Its on a Convoy

’cause we got a little convoy
Rockin’ through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain’t she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin’ convoy
’cross the u-s-a.

(Just messing with you)

Yep, it's on a truck.. You should find out where it's at, hunt it down, and demand they unload it right then and there..

I think convoy carrier means it's getting real close.

I know mine has been stuck in Ohio at a mixing lot all week because of the bad weather in the midwest. It might be affecting your car too. I am still looking at another week for delivery. So much for the 12/29 ETA...

Hey Rene', right before I got my car its status was "shipped to convoy". It stayed that way for like 3 weeks. It arrived at the dealership and the Ford Computer still said that, so you could get it anytime. Good Luck with the wait.

My 05 Mustang GT was shipped convoy carrier. And when I got it, it had 40 miles on it. Your truck driver is taking his time because he is driving it each night.

Until yesterday, my cars status was 'shipped by convoy carrier on Dec 15, with an arrival date of 12-24. I finally got my dealer to check on it yesterday, and he found that it had been sitting at plant for 3 weeks. Today, the status was changed to 'Shipped by rail on Jan 3, with a delivery date of Dec 24.' Dec 24?!?!?

Having sold my Cobra Dec 28 in anticipation of having the 05 just anyday, and now still on foot for another couple of weeks, the dealer had pity on me - he gave me an 05 at no charge to drive until my car comes in.

This could change my whole perception of car salesmen.

Ah I see I'm not the only one

It sat all alone in a plant holding lot from Nov 23 - Jan 2

At least it's finally coming

That's quite possible - he told me to use the car however I needed to, no mileage restrictions.

I typically drive 1000 - 1200 miles per week. B)

It could have been rubbin' paint with mine for the last month.

Mine's red too, so it won't show.

But by alone, I meant human companionship

I hope our cars didn't feel unwanted

My Mustang was in the 'shipped by convoy' status from 12/14 until 12/26 when the status changed to 'arrived at the ramp', then I got the call on 12/27 that the car was at the dealership.
