The dealer just called and my '06 has finally arrived! I'm going down to pick it up tonight!

I don't think I ever mentioned it, but, its a Vista Blue Deluxe GT, 5 speed manual, spoiler delete, Charcoal Interior...

I'm feeling a little dizzy now... four months of waiting have finally paid off!!

Got the car last night. They got everything right except for the spoiler delete. Oh well, after waiting this long, I can live with the spoiler for a while. Once it stops raining, I'll take the "owner spoiler delete option".

But the car is great; a big change from my '98. Seems so much bigger on the inside.

The tall hood reminds me of my '67 Plymouth's. It was raining really hard so I didn't have a chance to get on it, but I love that feeling of torque (compared to my old V6). Pictures coming soon!

Anybody in the Portland area who wants to deal with a really honest and low pressure salesman, ask for Don Butner at Beaverton Ford.

Hey John, was it the factory that made this error? By that, I mean was it not built per DORA?

See if the dealer has a vista blue V6 on the lot with no spoiler. If they or the factory messed up your order they might be willing to swap trunklids for you.

Oh yeah, congratulations!

I took some crappy pictures (I didn't get home from work until after dark). The spoiler delete error must have been a factory error because it was on my VOC. Oh well, I can live with it.

It seemed like everyone was out to crash into my Mustang today; on the way to work a big F350 decided he just had to pull out of the gas station and get in front of me at the stoplight, causing me to slam on the brakes to avoid him taking out my driver's side front fender.

Then on the way home, a Subaru decided to change lanes into my right front fender, so I had to slam on the brakes again to avoid getting hit. The brakes work pretty well...
