Yeah, dealer CSI is going to go WAY DOWN because of this. And I have no problem helping it out.

Oh it hasn't been alone

Our cars were put out to stud with the hybrids. End up with a bunch of little Fiestas.

Lol. Just read an article on autonews.com that said the Fiesta people are furious because Ford said they'll be out "This summer" and they correlated that to June 1st. Two weeks "Late" and they're having conniptions.

Summer doesn't start for another week. Don't these people have calenders? Besides, Ford didn't say "start of summer", they said "summer". So long as we see Fiestas before Sept 22, that is (technically) "summer"... just like seeing 2011 Mustangs before June 21 is (technically) "Spring".

Eh, most people live by the unofficial start/end of summer: Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. It fits with typical school scheduling better.

Ah school, I remember that! The days when summer meant somthing. Now it's just the period of time where I sweat in the heat wearing a suit, while waiting for a BUS the )(&)*&^)*& MTA cut from service!!!


Today I went from Ramp 5P with no real ETA to a CSX railcar (ETTX 710964)......


.....
.....
WITH NO ETA...

At least with the railcar number you can track it on its journey!

I tracked mine all the way to Jessup, MD last Thursday... where it is sitting. Again, just sitting. It's good to see Ford shipping the cars but they're STILL not quite getting to the dealers. 3 days by train to cover 4 states and then 4 more days to sit in a parking lot less than 50 miles away. I even offered to go get it.

Not to break away from you guys but I am glad somone brought this up. Isn't it neat that Fiesta owners got in a tizzy about their supposed delivery time frame that hasn't even happened until technically today, and they get national attention? Awesome, the Mustang stoppage is being kept on the down low pretty well. I'm sure Fiestas will outnumber Mustangs 5 to 1 but either way, it just put a smile on my face that Fiestas were causing such a stir. I guess the times are really a changin' I mean, I don't really see what all the commotion is about anyway...

I mean ****, kickin' it old school just got kicked up a notch!

Anyway, apparently Fiestas are passionate pieces of automotive interest now. Mustang is loosing some cool points.

Sorry guys, back to the Mustang Fies...I mean fiasco!

That can't possibly be relevant! That car is right-hand drive.
