Default Won a 2005 GT Convert!!!!!!!

Well Im new here, by Chance & Lady Luck! My father is at some Sprint Car races around Iowa. He called a few days ago. Asked if I wanted some tickets to a raffle for a new Mustang. I said sure.

Well he called yesterday, we won the raffle!

All I know about the car is...........

2005 GT Convertible
Dark blue in color
MSRP over $33,000

From the price, I would say it must be fairly loaded with options. I may fly back to Iowa and drive it home. WOW!

If you don't want it... I bet there are several here (Including myself) that would take it off of your hands!

Dude.....your one lucky ****.

Well I dont know Iowa sounds pretty far away from where you live. I'll just call up the raffle place and tell them that you couldnt make it and you said it was cool if I take it off your hands for you.

I still dont quite believe it myself! I decided not to fly back and get it, we will have it shipped on a truck. By the time I pay for airfare (short notice out of Tim Buck Too, Wyoming), Fuel and Hotel .....we can have it shipped for not much more.

Besides, my wife just had our second little girl. Now is not a great time for me to take off.

My father tried to rent a U-Haul tandem axle flat bed trailer (car hauler). His truck is a 2001 Dodge 3/4 ton Cummins. U-Haul told him he could not tow the car??? Whats up with that?

I will post pics when it gets here.
