was hard to sleep last night because I couldn't wait to get up and drive it.

I would have to say the Mustang rides just as smooth as my 2003 Accord Coupe. The seats feel great and its nice to be able to just put my head back a tad and have support. I can't wait to get my Navi system because right now that is the only thing I miss from my Accord.

Thanks all for the complements so far!

Congratulations!!! That's a long wait, glad it's over for you. Sounds like your dealer is one of the good ones. Was that their only allocation for a GT?


:banana2: :banana2: :banana2:


Oh yeah, nice GT!!!

I guess the positive aspect of waiting is that I have a lot of the problems fixed right off the bat.

Congrats man. Tough exercise in patience waiting that long. I'm sure it was worth it now that you have it.

Enjoy!!
