Thumbs up Got The Call...It's Almost Here!

Looks like I'll be joining you all in the next 48 to 72 hours! Just got the call from my dealership this morning telling me that my car has arrived at the rail yard here in BC, and will be through processing and onto a truck by tomorrow or the next day.



Very happy with the dealership experience thus far. Right up front the sales manager asked me whether or not I wanted a dealership sticker on the back of my car; if I wanted him to save all the window stickers, etc. and place them in a folder for me; and if I wanted to be present for the arrival. Great service, and he clearly understands Mustangers!

I just want to take a moment to thank the members on this board for their valuable advice over the past couple of years. Despite the fact that I've gotten into a few "mix ups" now and again with certain members - haven't we all, I suppose - the vast majority of people here seem like a great group, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you on the road or at the shows!

And, yes, I will post pics as soon as she comes in!

I'm so jealous! "My" car was to be built this morning. Since the dealer screwed up the order I had to reorder it Friday afternoon. I'm also jealous to hear how well your dealer is treating you. The sales manager I've been dealing with is a pompous know-it-all jerk (who screwed up the order and didn't listen to me - the stupid customer)! I guess it's another 6 weeks for me...

Congrats to you though man!

Man, that bites! Are there no other dealerships to choose from in your area? I think it's almost worth going the distance to get treated right.

The new tires and the Homelink mirror.

Will probably do the CAI + tune and other mods over the next month or so.

I know you must be excited.

Getting that new stang seems to have made you nicer person on here. Maybe we should give the President of Iran a Mustang

I'd put some hard miles on the factory tires before you replace them. Might as well burn them up first.

Glad to hear you are finally getting a car. I should be ordering mine in the next 2-3 weeks. OF course, I'll be waiting a lot longer to actually get mine.

Jumpin' Jehosepha...car came in on the truck last night and is here NOW.

Gonna take a bit of time off work and go do a thorough inspection this afternoon; sort out paperwork, etc - then take delivery on Thursday (can't break off work tomorrow).

Will post a few grip & grin shots tonight.
