Hi everyone!

First let me say that this a great forum and that I'm a long time lurker and (obviously) a first time poster. I'm also one of the luckiest people on the planet.

I ordered an '05 GT yesterday and was told the car would be delivered in 6 -8 weeks and mentally prepared myself for the long wait. This morning I got a call from the dealer that a GT arrived late last night and that the prospective buyer had backed out. The amazing thing is that this car is EXACTLY the same as the car I ordered the day before!

I went down tonight, signed the papers and will pick it up tomorrow!

I feel like I've won the lottery.....lol!

WOOOOO!

Thanks guys, I'll post pics as soon as I can (probably this weekend).

Yeah, I did pay MSRP. I know some people are getting better deals but I was happy with how it played out.

The car should be ready tomorrow afternoon (the dealership is installing lojack and adding the optional exterior protection package) and after that I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon driving it! I'll take some pictures over the weekend.

Thanks to all for the hearty welcome!
