Just a little off topic!

I ordered a custom car cover for winter today. That should take care of my short drop window feature in the ice and snow. Also the Service Mangager at the local Ford Dealership hasnt gotten back to me yet. I am sure they are still scratching there heads over in Michigan. I think they have a big problem about to appear this winter.

I had a GT on order for 3 months. I liked the way it looked better than the V6 with the fog lights and the stock rims. I didnt need to go real fast though and the look of the GT was the factor in me ordering it instead of getting the V6 to start with since I was concerned with gas mileage and improving on what I got rid of driving. So basically I think the sales guys knew I wouldnt get my 05 in Sonic Blue but figured I would roll over for an 06 even though the color I wanted wasnt avalable. I didnt understand alotments but I do now. So when they gave me the word a few weeks back that I was rolling over to an 06 and I had to wait another 3 months until October time frame I intensified my search and found a loaded V6 in Sonic Blue since there werent any GTs available. It was 45 minutes from my house. I did give up the GT fog lights and the rims I wanted for this but really didnt care about the extra horsh power that much and the worse gas mileage. So I saved 7K, get better mileage and have the color I wanted with all the options. But I did want the GT rims real bad (Back in the day the Cragar's were the Catts butt! ) so I picked up a set of new take offs on Ebay. Got all 4 delivered for $672. The tires were packaged first class with no chance of getting damaged and they were spotless. Heres a few pics of the mods so far. I also have one of those GT grill kits coming and ordered a Ducktail spoiler today. That should about do it for a while for me.

I bought the tires from ANNE at http://www.karkraft.com/2005_mustang.htm

Took about 2 weeks the get them. Emails on her end were a little sparse but I am happy with the product,packaging etc. I'm not sure if they have any more but it your interested you wont be dissapointed. Tires were $600 and she charged $72 for shipping. A deal for sure!
