"Well, according to "Cathy", the thing won't even be built until the week of 7/18."

Dude - that's when they start back up. That's as quick as anyone else after Friday. You'd settle for a RX-8 or a Maxima?
Find something to drive... a RENTAL would cost less than a cab. You'll always regret NOT getting a 'stang being that close.

Yeah I know, I'm just pissed cause the dealer told me the thing was on the assembly line when I came in.

I'm sorry you were lied to. Salesmen will say anything to get a sale. I know, I sold cars
and because I wouldn't lie... I had to quit. The good news is that your wait will be less than most
of us so you too are "really one of us".

I ordered mine on May 11th and I don't even have a VIN yet. This really blows. I work at Ford and they told me that mine did not make the cut for 05.

Well I get A-plan, so I am probably just going to wait. Plus, I can not find any GT's around me.

Congrats dude...love hearing these good stories. Mine is on it's way here. It is coming via the Chattanooga Choo Choo (rail). Maybe I'll have mine next weekend. I called the dealer yesterday and told them it is on it's way. On their daily updates, they said that the status was bucked (chassis on the line) and that was as of 7:30AM. They were surprised that I knew it has been shipped. Thanks to the Blue Oval Forum, I stayed a few steps ahead of the dealer on this one.

yeah, I hope to meet Kzinti someday... what a guy! I hope to hear "shipped" from him later today.
I'll wait until afternoon to ask for an update that way I have a better shot of getting the best news.
What do I need to have him track it once it leaves the plant? I'll be up your way until Tuesday night....
so it'll be next Wed before I can get another update.

Since it is going to be a few days for your car to get there, I would wait until you get back and have him track it again. He has ways of tracking exactly where your is at almost any given time. He maybe nice enough to send you e-mail to your cell phone if you ask him in a PM.
