Been watching this site from the side for a very long time. Have learned a lot from everyone here.

Had plans to originally order my car this month thru the Ponydrive and enjoy the good ride and breaking in my baby back to Las Vegas.

By chance, checking inventory on forddirect.com last week, local dealership showed inventory on color and model that I wanted(GT Windveil). Drove down after work and was told that they did not receive it yet. Left my name and number for a call back when it showed up so that I could check it out because it was a convertible. Had never seen one up close with the top up. Figured, if I liked the it, I could order a 2006'. Got a call back the next day during lunch that the car had just arrived. Didn't figure it was available but asked anyhow. It was not spoken for, the dealership had ordered the car for themselves for their showroom floor. Went down, fell in love with the convertible look and took possession that night.

Wife says this is redemption from Ford pulling the rug out from under me. Ended up getting everything I wanted and more.

Finally got the chance to let the excitement out to you guys and take a breather from behind the wheel. Right arm and left foot need a rest. Not used to all this shifting. This car is such a blast. Best car I have ever owned.

Pic's to follow soon.

Holy cow on a cone!! That is one beautiful car. But now I'm seriously having second thoughts on getting a vert instead of a coupe

Very very nice.

BTW Did anyone ever notice how big these Mustang's are? Every time I see one parked somewhere (Including my wifes), they are always taking up at least 2 parking spacing but mostly 4 spaces.
