I have worked in Tokyo 6 out of the past 10 years. It is an awesome experience and their is an amazing car sub culture there. Any and all mustangs are very rare so they catch lots of attention and people love the sound of the V-8 since V-8 cars are rare. Even hyper cars there with V12s...

There are lots of hotties there but none of them are mine. I have to go there for work. I can’t delay it any further than July 29th. That is why I am sweating so hard. The cars that went to Penske just before mine have reappeared and will get shipped so I think I will be in good shape to...

Congrats Tony and Robert! This is also good news for me since my car is right behind yours. I may actually get my car before I have to go to Japan.

You are right. All we can do is wait. I am hoping to get the car anytime before July 29th as that is when I have to go and work in Tokyo for a year. I didn’t expect the car to be delayed this long but I will consider myself lucky if I can just take delivery and store the car before...

I won't complain because I have to pay the money back sooner or later anyway. It just feel weird paying for a car that I don't have. To be fair the payment isn't due until July 22nd so if I am lucky I will have the car before then. I just want the car now. Buying my GT350 was a lot easier.

Hi Tom. It isn't the amount it is the type of loan. I based the loan off of the specific vehicle by the VIN number. I didn't go with the open pre-purchase check. I guess I should have. I didn't borrow a lot I just didn't think it would be worth it to close out some of my stocks...

I understand how you feel. It would be nice to know how long our cars will be at Penske but in the end knowing the information will not shorten the amount of time our cars are at Penske. I will just have to keep waiting You are right Tom. The Grinch has me. I have to make my first car...

I checked with Noah about the Penske process and he told me that cars are taking about two weeks to get the stripes painted on them there. We should start seeing some of the cars that were sent there being returned to Ford to then be shipped out to people waiting for Delivery. As for me I...

I agree with you and don't want to piss anyone off. I am not that much ahead of you but I can't afford to lose even one day in my situation so I won't bother them. I am just starting to sweat things because I am getting short on time before having to go to Japan. With all the 14 day...

Hi Tom. I sure hope they can finish the stripes on more than 9 cars per week! I will try giving them a call and ask them their capacity for painting stripes. If they tell me anything I will post it.

Thanks KB I will take a deeper look at the app and continue to improve the Avatars. Making them is fun and helps to pass the time waiting for my car.

Hi KB I am using a free photo app on my phone. I am open to any recommendations but I am limited by using a free app on my phone. I am pretty cheap when it comes to things except for buying this car LOL!

What do you think of this Avatar KB? I am getting better at it!

Thanks Tom. I edited my post to correct my mistake.

Right now my car has an EDD of 31 July which is 2 days after I fly out to Japan. I have to hope the car comes a few days to a week earlier than the computer estimates. If it is late I will be bummed out and have to ask family members to jump through hoops for me to take delivery of the car.

Thanks for the update Earl. 8 member cars at Penske doesn't seem to be that bad. I don't imagine that it takes too long to paint the stripes on the car. Earl do you know how many total GT500s are at Penske waiting to have stripes painted on them? If the stripes are painted on the car and...

Thanks for the support Earl. At this point I will be happy just to take delivery and put the car into a car capsule and fly to Japan. I will take pics if everything works out.

I hope all of our cars are done soon and sent safely back to the Ford plant for shipping out to us! My car is 1325 which is yours?

Hi Tom. I am so pressed for time and focused on the EDD that I didn't even think about the cars being left outside for an extended period of time. At least we don't have to worry about the tire temperature issue but that hot summer sun will be beating on our Recaro seats and birds may be...

I agree the black hole ("Penske") that our cars are in is definitely a frustrating part of the process. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford drops the POTTS option next year. I already have second thoughts about my decision to order the car with them. I paid $10k for them which is a lot but I...
