After ordering on July 15.

After the IUP delay.

After dealing with 2 honest salesmen and one less-than honest General Manager.

After being told my V6 Mustang would be built the week of 2/28 and delivered 3/15.

The Mustang arrived Thursday night, 5 days early.
My car is no longer a phantom. I've seen it and it looks beautiful.

And on Monday night, almost exactly 8 months from the day I ordered it,
the Mustang will be mine.

And there will be much rejoicing.

Yup, he holds the record. Longest other than him was KeraFaith, and she was at 5 months.

I think he needs a special c/t for that!

Yep he beat me. I defiently have to :worship: your patience.

Which I hate to have lost that title. Only because that means that there was someone else who had to wait longer. I mean I know what I felt like waiting 5 months. I can only imagone what he went through for an 8 month wait. I really wouldn't wish it on anyone (other than major enemies

).

Anyway. Even though you don't have any pictures I will still give you some bananas.

When you post pictures I will give you more. Congratulations. Now, go get the car & drive her till the tank is dry.

I think this should be put up as a sticky or announcement. And it rotates out when the next person (10 months?) beats it.

Congrats Mark! That is worth some mustard-covered hotdogs

You may have waited the longest but it looks like Jay's order might be the quickest!

I'll bet you guys who also ordered in January will be pulled soon!
