It arrived this afternoon !

[Gruntled]

My dealer called me this afternoon with the good news - the big orange truck arrived with my GT! My wife and I immediately rushed over. Everyone at the dealership was very friendly and interested. After taking care of formalities, we took off for home for a 30+ mile drive in rush hour traffic. It attracted a LOT of attention. We lost track of the number of camera-phones we saw. Unfortunately the forecast is for rain the next two days, so it's going to be a garage queen while I remove all the protective film, covers, labels, etc.
I plan on taking it easy until it's broken in.
Thanks to all of you for your support

Oh yeah, the particulars - White / Stripes / Lightweight Wheels / std Black calipers / std radio

I'm excited :banana

David, I just got in from the garage for the umpteenth time :biggrin

Rob, I'm in North Georgia.

I guess the two days of rain will give me time to read the manual.

Absolutely love the enthusiasm in your post and the numerous trips to the garage. I took delivery on April 3rd and still get blown away by the fact that I own a Ford GT. I still make those trips to the garage. Cherish it, enjoy it and after you've "broken it in", drive the hell out of it!!! Congrats :cheers Dan

 

[Gruntled]

Thanks for all the kind words !

Here's a pic. Yep - You can easily tell I'm one of those guys who asks the dealer to leave everything in it's place. I sometimes feel bad doing that, because it's like I don't trust them. I even asked to keep the greasy floor mat protector that the transport truck driver used !!!!

btw - Im still perfecting the "GT Crawl" in the garage. My wife is getting a big kick out of watching me. I'm glad she doesn't know how to use the video camera ! Anyways, it's nice to see her laugh and be happy.
