New guy, hopefully new Mach 1 owner

So as requested at registration.... here's the about me post.

Mid 50's guy from Pittsburgh. Always loved cars. First Mustang experience was my mom's 1974 with a 4-speed. She'd let me sit in the passenger seat and watch her push the clutch in and then I'd shift. Fell in love with manuals and probably will never buy an automatic fun car. Daily drivers for the past 20+ years have been Silverados. Starting in my 30's I bought a used 1997 Cobra, used 1999 Cobra, then for my 40th birthday a used 2003 Cobra. Kept them each for a couple years, run out of money because of the kids, sell it, buy the next one, etc. Bought my first brand new one for my 50th birthday, a 2018 GT with performance package 1. Would have kept it for a long time till the Mach 1's were announced and it was all over. Ordered the Mach 1 for 2% under invoice on March 22, sold my GT in mid-May. Now Ford and the dealer have been driving me insane with the M1 order, 11 production date delays since ordering and still no estimated arrival time in sight. Silver premium with the Tremec and handling package. Hopefully someday I'll get it.

Nice pics. It must have been hard to part with the 2018 GT but I'm sure you got a pretty penny for it. I just received my 2021 GT a couple weeks ago (ordered it in early March). You will eventually get your Mach 1 and it will have been worth the wait. Can't wait to see some pics when you receive it. I will start a post on mine (I'm new to the forum).
