I do not but 10 is the best priority that your dealer can assign so 12 doesn't seem too bad... But 10 is better. :-)

I called C. S. again today...They told me the sales manager tried to call me yesterday to tell me it's now scheduled for build (Though still no VIN). I called him...He said they'd sold four others and couldn't get their allotment increased, and that's why it's taken 8 weeks and still no VIN. I guess I should have called C.S. sooner. Sad that a small-town dealer can't get deliveries when they've sold cars.

So where is it written that they want to meet demand over making it a desirable sought over car.

Ive rec'd a post the other day fr another member, which he said he's posted earlier, that the problem with ford is that the v-6 eng also goes into the f-150 and since ford sells more of them than our ponies, we're left at the back of the pack.

As for some of the paint I was told when I call CS that the special colors come out of Japan (?) and since the accident and weather there its on hold.

Ive been waiting three weeks for some news on my order and all I get is nothing, and after reading all the comments, the bow tie seems I made a bad decision.
