Default What Does this Mean??

I called the 800# to check on my car tonight and the automated system said that my car has arrived at the ramp.

What does this mean? How much longer does it mean that I have? I'm sitting on pins and needles here.

Well if I remember correctly, your car is built and about to be shipped. Back in April (when I got mine) the delivery could take one week or three weeks.

You are so very close!
Good for you!

I just look at your delivery date, it looks to be right on time.

Did you guys know that if you get a built date, you can setup a tour of the factory and watch your car get built?

A buddy of mine whose a manager told me that after I showed him my new 'stang. Too bad I just went to the dealer lot and picked the one I wanted. I'll probably call him up soon and get a tour.

It means clean out the garage and order your mods. You will have the car home soon. The next time I go to Ohio to visit my dad, I am going to see if they are conducting tours of the plant and if they are, I am going. I figure since O bought 2 of these babies, I should at least get a tour.

It means they decided to trick out your car for the next "Fast and Furious" movie and are about to launch it off of the ramp over like 20 cars and watch it careen down the road!

Then deliver it to you as a "One of a kind" custom car!

Actually - - - it means it is sitting in the parking lot waiting for carrier. IE: the Loading Ramp.

Exactly where is the Ford Plant that makes the 05-06 Mustangs? I was in Ohio in July to tour the Honda Motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio where our bike had been made.

It's definitely not in OHIO. It's in Flat Rock, MI at the AutoAlliance International plant. Check out the videos:

The older mustangs were built at the Rouge Plant in Dearborn, MI

the ramp is the trucking company mixing lot- my first one sat there a week before loading out, arrived that day. If all goes well, you might see it yet this week? good luck!

BTW- Kzinti says...my replacement car should pop out tonight if I'm REAL lucky might get it next week! Doubtful, but we'll see...pins and needles kinda went away after last car...

At the risk of sounding silly, It sounds to me like your car has arrived at the ramp
