We were coming home from a friends birthday party today at about 2pm. I fell asleep on the ride home only to be awakened by my wife yelling at me. We were on I-45 slugishly moving along with all the people heading to Galveston. My wife says,"you see that truck?". It's a car carrier full of 2011 Mustangs. One just happens to be Kona Blue with brembos(what I ordered). And my cars ETA was 9/8. So we pull up next to the truck driver(traffic not moving). I asked him which dealership he was headed to & when he said the name of my dealership, I said,"that's my car on your truck.....I'll see you at the dealership in a few minutes!". Head to the dealership just in time to see it rolling off the truck & in line to be detailed. Met the truck driver who turned out to be a really cool guy. The guy detailing the cars says, this is a nice car, but let me show you something. I head into the building where they do all the detailing & he hands me the keys to a black GT500 'vert w/red racing stripes. I get to fire it up & give a few good revs. It sounded amazing! Very nice, too bad it was $62K!!! I then asked the guy to be sure they don't drill holes for the license plate frame up front, I'll do it myself(yeah right!). He says, "no problem". Go & do all the paperwork, test drove it & ended up talking with the new sales manager who has a 2011 CS/GT. He already had a Steeda cold-air w/Evolution tune & Corsa exhaust. That Corsa exhaust sounded really bad a$$. My wife told me she wants me to get that. I said, "OK!!!". Cool guy too. Paper work finally gets done & to top things off, they let me take my K & N out of the 2010 & put the 2011's paper filter in the 2010 I traded in. Worked out pretty darn good. It was an awesome day. I will post pic's tomorrow as I am completely pooped out. Got out of dealership around 6pm & have been driving around visiting friends & family that wanted to check it out. Stay tuned.

 

Grats on the new car! Cool being there when it was delivered. When I had a Vette I always wanted the Museum delivery.

 

wow man what are the odds of you seeing your car on the back of a delivery truck and being able to watch it as it rolls off. that's called luck my friend . congrats..

 

unreal!!! congrats on the new ride and that's awesome that you were able to have an experience like that...if only we could all be that lucky

 

Congrats on the new ride Rebel. Tell us the truth....how late did you stay out driving it???? LOL

 

Congrats. You get to see the car delivered....your wife WANTS the loud pipes....luck guy.

 

hell of a day!!!

 

what dealership did you get it from? if your near galveston did you get it from McRee?
Grats on the new ride, get some pics up now

 

Thanks guys! I feel very lucky to have been able to have an experience like this. And yes, my wife likes a loud exhaust. When we met in college I had an '86 GT with header / 2-1/2 inch off-road exhaust / 2-chamber flows with head & cam work. That thing sounded like a beast. Every mustang I've had since then I wanted to keep emissions legal so I may have added headers or mufflers, but always had hi - flow cat's. Obviously, they've never sounded as mean or loud as that car. She heard the sales managers Corsa exhaust & told me I had to get that. So, I guess I'll be getting a Corsa cat back now! My wife loves me!

 

Yes, I got it from McRee. A great experience there. I will post a pic or two, but I've been procrastinating & really gotta go & finish prepping for my fantasy football draft in an hour in a half. I'll post more later.
