The dealer said I could come pick up my car any time after noon today and I was going to go over at lunch but its coming down rain, ice and snow outside...sometimes I hate living in NY. I might have to hold out until late this afternoon or even tomorrow. This is no fun. :notnice:

Bright side? It will be a good time to check out the traction control.

I would be all over that car as soon as it was available. The sooner you are there the better because that limits the amount of time the lot boys or salespeople can joy ride your car.

My salesperson called me last night to let me know they got their first Mustang in yesterday(mine was second one ordered and will be here Tuesday) he said wow is it fast. He also mentioned how fun it was to turn off traction control. This is someones special order car being abused. If I knew mine was at the dealer there is no way I would leave it there a second longer than I had to.

Yea that is a little scary. Lesser of two evils I guess. With the traction control I'm sure you would do ok but on the other hand with weather like that the people at the dealership probably wouldn't interested in driving cars for fun. Either way good luck!

It also is not totally dependent on your traction control, but how others are driving as well.

Congrats, I am picking mine up toady as well. No ice down here in VA, but we do have a nice selection of black clouds, drizzle and rain on the way.
