I'm sure he does need airline tickets but I think the tickets referred to here are for football. Alabama tickets hence the "roll Tide".

Oh yea, btw, there were some cars with window stickers in them, but I don't think you'll like what they said. NOTHING!~!! No prices at least, they are keeping that info from us too.!!! :bang: :bang:
Thanks again for the info. John.

You've confirmed my thoughts that we will NOT get official pricing until the big announcement on Sept 27.

Now, be careful with that camera, don't get yourself fired!

Maybe our 05 Mustangs doesn't smell to good? and that's why Ford gives us a Ford air freshener :shock:

On the whole orange peel thing, i gotta say that Ford is really notorious for it, but its not consistently bad for every car but sometimes its just more noticeable than others. must be a paint formula thing for them or something. Interesting thing tho is that Tauruses r rarely orange peeled. Maybe that will filter thru for more new Ford cars if they study why the tauruses seem immune to it. Orange peel or not, dont matter to the overall mechanics or look of the style of the car. orange peel isnt even really that noticeable unless youre like standing two feet infront of the car so no biggie

I hope your right 05. I am kind of compulsive. I stare at the one on my desktop all day.

Esteemed members of this board...

I ordered my Sonic Blue 2005 from a dealer in Wisconsin in the first week of July. Does anybody know about when that car will be built? I still do not have a VIN number or anything....



Happy Trails

Is there any truth to blueovalnews report of defective 4.6L or 5.4L engines?

Seeing how you work on the line,maybe you can fill us in on situation,and if this report is just a bunch of hot air?


"Sources at one of Ford's engine plants told BlueOvalNews that Ford Motor Company has instructed assembly plants to stop shipping certain 2005 model year vehicles because they can contain defective 4.6L or 5.4L engines."

"The products that can contain the defective engines include the 2005 Ford Mustang GT, 2005 F-Series, 2005 F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. Ford has instructed the assembly plants to stop shipping vehicles until they are screened to see if they contain the defective engines. It is not known if any products were shipped to consumers before the problem was noticed."

Updated: can someone who works on the line confirm this???

updated 08 September 2004, 10:00pm, est.
"We are now stating for a FACTUAL matter that Ford has ordered assembly plants to stop shipping 2005 model year vehicles due to defective 4.6L and 5.4L engines.

At this time, we are only ALLEGING that the GT "40" heads are defective."

Hey guys, First, ;et me say i've never heard anything about the defective engines, but wouldn't surprise me, give the mod motor about 25 to 30 more years and it should be alright. And i hate to say this but, Brad, i found something wrong with your info. The black of 2005 is coming up on our monitors at work as ebony!! Bummer, dude!! No, really it is, and i'm just harrassing you about it. Hey, it's 4:30 a.m. give me a break!! Anyways, can any of you guys see your car in this pic? Ha ha, got you!! Really, i'm sorry for the rain, frances finally made its way into the great white north just as i got to work, I'll take some more soon. Now, here's a little tidbits to get you going. Guess what was sitting in the hall just as i started on my way out tonite? A pretty torch red convert. six w/ the red leather int. Man, I wish I had a camera phone!!!

Looking closely at the pic the Red one in the foreground looks like it has the 18s, fan blade wheels that we were told were not available yet...picture isn't that clear though so perhaps I'm seeing things...

John, just feeding the masses aren't you? Cool info. Were you talking an uncamo'd 6 vert? You need to get yourself a small digital camera but don't get into any trouble for us.
