Thanks, Son of Growly! Sent her a PM.

 

Hi Everyone,
I have been reading this forum posts for sometime now and it gives me a lot of confidence to see the support and happiness that is shared amongst the group when ordering a mustang. My dealer submitted my order on 4/29/2015 for a Black Ecoboost Premium convertible with Redline Premier Trim interior and 18" foundry black Wheels. I am excited and can't wait to get more information. Deysha, you are the rockstar of this group so hoping to hear from you more in keeping us updated.
Thanks.

 

Welcome to the family Stanggod. Frankly, this is the only place where I find folks who understand the waiting process. It sure helps to pass the time until we are all driving. It has only been three weeks for me and already friends and family leave the room when they see me coming with the glazed look in my eye and yet another picture or trivia fact or piece of history about Mustangs.

Chuckle.

 

Thanks, fusion37! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Congrats and thank you for the PM, DeviledBLUE!

Thank you for the support, Son of Growly!

It’s on the rail car. Doesn’t show it left yet, but it will soon, BigEasyGT.

Welcome and congrats, stanggod! Thank you for the PM and the kind words. I’ll get back to you soon.

Deysha,
Any update for me today?
Sent PM yesterday afternoon.

Thanks!

 

Me too Deysha. Sent yesterday as well. Thank You

 

Hi Stanggod,
There is 4 phases as you can see here.
- Ordered (You know & are in control)
- Born (pretty easy & fast)
- Limbo (You have to be VERY PATIENT, nobody can help you or Ford on that phase)
- In transit (you want to be there soon & you down want to get back Limbo an other time )

Timeline no one understand the pattern (Color, Engine, Package)
Most of the time Rep and Regional Rep told me it's a Transportation Issue

Good Luck

 

Rail service up in the Dakotas is slow. We have oil, coal, and grains all competing for the same rail space. They even stopped the Amtrak service across ND and bussed people across the state instead for a while. I drive by the rail yard everyday in hopes of seeing my ruby red convertible sitting in the lot

 

Time to move to NJ :-) Mine made it to the rail drop off terminal in 5 days. Still waiting for a truck to take it to my dealer.

 

EDD updated to 5/17. I'm assuming the car left Michigan this morning.

 

Deysha just told me it's already in Louisiana waiting to be trucked to the dealer, good lord! Must have shipped over the weekend. Maybe my dealer was right and I'll be in it this week!

 

Gotta tell you BigEasyGT - I am a little jealous - not only will you soon be driving your brand new GT,you will be doing it in one of the nicest states in the Union. Louisiana, yup, a little jealous I am.

 

Deysha has just informed me that mine as well was loaded on rail today headed to Idaho. ...thanks again Deysha

 

Except of course for the potholes in new orleans. I live and work about 5 minutes from the city so the roads are ok here, but once I cross the canal into "true" new orleans I've gotta keep a sharp eye out especially since the PP has no spare.

 

Houston is just as bad... road quality here are the worst I've ever seen!

 

Sounds like a new thread developing here - best roads/worst roads?

Here in Montreal we have potholes. Recently they have been converting themselves into block long sink holes in the downtown core. Fun.

But at least in Louisiana and Texas you can drive year round - my car will be under snow for 4 months of the year!

Happy driving!

 

It's kind of funny when I get asked how the winters are down here. My response is usually "it's one hell of a week!" lol

 

Sounds like summers up here!

 

COTUS Changed to "In Transit" today! It's about freaking time. This is the first movement I've seen since 4/8. Built 3/30.

 

Still awaiting shipment here ...maybe i will actually be the last one.
