Why would you want to either of those when a spark plug jack is the tool you really need?

...Just so you know, I was only kidding.

I'm not buying into any STUPID RUMOR UNLESS IT COMES DIRECTLY FROM FORD!

I seen a California Special 2011 Mustang yesterday in Grabber Blue at a very large Mustang Show here in Central Florida. The only thing I didn't care for was the Chinsy plastic Valve Covers. Yeah it's a hard special plastic, whatever, but it seems chinsy to me.

Trust me. NOTHINGS ON HOLD. HAVE PATIENCE!!!!!

Have you forgotten to tell us about that famous Snap On calendar you got when buying those fancy tools.

My car was scheduled for build tomorrow. Is the hold the reason that the window sticker hasn't been posted yet. Just wondered, since some buyers with higher VINs than mine have had the stickers posted already.

Ford does not build cars in sequence, so high and lower VIN's have nothing to do with who's built first. However, the window sticker not showing might be due to the hold...

Didn't know if they did or not, but in 1969, my soon to be wife and her brother ordered identically equipped yellow 1970 Mach 1s. They arrived with consecutive VINs. He still has his, but shortly after we were married I convinced her to sell hers because I just couldn't fit in that car.

Just a question, is this hold going to be days, weeks, or even months? I really have no idea what the hold is for or what it even could be, but it seems as if there are plenty of people here that seem to be in the know. Is this something that is going to be fixed/corrected soon? My car was already built, so is it going to take long to get mine ready to be shipped?

Also, how long would it take once the car actually leaves AAI before it gets to me in SE PA, right outside of Philly?
