Can't sleep , picking up car tomorrow

[ICU812]

under sticker is great. I feel I'm taking a hit at msrp but its now or never. Someone posted a dealer in PA that was giving 4% below invoice. Too late for that. I'm too close to the front of the line to restart the process again

I got it, for a few thousands under sticker,.
I plan on keeping it long term, for me that means 15-20+ years.
I was going to wait and get one when things simmered down, but rumor has it interest rates will have been bumped up 2 or 3 times by then, so It is either give a little more to the dealer now than I normally would without walking away, or give it to a bank in interest.

I hear ya....I've been into Mustangs since my first fast back in 1978. I plan to keep this GT/CS as long as I can drive it....then it goes to my son to join the new 68 resto mod. Hoping he'll keep it in the family. At 64 I have a limited shelf life so I'm going to enjoy the hell of it now. No sense waiting! I wish I could have gotten a better deal but the fun of driving one of these outweighs the $ savings at this point in my life

[Cruizer]

I remember that feeling. Congratulations! Hope you left some time to drive it tomorrow.

Welp, it looks like I will be picking it up on Friday, Wife had to drive her dad to the doctors this morning, this was planned, what was not planned was coming out of the office to a flat.
AAA has not got there yet, So today is out, and Tomorrow is a no-go. So Friday it is, Who has a baseball bat? So I can beat the crap out of Mr. Murphy.
Murphy's law strikes again, Hay what is another 48 hours.
#$%^&^# %&%$ %@*3.
Worse part is she is fighting with her dad because he wants to change the tire, and she said no. he is 85, stubborn retired marine . God help the AAA tow truck driver. Glad I'm here and not there. lol

oooohhh... Heartbreaker!

Oh well, life happens. The added anticipation will make it sweeter

A 85 year young retired Marine could probably change a tire in less than 10 minutes. I know my dad could. They don't make um like they used to!

It looks really good! I was curious what your opinion is on ecoboost vs the GT since that kind of $ can get you both? My neighbor just bought an ecoboost, but I just couldn't do without that V8 sound especially since it's my first one.

Oh, I am sure he could change it, but he just had one of his eyes worked on, I'm thinking him busting lug nuts loose would not be good with that healing. He is still a marine and has that mind set. we just rather not be the reason his eye doesn't heal correctly.

Just heard from Ford. My gt is built! Delivery between aug 19 and 25!

I test drove a 2020 gtcs it was faster, but it was 49.9k plus the 5 k market adjustment. They sell it to me for 48.5k
The 2.3 hhp 330hp is not a gt but it is not slow by any standard. To get a gt with the magride and pp2 it be over 52k out the door.
Would I like the 480 hp gt, sure, but 11-14k more is hard to take , and the 330hhp 2.3t and hhp handling package limits are higher than my over the hill reflexes are.
I won't hear the exhaust most of the time as I tend to play my music when driving. So the 4 banger exhaust note isn't a deal breaker.
I have a g.m. g body with old nascar high compression 358 v8 for when I want ground pounding rump /rump/ thump/thump.
If I was to track the car a bunch maybe the gt extra cost would be worth it. but it'll be 98% street driving and the 330hp and 350ft lb will be more than enough to get me on the bad side of the law fast.

Oh yeah we wouldn't want that to happen. Good call.

The EB has great torque down low. Very nice.
