Thanks man. You too!! I had a tab just for that URL and I'd just hit refresh every so often, then it took awhile to load and I was like omg....omg....omg...then I about dislocated my elbows when I threw my arms up and scared the crap outta my dog!
I dunno why but the window sticker feels like such a big step, I know the date is 7/19 and thats a solid 3 weeks out (can't complain about time off for the 4th) but it feels good.

Sorry I just needed to vent.
Did your status say awaiting shipment when it got to your depot?
Joelstang, Right now I don't know what the status says. I haven't asked Deshya or call customer service since it is virtualy here all I know is that it is sitting at the rail depot with a status of hot and they say it will be here tomorrow. I hope so. I want to pick it up this week, but it needs the stripes installed first. so here's hoping. This is what it should look like when it is ready.

Sorry Folks!
The pictures of my new Mustang were promised to be posted four weeks ago. I do not own a still camera and it has taken me this long to figure out how to record still images on my video camera using a media card, then transferring those images to the computer. Let's hope that the final step of posting them here can be accomplished without a hitch.

Yeah, so my car is only 20 miles away from my dealer and it is just sitting there with an ETA of the week of the 6th. That is the most retarded crap I've ever heard. How does a car move 1500 miles in 4 days just to sit 20 miles away and collect dust. I have waited a long time for this car and I'm on the verge of walking away from it and buying something else. Sorry guys, had to vent.

We were lucky to get these before the color was discontinued. Enjoy.

Hey Deysha,
Based on what you're seeing on VIN pick vs build week, how many more weeks do I have to get a VIN before I am into a September delivery? Looking at the posted VIN/build dates, I think I am getting pretty close.
I ask because if the car does not get delivered before September, I will cancel the order and try again in March. A September delivery only gives me 3 - 4 weeks to enjoy a convertible before it goes into the garage for the winter. So I might as well wait instead of paying to have the car sit so soon.
If you can be honest in the open forum, fantastic, if not.. pm me.. I will not hold you liable

Thanks for your help Deysha. Can't wait for tomorrow when I can pick her up. it was pure torture just only being able to sit in the car and not drive it yesterday. It hadn't been through service for its delivery checkup yet. so I just got to sit in it and play with the sync system some. The sad thing is I am already buying items for it. I have purchased the tri-bar and pony for the fenders and smaller ones for the interior door pannels. I just ordered some hood struts and the engine cover. I have got to stop. For now at least.

It's here !!!!!!!! Swung by the dealer on my way back from a doctor's appointment, hoping on the chance that my Boss 302 showed up. It rolled off the transporter about 5 mins prior to me arriving.
Snapped a few quick crappy pics as I couldn't stay around and needed to get back to work. I don't think my sales guy even knows it's here yet !!
I'll post a few pics in a little while ...

One negative - the passenger side airbag panels on the dash (you know, the 401A dash I paid an extra $395 for): one of them was dented, so now I have to take the car BACK to the dealer (40 minutes away in another city) so the right person can look at it and order a replacement part (and then go back again at a later date to get it instaled). When i pointed it out to them after 6pm Monday night, this ONE person who can order such stuff was already gone for the day! I have half a mind to speak to the dealer's GM tomorrow, since his dealer's bureaucratic BS is causing me considerable inconvenience! The GM is the only who can cut thru the red tape for me.

Good to hear your enjoying a mustang again (besides the airbag panel). I assume that grabber blue makes you smile every time you look at it. I have to do a double take every time I walk up to my car!!!
