They took it out to the woods and let it return to nature.

OHHHhhh...

Loooking at the "Standard" responses IE: Serialized, Segment, Clean, Unscheduled, gate, ship.. bla bla..

Released is NOT on the list...

I would venture THAT is a BAD BAD BAD Status... Makes me want to think they killed your order!

Then maybe GWFoos is right.... it is probably running through peoples back yards as we type!

THAT might be a question for your dealer.

News Article: "VIN the racehorse released"

The story of 'VIN' the racehorse that was released back into the wild after months of captivation has captivated local and national audiences during recent times. Horse lovers around the world, surprisingly, were not happy to see one of their own released into the wild without an owner.

Quote from 'Riff': "I have been dreaming of a pony of my own and then they release THE ONE from my dreams out into obscurity. I am not much of an outdoorsmen, so I guess I will need to hope that someone stumbles across her. I do hope for a speedy return of my pony."

At this point, this reporter broke down and consoled Riff in this most awkward of moments.

'Released' to the dealer maybe?

Or perhaps Re-Leased to someone else

Gw... what a hoot.

riff... I have a theory: After the car I had on order was built, it was held at the Ford Plant for a "quality check". I was bugging the dealer for an update, and 5 days later (last Friday) he called and said the Ford had "released" my car, and it was being shipped on the first rail car out on Monday morning. Maybe yours is in a similar situation.

It means your car is built and has been released for shipment, either rail or convoy carrier, I called the 800 number today the recording said it was released also , I then talked to a lady at the 800 number she said it was put on the truck this morning and should be here thursday or friday. I'm sure yours is probably the same since they were built same week and we only live about 50 miles away from each other. Yours will come by truck also since we live about 300 miles from the plant rail is for long distance. You should have yours soon.

Hey cfr865

Thanks man. Maybe we should hook up and take a picture. I saw in another thread that "Professor Wizard" has a build date of 5/23. Tooooooooooooooo bad.
