Well, my day is finally here. Was begining to doubt Ford's reliabilty.

These are pictures fresh off the truck. Hadley trucking delivers the new vehicles at about 10 pm. So, as I've been driving to work every morning for the past month I've been looking between the parked cars for a row of fresh ones. Today I say an explorer, an explorer and a mustang. Hit the brakes, crank the wheel (slide a little, it's been raining) and whip into the side lot. Run around the corner and start snapping pictures.

They're still doing dealer prep and I'll pick it up in an hour. I was approved for 5.4% for 60 months. Payments will be about $535/month. Trading in a 2001 Cavalier worth approx. $5000 but still owe just under 8K. Will give them 35 Ben Franklins for there trouble.

I'm so excited. Sure wish is wasn't raining. I wouldn't what some idiot gawking and lose control on the slick asphalt.

Well, enough rambling here's my pics. More later when I take the keys.

Nice. Congrats. Not sure about the first to order last to get. I ordered May 26th (only because the dealer would not let me place an order in January) and I am still waiting for mine to be built :cry:

Anyway, enjoy your ride.

About dang time!! Glad you finally got it. Hope it stops raining, but knowing that Bay Area weather, that may be wishful thinking. Enjoy and post more pics when you can.

Now......if adrenalin's car and BeachFords car will just come, that will about cover the ones I have been following. Good Luck you guys and to anyone else thats been waiting a long time!!

Congrats 05 FSTBK, great looking car!!!
Exactly the car I have ordered, down to the last accessory I belived (you ordered the wheel locking nuts didn't you ha ha ha)
Anyways, plz plz plz post some good pics of the interior. All Black rides I have seen are with the red interiors, I need to see a few with the dark charcoal.
Also if you have Shaker 500, let me know how does it sound and if you are happy with the system.
Congrats once again!
