What Wash DC area dealer did you order from? I'm from NoVa. Just curious.

DC guys.... I went to my GM two weeks ago to find out what was going on. They had a meeting with the Regional GM and the info he gave them was that our region only gets 50 allotments a month, there are over 600 orders waiting in our region alone last week. They were supposed to have a meeting with the big wigs at ford this week about the situation. Go talk to the GM's and see what happens... Just hang in there! Good luck!

Well that would explain something about it but I would imagine that even if just getting 50 per month and having 600 backordered, mine would be one of the next being built...
If that information is accurate though, they definitely are going to have to change some things because with 600 on order and just 50 per month being built, that's already going to put them well into the 2006 model year... It'll be this time next year before that 600th person in line gets their car..

This might have already been asked. Sorry if that is the case. Any rate, how do you find out who is your regional GM? And how do you contact them?
I too ordered in Nov and still have nothing.
The dealership is clueless. Of course they are claming that Ford is keeping them in the dark. Definately getting fed up and also I am starting to debate about cancelling our order. Not quite there yet..but getting closer everyday.

Of course not.
I am thinking if I don't even get serialized by end of March (10 weeks), I am going to cancel and order and '06 from a different dealer. At that point I would not get my car until late May anyhow if I stuck with the '05. May as well wait 3-4 more months and have the '06. I am beginning to think I will not have the drop top for the summer, which is really going to p*ss me off. Anyone in the KC area, if you want your car within a reasonable time, don't go to Shawnee Mission Ford. They are nice and friendly, but their allocation must be terrible.

By the way, to those of you ordering in Nov., I really feel for you. You are far more patient than I. I do not mean by my b*tching to claim I should be ahead of you in line or anything.

KCTim,
I do not begrudge anyone getting their car ahead of me because it is not of their doing. I just really would like to see my car get to the production stage. If it is not possible for the region that I'm in (Arkansas) then I need to rethink the plan.
I hope you get yours real soon

All I did was talk to the GM at the dealership. It just so happened they were having a meeting with the Regional Manager the next day and stuff started happening. I wasn't nasty or anything, just sat down with him and we talked about it. The dealership has been great, the order process stinks. The feedback I got was that was going to be the main topic of discussion at the big wig meeting.

I agree! I knew this would take awhile. But I thought by now I would atleast have a build date. You would think with all the computerization out there nowadays they could keep us better informed.

It is kind of ridiculous that people who ordered back in November still do not have their cars. Did I just get lucky when I found my GT on the dealer lot?
Torch Red, dark charcoal int, shaker 500, upgraded wheels, active anti-theft....

On a side note, I've been silent on the My Color litigation up until now. This litigation should NOT stop the production. The basis upon which an injunction can be issued is Irreparable harm will result if not issued of which damages would not adequately cure. Unfortunately for the bonehead that filed this suit, he named his damages in the complaint, i.e. $4 per car. Therefore this becomes an issue as to patent rights litigation and intellectual property rights, not something that will stop the production of these vehicles via an injunction. I don't have any comment on the validity of his claim, I just know for a fact that if you specify your damages as detailed as this guy did, bye bye injunction.
Just my thoughts,
Ryan

pittperson I think you got very lucky you found your car on the lot. They don't sit there very long. Congrats on your find.
Just also just wanted to let you know I see your moving from Pitt to Baltimore next month.
Make sure you don't wear any Steelers attire in Balt. they're not big fans of the Heinz field gang.
