Got the call this morning that the car was in. 11-1/2 weeks from order date to delivery. I realize that's not bad in comparison to some others here, but it seemed like forever.

It had 1.9 miles on it when I saw it this morning, pre-PDI. Had 6 miles on it when I picked it up. My salesman filled the gas tank, so that was a decent gesture.

All I can say is, this car really ROCKS!!

I'm pleasantly surprised at how loud it is, exhaust-wise. B) Noticeably louder than my '95 GT.

It's also noticably bigger too, so it will take awhile to get used to. It's got 20 miles on it now. It' going to be fun breaking it in.

Here's some pics before the PDI, and at delivery time with my salesman. I'm the old guy with the hat. B)

Just wanted to let you know ... you pay for that gas. Its not a "gesture". Check your DORA/VOC.

Congrats on the car, enjoy it.

Very NICE!!! Looks just like the mustang i'm going to order, except i'm going to add the Roush tail and some black stripes or something. How did you decide on the yellow? Just curious as to how you decided. Did you always know you were going to order that color, or did it take some time to decide?

Great looking car. I saw a screaming yellow GT on the way home from work today here in Louisiana. Looks even better in person.

Lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky YOU! Congratulations and enjoy your new car, Bill. I'd be jealous, but I'm too happy for you.

Grantsdale is right, the VOC states that they include 2 gallons of gasoline. I guess it's up to the dealer to top it off. Dealer did you right. Least they could do considering the money you're spending, right?

Great color choice. If I can't get Legend Lime in '05 and don't like Lime Gold in '06, Screaming Yellow is on my short list... :worship:

You pay for a few gallons. Ford reimburses your dealer for the remainder of the fill.
