Congrats Ricky... You need yours sooner than us anyway... you only get 5 days of good driving weather I hear!

Hey Ray,

Thanks to remind me that this baby will be sleeping about 5 months a year hidden under a cover!

Of course I will catch up the other 7 months... maybe a trip to SoCal...

Ray,

Does the VIN means anything in regards to production number?

I will check my order date tomorrow once back at work.
So far, the tape says
-----------------
VEHICULE NUMBER = 1ZVBP8JSxxxxxxxxx (Censored VIN )
RECPT DATE = 02/02
SCHD DATE =
STATUS DATE = 02/15 SUB TO PLANT
ORD TYP = RET
------------------
There is also a few other codes and number that I have no idea.

More to come next week I guess...

I officially ordered the car Feb 2nd.
The DORA was faxed to me from my dealer on the 5th, but the DORA listing receipt is dated Feb 2nd.

You may want to check how the dealer ordered the vehicle ( retail with your name or stock order). I changed mine in the system today after I received communication from Ford stating that they're not scheduling retail orders for March production.

Mine is marked as RET (retail I guess)

Anyway, there is no way I will drive it in March or early April in here. Early May would be nice.
Also, if they find bugs on the initial batch, they will fix them for retail cars.

100% true on that. I got the same message from my Ford rep. No retail orders yet.

This doesn't neccessarily mean the Stock orders will ship first?... From another post I read that talked about previous years... they'll build them and then bury them in alot... and First in (the lot) was more like last out (to the dealer). I don't know if that's the plan behind this? Weather still sucks anyway... I wouldn't want mine built now to sit outside in a lot.... in the cold.... in rain and snow... the first 4 weeks after getting fresh paint.....
