Mine was delivered to the dealer today. I called and asked them not to drill the front bumper if it isn't too late. I'll go in Friday to pick it up. I hope I can sleep tonight!

I wish my car was on the same train as yours, Steve. I'm about 3-4 hours south of you and the last sighting of my car was in arkansas. My ETA is aug. 20th. I'm hoping for a birthday miracle and get the car early.

My car is somewhere in Texas. I called the salesperson, but had to leave a voice mail for him to call me back. He hasn't called back yet, so I guess its not at the dealership yet. I'm hoping it gets here soon.

My parts are slowly coming in while I wait on her from the rail yard!! (love my 20's)
My Dealer is asking if I want to do the Ford racing lowering kit..(which will not void the warranty) for 950.00 installed..

I asked the dealer not to drill the front bumper to add a license plate, but now I've found out that "Craig's Custom Mustang Bracket" doesn't fit this car. Maybe there's a way to attach the plate in the area just below the bumper? I'll have paper plates for a little while, so that'll buy me time to figure this out. Any ideas appreciated!
Also, hopefully your car will turn up this weekend, Cory!

I got a bracket from Craig that fits my 2011... I had to contact him directly about it... but I am lukewarm about it and may mount the factory license plate holder any day now.
Now, back on topic.

Well it finally arrived this past Thursday the 12th - 6 and one half months since ordering! I think everyone has heard a lot of the ordeal already. The part that there really was no excuse for was it sitting in a rail yard in Michigan for 3 weeks after the final hold was lifted July 2 before they finally gave up and brought it back to AAI near the end of July. When it finally got on a rail car in early August the rail car broke twice, once prior to leaving and again when it arrived in MA. At that point nobody knew where it was until I made a lot of calls to the local rail transport. When I picked the car up the salesperson thanked me for providing her with contact information!
So glad it is all over. I never expected a car purchase to end up being such a stressful experience.
Love the car though! The best way to describe its acceleration is that it is like a video game -except in this case you need to be a lot more careful! Handling is incredible. Nicest car I have ever driven. Here are a couple of pictures.

My mustang is finally delivered. I got the call today, but too bad I'm about 7 hours away. My wife has been gracious enough to cut our trip by one day and leave early in the morning, so I can pick the car up by the time the dealership closes at five. I have asked the sales guy to take pics, so I can post later.
Any way my vin 5141820 is delivered on Aug. 18th after 3 months.

I have one on my 330i and you can't see it at all unless you're standing right next to the car. It's been there for eight years and there is no sign of yellowing or peeling so I will definitely be putting one on the Mustang when it arrives.
