I didn't take it as a knock... I only replied because I didn't think most readers would realize your were referring to ordering a model... :-)

Oh, I'm a patient man. I *did* forget about the holidays and Ford being a union shop and all, though.

Odd, just last week I had the urge to go buy a car model kit and put it together. Haven't done one of those in 20 years. I might pick up the 05 Mustang model and try to make it as close to my real one as I can.

How much? Dealers here in CA want $5000.00 over MSRP

Ordered mine last monday and was told that the ETA is sometime before Christmas (if I'm lucky). GT Deluxe w/5-speed manual, Torch Red, Dark Charcoal Cloth, Painted Wheels, & the Shaker 1000.

No price gouging here in TN as far as I can tell. Existing GTs on the lots I visited weren't marked up and I was quoted MSRP when I ordered from the hometown dealer.

On another note, I don't understand why alot of these dealers pre-ordered fully loaded GTs with automatics :( Every GT I looked at fit the criteria except for the slushbox..

Don Kott Ford in Carson, CA. It's exactly half way between my home and work.

MSRP exactly. Did the initial dealing via email.

I got everything except the Shaker 1000. The 500 was sufficient for me.

I'm baffled at their color choices. I thought torch red and windveil blue were sort of *the* colors for this year. Seeing a lot of black ones and (shudder) white ones. Couple silvers.

I test drove one with a shaker 500. I agree, unless you want to be heard a few blocks away, the 500 is PLENTY of sound.

Mind if I ask where you are in TN?

Hehe :) Our city's Economic Development Council actually adopted that song for a short period of time in a major campaign to attract tourists. How original, huh?

Didn't work, of course. In fact, it was quite an embarrassment...

I'm a few counties away in Montgomery. Been in the Jackson area on occasion, got lost every time :)

Any good Mustang clubs down that way? Only one I know of is the Music City Mustang Club in Nashville.

There is one, but I have yet to meet up with them.

I don't know how GOOD it is though. When I met an old feller that was handing out fliers or something at a Drive-In featuring some of the rattiest looking classics (all kinds) I have ever seen he told me about a cruise in they were having in Jackson. He then looked at my car and said they would let "any ol car" join in that one. I had to explain that mine is "not just ANY ol car" that by simply being MY car, she was special. He kinda gave me "that look"

I didn't go to his cruise-in. Though I kept the number just in case, and will prolly go sooner or later. How about you, any good things going on up there? Did you go to the big show in Nashville?

Jackson is easy to get lost in, it's like scrambled eggs. Though getting to our place is just as bad. We are out in the boonies. I like it that way though.
