As for the people who had placed their orders before April, I don't know how you've lasted this long. You car's been exposed to the elements and dirty for what, 3 months+ now? This is literally the biggest purchase I've made of my life (not to mention my first gamble with a non-import car) and it's becoming extremely unpleasant. I'm definitely going to remember this next time/if I want another Ford.
Yeah I'm *****ing a lot today. The endless "my car is here" threads are wearing me down.

I just figure there are things I can actually do something about that I can worry about instead. It will get here eventually, and I still have access to transportation in the mean time... which was supposed to be my '04, but my sister got impatient and took it for good. She had to borrow it for a trip she'd been planning for weeks, and by the time she's back, my new car should be here anyway.

Maybe it's that timing chain issue we heard about.
Got another update from the dealer, seems the car has an official ETA of June 26th now. Depending on how well things can be arranged I should have it Saturday night. Will depend largely on if the dealer and the bank can have everything prepped same day.

Alas, probably not to be, I got a deeper explanation when he called me. I don't believe Ford issued a fresh ETA and it seems he went and tracked down the rail car. It's due to arrive in the city on Thursday. Depending on how long it takes to unload it and to get a truck to pull it to the dealership, he expects Saturday. But hey, maybe I'll get lucky!

Not really, I work at a Ford plant and I was lucky to find someone inside with the right credentials to access that part of the computer system to get to Vehicle Visibility. I think the dealers can access it as well? I'm just looking for someone now, who can decode the data that I acquired from it???

You've got to stop calling Ford CS. It seems pretty clear that their information is, at best, innacurate and probably totally useless. I've been much happier since I stopped calling them and just started living in a dream world where I imagine that my car is on a truck mere blocks from the dealership as I write this.

Whenever I call Ford CS I give them the last update IN DETAIL that I got from my dealer's VV so they know that I know that they know. Then they give me a bit more detail. "Dan" at Ford CS is a pain won't even tell you the timestamp of your last status update.
i shoulda waited for job2. If my car doesn't ship by the end of next week I will try to cancel and see if I can get a yellow blaze gt.

I really hate how they pretend to be super excited for us, they're always like "OMFG YOU ORDERED A GT?!?!?! WOW CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Makes it worse when they tell me my car is still "in processing with no ETA"

my girlfriend gets back on saturday.
i'm getting bored hanging out at the rooftop pool and playing league of legends.
maybe i should get really drunk with my friends this weekend. haven't done it in a month or so. might drunk dial ford cs and cuss them out. prolly not a good idea.
and yeah fake enthusiasm from ford cs is funny.

Your best bet would try to find someone who works at Auto Alliance, that has access to their computer system that is willing to help, your dealer has access to Vehicle Visibilty as well.

Here's a question for you dealers out there. If a dealership takes delivery of a couple of stock 2011s, is there usually a delay before any more 2011s get delivered to that same dealer? For example, yesterday my dealer received two 2011 5.0s so should I expect some time before they get any more cars delivered or could they get more as soon as today (at random)?

From my understanding they are limited by dealer allocation. I believe it's based on how many is sold, someone can correct me if I'm wrong however. That's why if you ordered yours before May 31st you could go through retail order verification which would let the dealer order 11's for people outside of what they were allocated.
