Where's my car?

I spoke to the dealer 2 weeks ago and he said my car was built. It was supposed to arrive 2 days ago but now I've been told that it could be another 2 weeks. If it's already been built then what could be the holdup?
I'm thinking if it's not in 'til the end of March I might just order an '08. I ordered a white GT/CS and now I'm thinking I should've ordered another color anyway. I guess the 2 biggest considerations are having it for the spring vs. depreciation and the fact that the '08's will be out in a few months and there may be some worthwhile new options. If grabber blue would've been available in '08 I definitely would've just waited. Any thoughts?

White looks killer... hold out the extra 2 weeks. You'll most likely get a call in a week or so to come pick up your car!

I wouldn't mind getting a white GT to go along with my '68 Fastback GT: http://home.pacbell.net/zippom/sun_mustang.jpg

White rocks!!

When I ordered mine on Feb 06 last year , it was built on 03/1 and it took 16 days to get to Austin , 14 days from San Antonio. They explained that the delay was a shortage of car haulers.

Just wait it out.

Mine was built on a Friday and arrived at the dealer on Monday. But then again the dealer was about 3 hours from AAI.
