Congrads April:

Can you maybe post some interior shots sometime? Also a nice review (after you had the car for a while) of how the V6 drives etc would be great.

Lucky lucky lucky YOU! That car is beautiful! Makes me want to watch "Gone In 60 Seconds" again (the original).

Best of luck with your new wheels, April. She's a beaut!

Merry Christmas April. Evidently Santa thought you had bee such a good girl this year that you could get your present early. HO HO HO!!!!

Congrats girl. I am totally estatic for you. Now how about some pictures of the interior?

Steve ~ I think she was saying that she was gettin the yellow 05 & her husband was getting the red 04. JMO. I could be wrong about that though. Thats just what I kinda got out of it.

Happy Holidays Everyone

Congrats on the new wheels, April !!

OK, this afternoon you had resigned yourself to buying a red 04 for your husband's car, and you were going to have to wait for MY 2006 for Eleanor to come home.

Obviously something big changed when you got to the dealership.

Details, please. Inquiring minds want to know...

Now that I have put the first 100 miles on her and quit having panic attacks ( I had 3) I can tell the story.

When we got up this morning, it was OH CRAP what do we do, we have one car. Hey, remember that ***** of a salesman at X&X(Roush on Christmas eve dealer) So I did, but to hedge my bet I called the salesman at Ernest Mccarty Ford by me.

First salesman calls back- I can put you in an 04, I say I don't care anymore, do it.
You can not have my high dollar jacked up 05 yellow. :scratch: Go figure.
So as we are walking out the door, I tell Brian- lemme call JR one more time. I call him, he says he is working something up give him a couple minutes. So I tell Brian- I don't have time for this- lets just GO there.
So as we are walking in the door, JR says- We are just finishing up the paperwork- look over there, shes yours unless you want the torch red instead. I had been told the yellow was sold(people keep putting deposits on it and keep falling through) so I look at him and say without thinking YOU ARE F****** with me! No I am not, merry Christmas. So the tears start........

He walks me outside on the pretense of looking at the redfire parked up front- and I frigging lose it.......Hes like QUIT people are going to think I am beating you out here. Here comes the salesman- I calm down enough after two men consoling me......

We do the paperwork, they clean her up, we get the keys. Brian drives the olds home. Then JR and I go across to fill er up.
As I am departing- I lose it again, I can NOT believe it. I drive home blubbering the whole way.
So I get home and dealer A(ugh) calls- you still coming in? I politely tell him to stick it, he asks why- OH BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT A YELLOW from Ernest Mccarty. He says- you should have told me you wanted an 05- I said I did you donkey named jack and you said I couldn't have it, have a nice life and I hung up.May he get a boil on his **** .
I get home, load my cds in, and take off to show my Dad- 55 mile each way. He is in love too. I drove him about 3 miles, revved her for him and drove home.
Got home, took it for chinese, wiped other peoples drool off it, and she is parked inside her new home now.

Fun Facts: I didn't know the shaker stayed on till you opened the door.
Fun Fact 2- PEOPLE BREAK THEIR NECKS LOOKING
Fun Fact 3- Give me six months- she will Be Eleanor.
I broke the shaker in with Dark side of the moon by pink floyd.
