We wanted to set up a place to chat while we wait. Found each other over on blueovalforums in the Vehicle Build Status thread, but this is a better site to chat (or whatever you want to call it?). Anyone is welcome. We're all just waiting for our new babies and pretty excited about it.
I have a question - we ordered the 64W's, but the dealer said they're not available. Looks like some are on the cars going through the factory right now. Anyone know the real answer on this?
Also, our dealer can't figure out how to order the dark IUP. Any clues?
Thanks!

I don't know if this means anything but-
The bottom of the VOC reads:
"INFO:REFER TO THE ORDER GUIDE DATED 11/1/05
TO VERIFY DESIRED WHEEL OPTION"

This makes our cars seem very inexpensive:

I wonder what the Shelby's will be? :scratch:
If Car & Driver's info is right it should be the same $2100. I doubt that will stop any buyers.

When one can afford 150k+ for a car, one does not worry about a silly little tax. Nor does one "pay the bill". They have people that take care of that simple task for them. Must be nice.

Can't believe I don't have a ship date yet. Everybody else's build date, release date, and ship dates are the same or very close to the same. I can't help being concerned about it since I want everything to go smoothly... plus I want the car NOW!!
Hope it's either that delay on the convertible tops or just a lag in the system.

At least I can use your lagtime to figure out what mine will be. I bet it will ship today or tomorrow at the latest. That's a 1-week lag from production. I would think that would be enough time for ragtop to cure, huh? I hope there's not a quality hold on it.

I called to tell THEM that it was built and they didn't know yet! 
Guess they don't check for updates hourly, like us!
I told him I wouldn't ask for another update until next month, so I can't ask until Wednesday...

I have read that most of the "movement" occurs on Thursdays.

Checking the Blue Oval and TMS several times a day is starting to become a habit.

So Bill, are you going to wait until Friday to ask for an update, or Thurs? I think I'll post after K's update on Wed, hoping he'll update on Thurs. Then if nothing, again on Fri. How impatient am I?
Tom - that is so awesome! So you kept it in original working condition? Were you on the force or did you purchase it? Do they not make you remove lights and such? Drive it much? That brings back such bittersweet memories of my '89 LX 5.0 convertible. I just want to touch it!!
Donna - thanks for supporting us "waiters". I checked out some of your links - so the V6 wasn't enough power for you?
I love both cars, but on the bellsouth homepage, I wanted to see the before and after, but it looks like the links are broken. Looks like you have tons of fun with your GT!!

Oh, and Donna, no I'm not from SC... I'm from FL. I do want to find a Fun Ford Weekend or something up there so I can show it!
