The Mustang now has a "scheduled build date" ... 7-25-2012

As in, less than 10 days away

It's getting closer to being HERE

I can't wait !!!!

The car was built on Wednesday 7-25-2012 and is currently on a train somewhere in NY ... the ETA-to-dealer is August 8th, but it may be here sooner

On a side note, it's looking more and more like the Charger will be the trade-in, and NOT the Focus ... it'd be the more sensible thing to do to keep the Focus instead of having 2 gas-guzzlers ... plus, there are some things with the Charger that have always bugged me and there are noises that I just don't want to hear anymore ...

Well, it's here !!!

It was unlucky enough to arrive with a broken-off passenger-side mirror.
It will get replaced before I take delivery.

I stopped by today with my girlfriend and took it out for a spin

I only wound it out to about 5500 RPM (it goes to 7,000) but it was still freakin awesome ... I can't wait to take delivery

Thanks!

The cloth Recaros are optional on the base/"Deluxe"-model V6 and 5.0L cars.

When you get a "Premium" model, the Recaros are leather.

Ahh ok, that's why I don't recall seeing them, I leaped straight to "Premium" and never optioned other choices. Hmmm, I'd almost rather have cloth recaros. I have leather now and it's nice, especially on my current car since it has suede inserts to it's not warm and sticky in summer, freezing in winter.

Cloth would not ever be either.
