Well, I got the call yesterday that my car was in, so today I took my Truck down to Car Max and got a good offer on it and sold it to them. That took longer then I thought it would, so I was late getting over to the Dealership to pick up my new car. :angry:
But, the car looked good when I got there and everything went pretty smooth and pretty soon I was on the new road with my new Pony!
My first stop was Discount Tire where I traded the stock tires/wheels for some 17 inch tires/wheels. Here's a link to some more details, and close ups in the exterior mods section in case you're interested.

I've had the car for a couple of hours, but my first impressions are that Ford has really put out a quality Car!
The fit and finish are really good inside and out, and there are no obvious paint flaws except for a small amount of orange peal on the trunk that you can only see close up in bright day light. It's not enough to complain about. :scratch:
I'm really tired right now, but tomorrow I'm going to drive the wheels off of it!
Ford has done a really good job with this car! :worship:

I think that says enough. Congratulations. It looks like I have about a month to go.

Beautiful set of wheels, Bart! Literally. I am partial to the Legend Lime myself!
Hope you enjoy your new car and share your impressions with us on a regular basis. Did you get any sort of credit for your tires? Or did you keep them as spares?
Here's a rockin' nanner for ya: :rock:

Yeah, they gave me $400 total for the stock tires/wheels which I thought was pretty good! So the total for everything was $900 which I thought was pretty good.
I spent a couple of hours today driving around today. Lots of fun! Went all around this local lake and back. The new pony was nice and stable and the shaker 500 stero sounded great. I had no issues loading or playing the CD's that I burned. I loaded 6 CD-R's which hold pretty much my entire Music collection! It's really cool, I'm glad I got that!
Then I spent a couple of hours washing and cleaning my Pony. See how pretty!
Well, that's all for now, if you have any other questions feel free to ask!
