Telling your wife is a problem you want to have.

Don't tell her & act really surprised when it is delivered.

I'm two for two on applications, I received my rejection email yesterday. Pretty much the same feeling I had last time, in retrospect I'm not sure why I thought this go around might be different. I'm original owner of 5 SVT vehicles including 2- GT's, 25+ ford vehicles in collection and fleet, Forum member, etc... However, I'm not into social media, probably considered an old dinosaur in most circles. There's a Ford dealership near San Antonio Texas that has a NFGT on the floor, the sales dept. boast about putting up for auction in a year. Maybe there's more to the story but this is the part of the selection process that's hard to swallow, when investors and celebrities are chosen over the true blue car community. I'm glad a Forum like this exists for all of the enthusiasts out there and best of luck to all the other applicants.
