I took the leap

Hi All,
I'm a long time reader and first time poster. I visited a local Ford dealer yesterday and ordered a 2012 GT Premium with all the goodies. Color choice, race red. I've waited over 20 years for this but the next several weeks are going to seem like a lifetime.

Congrats! You're gonna love the car.

And you're right, the wait will seem like an eternity, but the first time you drive the car you will know that wait was worth every second.

I'm trying not to think about the wait. I've only waited 20 years, what's another 8 weeks.

Thanks, will do. The snow should be melted when I receive it so pictures will arrive soon after.

Ive been on some other mustang/camaro/muscle car forums, and TMS is one of the best ones so far. +1 to the mods/admins that clean-up and care for this place

Welcome! And congrats on the new gt. You will fall in love with the first drive. I'll never forget mine.... I chirped the tires and then stalled with a cop right behind me....good times.
