Sexy car there joke.

People like to make fun of those who get frustrated but I completely understand what you went through. My car gained so much more hype while I was waiting for 2 months after build. The fact that this vehicle was still able to live up to my expectations and then some is a testament to the quality and power they exude.

Now lets see some MOA PIX!!!!

It does exist! Congrats, Joker! Front plates make me sad, but I imagine you did not have much choice. Got any plans for the wheels? I never was a fan of Ford's default wheels, but maybe you feel differently!

I want to get new wheels. But is it worth 1400 dollars (including tires) ? I can't justify that kind of cash for rims/tires.

I could easily afford it, just doesn't seem like a good way to spend 1400 dollars. I could get a tricked out new computer for that or buy a ton of premium Blue Label.

Seems like a pretty typical price. Actually that's not too terrible. Try pricing the wheels that are built when you order, then you will be digging in those pockets!

It's a hard piece to bite, spending that much on new wheels but it's all up to you my friend. If you like the wheels you have and don't want to waste the money then just keep on truckin. Sometimes you will find good deals of OEM take offs too!

Your choice man, great looking car though!

Out of all the wheel choices the 2011's came with, the stock 18's are my favourite. It was an easy choice for me!

Plus rubber is cheaper!

Beautiful car man, good luck with it. I too would try to work on changing the wheels but I also understand what you're saying about the $1,400.

I got the 84 month ESP but only with 48k miles because I so rarely drive.

Now I'm kinda wishing I did 60k...

Put your wheels/tires up on ebay, you will be able to pay for over half of the cost of the new ones.

Respectfully,

Hey, good news! My favorite conservative finally gets his cool car!

Are you bummed that the steering wheel is on the left?

Enjoy it, my friend . . . .

Thanks.

The skip shift bums me more. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

Treat your car like a little ***** and it will do the same to you.

I think mine knows better than to skip shift.
