Sun bleached, like a bad burn.
Only problem is that its been raining here, we have had a good stretch of sun and heat, but latey, lots of rain.
(ACID Rain!)
You mean my garage queen has been rained on?

Not just rained on, it poured buckets the last few days. We had some bad storms roll thru recently. At least the Flat Rock area didn't get any hail. That would really suck. I am amazed how dirty they get just sitting, even under the hood. They are getting a real world water test sitting out in those lots. Bird crap and all.

Don't scare with the hail stories.

Sitting at Auto Alliance, my ETA, as it has been for weeks, is still set for July 2.

What is the normal process? Alliance? Ramp? ship via rail or truck?

Anybody have any idea why a Boss would be sent to the Wayne, MI assembly plant?

After it's "produced" it states "in transit" and moves to ramp 51, aka the black hole where it sits for days weeks or months. Then it moves to ramp 5P for loading where it can also sit for several days. The way you know for sure it's shipped is when the railcar number has been assigned. Even then it can still sit for a day or two until it moves out.

Not necessarily Traveler1949. When they ship by truck there are rarely any updates until it delivers. I sure hope it gets there soon!

That's the $43,000 question. Hopefully not more than two weeks and mine has been at ramp 51 since the 15th.

Sigh. I've been waiting for nearly seven months, I guess it's silly to be impatient now.

Does your window sticker say "convoy" as shipping method ?
If it's being shipped by truck, then there could be a possibility that Mustangs and other vehicles are on the same carrier. Could be picking up some Mustangs at Flat Rock then pick up some Focuses at Wayne Assembly.

I think I'm in the same boat as you, mine's probably still sitting after production, my delivery date was 6/21....

Tell me about it. The shipping wait is the worst part. Soon we'll be driving our cars and this will be just a faint memory.

Says 'Convoy' but that could just mean that it left the Flat Rock plant on a car transport going somewhere. I suspect that the Wayne plant is being used as a consolidation point since there are huge CSX and Norfolk Southern rail yards there. Got a buddy that works for Cassens that is going to try and find out more for me.

Not much to do besides call FCS every few days, huh?

That was a typo right? Didn't you mean every few hours?
