Since I kept bugging my dealer to see when it would be here, I think he got great pleasure in calling the first thing this morning. That way he knew I would have to wait till I got off work. 
He called yesterday to say that it was loaded onto a truck in Michigan and therefore should be here by the weekend. So it is a day early. I can handle that.
But it is here, and I have to wait 7 more hours. I am totally useless right now. In fact, I am just staring at these threads. I am not reading them, I am just thinking of driving the new baby home.
I will have plenty of pictures to post after I pick it up (and drive around).

When you separate yourself from the car, some observations:
You look pale.
Your forehead feels really warm.
You've been *CHOOSE BODILY FUNCTION* all night. :shock:
Your throat is sore and your glands feel swollen.
I called my wife, a doctor recommends you stay home tomorrow and get some fresh air by driving with ventilation

I got my call today too... at 3pm. However I worked til 8:30 and live a half hour from there. The dealership closed at 9, but I did get to see it in the garage getting cleaned when I drove through the lot. I switched my schedule for Saturday to go pick it up.
... I only WISH I could call in sick. (stupid entertainment business)

My old T-Bird and my new Mustang. The dealer want to give me $800 for the T-Bird. KBB said $2000 for a trade-in. So I kept the T-bird

While my wife and me were looking at it, the neighbor (a preacher) asks what did I get (it was dark - so he couldn't see it). I said and 05 Mustang. He about passed out. He said he loves that car and really wants one. I said sorry if I wake you in the morning with the loud exhaust noise. He said he would love it, it would be music to his ears. He would not sit in it b/c he though he would not get out. We talked a little while. I told him that some of them had a whinning noise when decelerating. He laughed, and told me that I will hear a whinning too. But it will be coming from him and not the car.

The trunk is wide and deep.
I don't like the placement of the trunk light. When the lid is open, it only lights the front part of the trunk, not the whole trunk. I guess I can deal with that.

The dealer honored X-plan. I had one thru my step dad, but would need to get him involve. The bad part was he lives 8 hrs away. So the dealer contacted a friend and got me an xplan thru him. Therefore I did not need to drag my step-dad up here for anything. That was great.

Sweet man!! 
You got your Pony!
Congrats man - love that color - my sister-in-law's Redfire should hopefully show up within the next week or so.
Wow - that's all they wanted to give you for the T-bird?.... It'll be more of a hassle but sell it on your own - you'll definitely rake in more $$....
And LOVE that last pic - need to drop a word bubble in there like "I'd rather ride in the trunk than not get to ride in an '05 at all!"
