Drive it or Park It ?

When I finally get my car, should I drive it or park it in the driveway and admire it from the window? After all, I ordered it in january and supposedly it's built sitting in a lot somewhere. COME ON FORD, start shipping the cars or tell us why the wait! All I have is pictures so far. Delivery date was yesterday and dealer has no updates as to in transit. We're dying out here.

My date was yesterday as well, however mine is a lot closer then I thought. Yours might be too!

Hi Bart,

The last we heard, (and we were off yesterday, although Reid placed a call on your behalf to our order person) your Mustang was in Mesquite. We are hoping that it comes in by tomorrow, although Reid just went to check on whether by chance, it came in last night.

We'll be in touch....

I think all this waiting has made everyone punch drunk. I hope we all get our cars soon so we have some real topics to talk about.

Drive the car, that is what it is for. Your are starting to sound like some of the corvette NCRS purists that believe in trailer queens.

This wasn't a serious question. Just blowing off some steam. I will be spending much time in the car. I can hear my wife now....................."Are you going to sleep in that thing?"

Just make sure you leave the security off. Hard to sleep with a sonic motion sensor picking up your every move.

You are not alone!
I forgot.
Or the other comment "How many coats of wax does that need."
Or, "You just washed it"
Thanks for the reminder!

Looks Great!!! I didn't like the 'Pony Package' wheels at first, but now they have grown on me. I ordered the 'Pony Package' too. Do your door sill 'MUSTANG' light up? Did you order the lighted door sills as an option? I thought it was standard with either the 'Pony Package' or the 'Premium Package'. I am a little worried because the Ford build site is showing the lighted door sills as an option.

LUCKY!!! LUCKY!!!
